R.I.P Deputy Zirkle. It’s amazing to see young men get in the line of duty at a young age it’s unfortunate to see them pass away in their beginning of their career. Just a reminder of the dangers this career holds. A true hero Deputy Zirkle.

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.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Ryan was killed in the line of duty. I was honored to attend his funeral with officers from Pittsburg PD.

To the Zirkle family, fellow deputies, and all who call Ryan 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. In reading the many reflections left for you, I can see what an impact you made on so many people.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Ryan gave to his community and the citizens of Massachusetts and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on March 15, 2018.

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).

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.”

I know that God sends those angels to watch over our officers, sometimes to protect them and sometimes to whisk our officers into His presence.

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 Ryan'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.

My heart breaks art the unnessary loss of Ryan Zirkle. I read about his funeral and just cried for a life taken to early. I pray that you and his fellow officers will. Eventually find peace in his loss. I am angry that people call 911 when it is not a true emergeny. I kKnow officer Zirkle was doing his job and resonded thinking it necessary but people need to realize that calling for help. When it's not real is wrong. More education needs to be given what is an emergency what is not. I only hope this call was not a prank call because the cost was to high. I live inMarinwood and appreciate all you and your officers do to protect us. Thank you for your service.
