Jake and his family were our neighbors. We saw them when we were out in the backyard (we shared a property line) and enjoyed watching his oldest grow and the youngest we knew since birth. They were great neighbors, with lovely kids and we would have a neighborly hello/visit with them on family walks too. She has moved away now, and the fence the new owner put up is a constant reminder that he and his family are gone. What a loss for us all.

We are so thankful for Jacob's service and so sorry for his family and friends' loss. We visited Crystal Lake beach and sat in the chair that serves as a memory for Jacob, not knowing it at the time until looking at the photos later. It is humbling to be reminded of the service and sacrifice our officers make to keep us safe. We are lifting up this family in prayer.

It is a fact that I am sure most of those reading this are aware, but it bears reminding, that without people like Deputy Keltner our republic would perish from this earth. The ability of us to live in peace and with relatively little fear of violence as compared to many places on this earth is a testament to people like Deputy Keltner. Thank you for your service, may your society faithfully remember you and care for your family and friends as you have faithfully cared for all of us. Rest in peace, and peace be unto your family and friends in this difficult time.

Deputy Keltner, you are a hero. That is no consolation for those you leave behind but it is truth. This animal had no intention of going peacefully, though I know all would have preferred it to the loss of even his life.

God Bless you, Brother and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful.
