Officer French, you are a true hero and you were taken from us far too early in your life. You touched the lives of many staff, students, parents, and community members in our Dyer-Kelly Elementary Neighborhood. Your passion for the work you did changed lives and made a huge difference for our students. You went above and beyond to help families; I often talk about you and use you as a role model with my students when they are struggling. You always offered great advice, support, and stories that helped move my practice forward as a school administrator. I will never forget you and the work you did has forever left our community changed for the better. You will be missed and I pray your children, family, girlfriend and her son will all find comfort in knowing you left us too soon, but you truly lived by modeling the changes you wished to see in the world. ~Another angle got his wings~

Having worked off and on with the fine men and women of the Sacramento Sheriff's Office, I can say that this is especially hard but your family and community at large will always remember your sacrifice and dedication to duty. People who knew you speak highly of your professionalism, dedication and great work. Like many who have fallen, it is always difficult to understand the "whys" but rest assured you shall not be forgotten. May God bless your family and may they gain strength because of who you were.

A Prayer for Deputy Sheriff Robert French:

Lord God of Mercy, Peace, and Love, we remember before Your throne in this moment our Brother-in-Blue, Deputy Sheriff Robert French, of the Sacramento County, California Sheriff’s Department, who sacrificed his life in the Line-of-Duty. We recall with gratitude and respect all that he stood for in this life. Help us to live in the companionship of his spirit. May we be kind to the family, friends, and colleagues he loved; devoted to the county and state in which he served; and loyal to the causes which he championed in law enforcement. Thus, in our life, may he live on, to our great comfort, to the betterment of Your creation, and to the furthering of Your most Holy Will. Almighty God, we ask that you grant us a deeper appreciation of the efforts of all police officers who serve our communities, counties and states daily. For their dedication to our security, order and peace, we give You thanks. May they be encouraged in their work which benefits us all. Help us to grow that spirit of community that will make their job both easy and fulfilling. And now may our fellowship together and Your blessing today bring a renewed sense of joy to each of us. Amen.
