Mark my brother, been thinking about you recently. Also talked a very good friend and we shared some stories about our adventures. To this day it is still difficult to think you were taken from all of us. You were a true genuine friend. I know you are looking down on us and especially your family. Just felt as I needed to let you know. Miss and love brother.

Dear Mark:

Sacrifice, kindness, compassion; these are things that are rapidly evaporating from our countrymen. But you, and too many of my fellow brothers and sisters, know exactly what sacrifice is...you made it in a big way. And so has your family, now and forever. You exemplified compassion and kindness, or else you would never had pinned on our badge of honor.

Now there is a family that lives with a broken heart because of some street vermin. Thankfully you removed that vermin from our streets, but your family still has to grieve. Too many people in this country are quick to condemn an officer when he or she has to use force, to the point that we have mass hysteria and riots. Where is this anger and hysteria for the family left behind, knowing that their hero died in the streets for them? FOR THEM!

Mark, you left this world all too soon, but I am certain that in the time you were here, you set an example for others to follow, and hopefully the "liberal media" to give due respect and gratitude for those of us who do a thankless, highly scrutinized, underpaid job that few have the courage or the compassion or the kindness to do.

In closing, I give to you, the words my late Dad gave me many years ago upon my graduation from the Police Academy; "Above all else, honor". Amen

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Mark was killed.

To the Logsdon family, fellow officers, and all who call Mark beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Deputy Logsdon gave to his community and the citizens of Maryland, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 10, 2016

I Served with Mark as a member of the Maryland National Guard, Det 1, HHC 115th MP Bn. He was a great soldier and an awesome leader. One of the funniest guys I've ever met. He will truly be missed by all that knew him! My continued prayers and condolences to his family and friends. May his soul continue to RIP!!

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Deputy Logsdon. In the bible, Jehovah God promises a bright future for those that have fallen asleep in death. Revelation 20:12,13 reads "I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. The dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds. And the sea gave up the dead in it, and death and the Grave gave up the dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds."

All the good deeds that Deputy Logsdon displayed by serving his community will not go unnoticed by God, for his is assured a resurrection. What a glorious hope! I hope God's promise brings comfort to Deputy Logsdon wife, children, parents, and all fellow colleagues.

Mark, 8 years ago when I joined the honor guard you made me feel like a part of the team from the first day. You were the first to call me Mack. I knew that if you were on the detail, no matter how tough, you would make it fun. I loved your honesty and your smile. You never minded taking my money on lost Ravens Seahawks bets. I will truly miss you brother. Your actions that day saved others.

Mark,

I am going to miss you more then you will ever know. I have enjoyed working with you so much over the past 8 years. You really were a joy to be around and I learned a lot from you. I will never forget the card games, golf games, AC trip, lunches, talking about Seahawks/Ravens football and just goofing off in the Office. I am sure you will be watching over all of us and making sure we stay safe. I know you are probably playing cards in heaven with Charlie and sipping on a private stock and coke. RIP Brother.

Brothers in Arms till the last. No greater gift than to give your life for another I believe our Lord put it. And both of these officers made the greatest sacrifice for all of us to be safe. I am deeply sorrowed for your families loss. Again We All Lose when a officer is taken before his time this way. My father was in LEO for 17 years and I have seen a few men taken this way. It strikes a place in my heart. God be with you all.

My heartfelt sorrow for your loss. May God support you and your loved ones during this time of mourning. We all support you. B.Umbenhower Missouri

We all lose when officers are taken in such a needless and violent way. May God Bless each of you his family. And I pray everyone will petition their officials to make a No Parole ever for LEO killers in each state. This needless killings of our Valiant Police must be stopped. Again My deepest regret for you loss.

My heartfelt sorrow for your loss. May God support you and your loved ones during this time of mourning. We all support you. B.Umbenhower Missouri

It has been said, that a coward dies a thousand deaths and a Hero dies but one. I personally do not subscribe to that thought. It is my belief, that Our God recycles the most worthy of souls and calls upon their service repeatedly, throughout Time Immemorial. Those who have dedicated or given their lives to that most honorable of causes, the fight between good and evil, live on to fight another day, in another life time. Therefor, I know that I will stand again with you Brother, perhaps not in this life but most assuredly in the next.

Until then, enjoy your brief respite with Our God, heal your wounds and visit with loved ones passed. Soon you will suit up and ride out again, to fight the good fight once more. For this is the Glorious Honor that the cowards will never know......This, is the Hero's way.
