Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

"Somebody killed a policeman today,
And a part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect
Will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect who shot him will stand up in court,
With counsel demanding his rights,
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids
And spend alone many long nights.
The beat that he walked was a battlefield, too,
Just as if he'd gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
To his name they will add a gold star.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
It happened in your town or mine.
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors,
A cop put his life on the line.
Now, his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
And he stands at each new rookie's side.
He answered the call and gave us his all,
And a part of America died."

May God watch over the Family and Fellow Officers that put their lives on the line for us everyday. We all lose when one of these heroes fall. And this one was a terrible loss. A man who without care for his own safety did such a noble thing. I hope his family will find some type of peace during this time of mourning. God will not let them down. Keep Faith and know he is in a better place.

Deputy Gumm, thank God you had as much of a life as you did. No one knows when you will be called home, but you had 32 good years. THIRTY TWO! No, I'm sorry, that is NOT enough and the filth who took your life has already surpassed his time here on Earth.

Brother, thank you for your 5 short years of service. You may have done more in those 5 years than many of us have done in far more. God Bless you and thank you for that time you gave.

Rest in Peace, Brother.

I trained on his shift & Gummball was always there asking if he could help... that’s just who he was. Quiet but sneaky funny, hardworking and big hearted. Just a SOLID & GREAT DUDE! He always had time for you, made you feel welcome, & willing to lend a helping hand.

God Bless You Brother... You are already missed beyond measure!

It was with shock and disbelief that I heard of your being shot and killed in the line of duty. Your passing hits home harder as you wore the same uniform that I have worn. You served ACSO proudly, rest in peace. My thought and prayers are with your wife and family.
