Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Derek,

Thank you for years of service to the citizens of Mesa County and your brothers & sisters in law enforcement. I'll always fondly remember spending time with you on calls, and all the times we talked on the phone and hung out in between calls over the years.

To those who didn't know Derek, he really was a nice guy. I know it's appropriate to say that about anyone who has fallen, but Derek never let the negatives of the job get to him. He always had a smile and a laugh to share, and I don't recall ever seeing him angry about anything, even on the bad days that we all have. A rare breed in this tough profession, and a sad loss for our agency and community.

Until we meet again, rest in peace brother and friend.

God Bless you officer Geer. You gave your utmost for our safety. Then even after you were gone you still gave to save lives. I hope your family knows how proud of you we are. God Bless them and may God hold them in the palms of His hands as they learn to go on without you.

Thank you Deputy Geer for your ultimate sacrifice. Thank you for trying to do what society always asks of us... Tasing a juvenile before shooting him... Even though it cost you your life. Rest in peace brother.... We've got the watch from here.
God bless your family and your LEO family as they mourn your loss. Thank you Geer family for donating his organs that someone else may live and that Derek may live on in them. Praying for all. May you find peace.

A Prayer for Deputy Sheriff Derek Geer:

Lord our God, you are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Our Brother-in-Blue, Deputy Sheriff Derek Geer, of the Mesa County, Colorado Sheriff’s Office, was suddenly and violently taken from us in the Line-of-Duty. Come swiftly to his aid, have mercy on him, and comfort his family, friends, and colleagues by the power and protection of the cross. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

“Greater love has no one than this that someone lay down his life for his friends.” [John 15:13]

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray:

“Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for over four years. Feel those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.

Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.

Not all juveniles are 'kids', some are as dangerous as any adult, but God forbid law enforcement responds to reality.

You served your community and your nation. You are a true hero.

God Bless you, Brother and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful.
