Reflections for Corporal Daniel H. Groves
Lord God, our hearts and prayers go out to the Colorado State Patrol and for the family, friends, and colleagues of Corporal Daniel H. Groves, of the Colorado State Patrol, who was killed in the Line-of-Duty on Wednesday, March 13, 2019. Depart, dear brother-in-blue, out of this world into the arms of the Father who created you, into the arms of the Son who redeemed you, and into the arms of the Spirit who made you whole. You fought the good fight. Now rest in peace. Amen.

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 Colorado State Patrol. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!
