Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your memory.
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.

Corporal Middlebrook, my heart breaks that you have left behind a wife and three young children. Only God knows why this happened. But knowing that our God is a loving, compassionate God who wants only what is good for us, may your family find consolation in that thought during their time of mourning. May our Lord embrace you and give you His peace, and immerse you and your family in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace.

As I look at this blank computer screen, I contemplate what I might tell your family. There are no words to express our deepest sorrow.
Understanding your grief, I encourage you all to think of all the positive things that Corporal Middlebrook selflessly did during his life and service as a police officer. I agreed with my eight-year-old niece when she said to my wife, “Remember the good times.”
Corporal Middlebrook is a True American Hero. Undoubtedly, he touched many lives and is a very special person. We are praying that God will give your family strength during this time and protect them from any bitterness entering into their hearts.
To the parents of Corporal Middlebrook, you raised a fine young man. I know that you are and always will be proud of him.
