My condolences to the family and co-workers of Officer Lance Whitaker. Thank you sir, for your service to the citizens of Florida. Rest in eternal peace.

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 Jacksonville County Sheriff's Office. Our Country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

God, filled with mercy, dwelling in the heavens' heights,
bring proper rest beneath the wings of your Lord,
amid the ranks of the holy and the pure,
illuminating like the brilliance of the skies the soul of Lance Whitaker who went to his eternal place of rest.
May You who are the source of mercy shelter him beneath Your wings eternally,
and bind his soul among the living, that he may rest in peace. And let us say: Amen.
