Reflections for Detective Micah Lee Flick
As we enter another holiday season without you I remember the last time I saw you alive. You were purchasing a gift certificate for your wife for Christmas. You are not forgotten. Your sacrifice is not forgotten. Your loss was gut wrenching then and as I attended the funeral for another fallen, devoted officer yesterday, the wound feels ripped open and raw again. Your babies are teenagers now! I pray for them and your bride. That Jesus' peace that passes understanding would rest on them throughout another holiday season without you. Through the anniversary of your senseless murder. Jesus come soon. God Bless your surviving family blood and blue. May his hand of protection cover them.

We wore the same uniform for the same agency and crossed paths a few times at work or in annual training; that doesn't sound like much, but this is to assure you and your family it was "enough." Although our shared moments were few and brief, I saw the same thing every time I was near you- a young, eager, intelligent, well-respected guy. As others have noted, I remember you as one who always smiled. You wanted to learn all you could, and you represented yourself, your family, and the profession well. Thank you for your example; those who knew you were enriched and those who didn't know you missed out. Peace and blessings to your family today and always.

You are one of the most inspiring people I have ever known. Just your presence alone was amazing. You were so genuinely nice and caring. To know you for those 10 years and to work with you for 7 really made this difficult for me and my husband. You were always in a good mood, always had something good to say. It was an absolute pleasure to work alongside you. You mean so much to us all. May you Rest In Peace forever.
May your family be comforted with your wonderful memory. May all of my brothers and sisters be safeguarded from the evils of the world.
The morning after, I came across this scripture in a strange circumstance but I felt it to be fitting and took it as a sign. May you always know how much you mean to all of us.
Micah 6:8 He has shown all you people what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

It is with great respect to Detective Flick and his family, that I will run the 2019 National Police week virtual 5K Run in their honor. I'll run carrying the thin blue line flag in Chesterfield, Michigan to help spread awareness that we are better, and have safer communities, better lives because of the service and sacrifice of LEO's like Micah.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of your hire and the anniversary of your murder. The paradox of losing of friend is there are moments it feels like a second ago and moments it feels like forever. You are missed brother. It doesn’t get better. We will war on crime and injustice to avenge you, but it will never bring you back.

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,a time to kill and a time to heal,a time to tear down and a time to build,a time to weep and a time to laugh,a time to mourn and a time to dance...,” may Deputy Flick’s family know they have an angel in heaven. May their souls be at peace. Sending my condolences.

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.

Please know that we mourn with you. When it was our time to try to make sense of the loss you all stood beside us, you took us in as family and we are a mournful part of yours. The loss and sadness never goes away, but having the support and tremendous love of the Colorado family will comfort you.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Micah was killed in the line of duty.
To the Flick family, fellow deputies , and all who call Micah 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 Micah gave to his community and the citizens of Colorado and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 5, 2018.

A real "Hero" taken.
You helped make this world a safer place to live.

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).
