My heart is truly broken, I am stunned and speechless but I will attempt to articulate. Joe Gomm was one of the most decent, thoughtful, and caring people I have ever worked with in my over forty years in the corrections profession. Myself along with all who worked with and knew him, truly loved this man like a brother. Joe was a true , loyal and brave brother of the uniform and profession, and he was always a solid and decent union brother. Solidarity forever my union brother. Your brothers and sisters at work will never forget the sacrifice that you have made.
To Joe's family I would like to convey my most profound regards and condolences. I would like to mention the adage; They are not heroes for how they died, they are heroes for how they lived. To the Gomm family, our thoughts, prayers and gratitude are with you and Joe always.
To all of my brothers and sisters in the Minnesota Dept. of Corrections, I would like to say, God bless, and be with you, one and all. Stay strong, stay safe, stay faithful.

"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor."

(Romans 13:1‭-‬7)
