It’s was an honor and privilege to have known Chris for nearly 20 years. To have witnessed the class he exhibited not only as a Military Veteran and Law Enforcement Officer, but as a member of my family.

Losing you today was painful, not just our family but also for the family in brown you moved away from to become a US Marshal. We were and still are proud of you, for everything you’ve done.

Even though I may only see you one more time at your service, you will forever be in our hearts.

May God comfort your family and protect Your children.

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 US Marshal's Service. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Deputy Marshal Hill, I was following this all day, hoping that the rumors were not true. Unfortunately, the 2 PM Press conference gave us the information that it was no longer rumors and that we did lose you, another hero. My heart broke, then broke even more when I called a friend who is also a Deputy Marshal and learned that he was friends with you. As I told him, C.O.P.S. will be here for your family and coworkers including him. You, your family and coworkers will remain in my thoughts and prayers
