Reflections for Police Officer Kenneth Ray Moats
Avenue of the Fallen
Standing at attention in their class “A“uniforms, badges gleaming and shoes like glass, are your brothers and sisters of Law Enforcement. All of whom have previously paid the ultimate price.
Today, like many others, they welcome you to this wonderful place.
As you march down the Avenue of the Fallen, all eyes focus on you as if to say “it’s OK, you’re with your eternal partners.”
A salute is followed and a tear can be seen on so many faces.
Welcome, you served well.
Now come join us in the ranks, another is coming home.

I didn't know you, but I know what you did for all of us. You were taken from this world far too soon by an evil you faced every day. May God's love comfort all of those left behind. Rest easy Officer Moats. Rest easy.

I'm deeply sadden by the death of Officer Kenny Moats, who gave his LIFE in pursuit of coming to the assistance of another human being who called for HELP. Kenny has been denied another DAY of LIFE, why? No real answer to that questions. But I'm sick and tired of those people with Indifference to life, killing Police Officers who serve these same people along with the Good People of our country.
Ms. Moats, my deepest condolences to you and your three beautiful children who must endure this tragic event. I will get on my knees on this day, and pray to God that you and your three children, along with Kenny's parents are all given Peace in your mind, and that each one of you guys are given assurances that Kenny will be taken into Heaven where he (Kenny) will look upon his children, wife and parents and provide protection.

There are no words I can say to express how sad I am about your loss. My heart is broken for your friends and family. We can never thank you and all law enforcement enough for the risks you take on a daily basis...never knowing what awaits when responding to a call. In a second, you were taken away but your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten. Your family, friends, and law enforcement will remain in my prayers. Rest in Peace.

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.”
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.
I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for over five years. Feel those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.
Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.

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 Maryville Police Department. Our country is much less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother.
