Rest in Peace brother and watch over us.
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.

A PRAYER DEDICATED TO POLICE OFFICER EDGAR I. FLORES:
God of Mercy, we come boldly and humbly before Your throne in sincere faithful and fervent prayer. You are the Light, the Love, and the Life. We pray for the family and colleagues of Police Officer Edgar I. Flores, of the DeKalb County, Georgia Police Department, who fell, short and killed, in the Line-of-Duty on Thursday, December 13, 2018. We thank Sergeant Matthew Moreno for his service to his county, state and his country, the United States of America. He is a "True Blue Hero”. Bless the lives of his family so that they might find healing. Help the DeKalb County Police Department comfort and support his family in their time of grief. Even though his death may have been senseless, make something good come out of this incident so that the DeKalb County Police Department and the County of DeKalb, in which Police Officer Edgar I. Flores served, might be stronger because of his life and death. We pray all these things, in Jesus’ mighty and holy name. Amen.
Rest in Peace our Hero-in-Blue. We will take it from here! God speed my Brother-in-Blue! And for the family, friends, and the DeKalb County Police Department, in which Police Officer Edgar I. Flores served, please find comfort in these words from Jesus Christ, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” [Matthew 5:4]. For the Lord Jesus proclaimed, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [children] of God" [Matthew 5:9] and "Greater love has no one than this that someone lay down his life for his friends" [John 15:13]. For the Lord Jesus also promised, “… Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise!” [Luke 23:43].

Thank you for your service and ultimate sacrifice. It takes a special person to answer the call to protect and serve others in a society that is far to often fractured and divided.
May your personal and law enforcement family find peace and comfort in the nobility of your friendship and service. May the public be ever mindful of the flesh and blood behind the badge that protects us from the darkness that walks among us. Rest in Peace Officer Edgar Isidro Flores.
