My condolences to the family and friends. I pray for a day when police are no longer needed. May you rest in peace.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
And let the perpetual light shine upon them.
And may the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

R.I.P. BROTHER Fahey!!!

Nebraska Police Officer

January 27, 2017

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

To the Fahey family, fellow officers, and all who call David 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 Officer Fahey gave to his community and the citizens of Ohio, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on January 24, 2017.

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

Dave, this day will be forever etched in my brain. That horrific night keeps playing over and over. C-platoon will never be the same without your infectious smile and laugh. The Department, the City of Cleveland, your friends, your family, and your colleagues are at a loss. Put in a good word for me as your patrolling the streets of heaven. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. You will never be forgotten.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.
By Jon F. Hooper

Fahey, I'll never forget the encouragement you gave me in the academy, it was the boost I needed to keep on pushing through. I remember how you and I had the best Kwan and Cox impersonations (pretty sure your Cox impersonation was better). Rest in peace brother.
