“The true measure of a person is not found in the might of their arm, their wealth or their power--it is found in the strength of their character.

There is no greater testimony to one’s character, than ones willingness to sacrifice all, in the noble quest of providing protection to all whom they serve.”

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray Psalm 91 over all LEO’s and this prayer also:

“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 your family to God every morning for over six years. I pray that Tom's life and death will bring glory to His name.

Trust those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.

Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.

I came to know Senior Trooper Thomas Nipper when I worked At Scott and White Emergency Department in Temple, Texas. Saw him occasionally outside of work when he would be with his family and friends. Always the Professional; always the family man...always the nerdy straight guy to his colleague Trooper Bobby King. Thomas was going to finally retire next year...I have been asking God all week, “Why, Nipper, Father? He just wanted to retire next year.” The Heavens are silent on the matter and we are left with heavy hearts. All we can do is comfort the family...support each other...appreciate the moments we have with each other. No “purpose” seems right nor fair...death has come once more...in Thomas’ case, I can only imagine, Thomas’ colleague Senior Trooper Bobby Lee King standing at the door waiting and saying, “Tom, I’ve been waiting for you...about time you showed up...the crowd is hot for a good laugh!”

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 Texas Highway Patrol. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!
