John 5:28, 29 - "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

I will never forget about you Pabón, all the great work we did together ( en las Preventivas ) all around 772, 366, Calle Loiza etc... You never hesitate to help another officer and fight crime. Your kindness, professionalism, courage and motivation will always put you in top.
God Bless you mi hermano,

Se me hizo difícil procesar la noticia sobre la baja de un compañero en un accidente de auto. Más difícil fue procesar que habías sido tú! No dejaba de pensar en los buenos tiempos de la superior. Los buenos tiempos de adolescente. Lagrimas aún corren por mis mejillas al saber que ya no volveremos a ver tu sonrisa. En mi caso la pérdida fue por partida doble: la de un compañero de clase y la de un compañero de la Fuerza. Gracias por haber protegido nuestras familias en PR. Ahora descansa en paz entras nosotros ahora cuidamos de los tuyos. Tu misión ahora será velar por nosotros hasta que volvamos a tomar servicios nuevamente en el reino de los cielos.

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Rest in peace my brother. I will never forget all the sacrifices you made for the Agency. You always had the courage to act in any kind of emergencies.
It was an Honor to work by your side when I was assigned to Turistica San Juan.
With RESPECT.
