Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I just watched all 3 videos of the ambush on YouTube and cried through the whole thing! I've always supported my brothers and sisters in blue and the bravery you face each day! My prayers are always with you! To the family of Det. Mike Doty my deepest condolences and prayers as well as to all his fellow officers and friends. No words can take away the pain and heartbreak you each feel! I'm so very very sorry for your loss!

Mike,

I can't believe it's about to be three years my friend. I miss all the fun times we had working at Carowinds together; not a day goes by I work there without you being on my mind.

Thank you for always sharing your wit and humor with us all, and thank you for always having my back. You are truly missed.

Until we meet again brother.

I hope that everyone can find comfort in Revelation 21:4 where it says, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Until we see him again in Paradise, please accept my condolences.

Deepest condolences to Family, Department and Friends. Visit the web site ImagineHeaven.net for a glimpse of the Glorious Reunions awaiting. All law enforcement men and women indeed qualify as "Foxhole Christians" with their duty dangers. As Ray Comfort at LivingWater.com says "Passing is the doormat they wipe their feet on before entering Heaven.” It is our belief they will hear from the Lord Himself. “Do not fear. for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom” (Luke 12:12).

Mike,
You are a good friend and inspiration to all that have taken the oath “To Serve and Protect”.

Each year at Salemburg, as we stood with the Police Explorers during the Officer Memorial, I prayed that this year would be last year a new name was added to the Memorial Monument. And now in 2018, yours will be among the many that have made the ultimate sacrifice.

We miss you Mike, but are comforted knowing your in a better place!

Thank You for your commitment and leadership to the NC Police Explorers and citizens of York County......

YOU are our HERO

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

To the Doty family, fellow officers, and all who call Michael 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. I hope that your family knows that a nation mourned for you.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Detective Doty gave to his community and the citizens of South Carolina and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on January 17th, 2018.
