The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;

Thank you Deputy Kunze for making the ultimate sacrifice for others. "Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me."

Robert K. Kunze III worked with the Shawnee County Sheriff’s Office for six years before taking a new position with the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office in 2006. He was one of fifteen deputies hired in October of 2000, which is the largest hiring class in agency history. Of the 15 deputies hired, seven are still working at the Shawnee County Sheriff’s Office. Robert had a tremendous impact on coworkers over his six years of employment. He was genuine, caring, and had an enthusiasm for the job that filled any room he walked in. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Robert’s family as well as our brothers and sisters in Sedgwick County.

Sheriff Kunze, when you chose to be in law enforcement, you knew that your life would always be in danger, and yet, called to unselfish service and a desire to save lives, you did it anyway. I salute you for your devotion and pray that you will now find the peace that only our Lord can give. My deepest sympathy to your family and colleagues, and during this time of grief, may our Lord immerse you and them in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your memory.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper
