A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Kentucky State Police. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

Service to a community, men and women you don't even know is a sign that it takes a very special person to accomplish all of what you have done.

Trooper Ponder, you served us while in the Navy and one again in the Kentucky State Police. Thank you, prayers and blessings to you, your family and all others that had the honor of serving with you.

Rest in peace Sir , both you and your family will always remain in our prayers. We saw you working tirelessly to make society a better place that was no to be. With tearful eyes we saw God take you to His loving home. Although you worked tirelessly society remains headed in an ever delinquent way. Thus, God made your golden loving heart stop beating and hard working body rest. God broke our hearts to prove to both society and to us, he only takes the best.
