Our deepest sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Deputy Richard Whitten.
Your service, bravery and ultimate sacrifice will not be forgotten. One of God's primary qualities is love. (1 John 4:8). To emphasize that point, the Bible portrays God as having feelings similar to those of a nursing mother. Isaiah 49:15 15 "Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee" (King James Version). Just like caring parent, would try to alleviate a child’s suffering. Likewise, God does not cause innocent people to suffer (Genesis 18:25; ).​ The Bible has exposed the wicked one, the one that has caused all of our mishaps (1 John 5:19). Knowing that were living in the last days (Matthew 24: 3-14: 2 Timothy 3:1), having that knowledge is good news itself. Because it's the last of these bad days. So soon all this will be over and we should ask ourselves, what will happened to those we have lost? when will we see them again? The Bible has the answer to that and when we we invite you to copy paste the following article: https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/bible-study/there-will-be-a-resurrection/
Enjoy, please read all the Bible references. Despite what we believe, many people also believe in what the Bible says since its the word of God.

Deputy Whitten,

Deputy Whitten, your dedication was evident and heroic. The other Officer also showed great bravery and for that, we are all grateful. How tragic and infuriating that the animal who murdered you couldn't have taken his own life first and saved so many so much grief.

Brother, God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace.

My brother, not a day goes by that I don’t think about you. Your smile and slightly sarcastic remarks. You had a way of making one believe something when deep down it was all a lie, but it was funny. You had me believing I was gonna get fired but all that was going on was I being issued a new vest. I sure miss our pep talks about the law and how times have changed. You said you were coming home one day. I never thought coming home would this way...... I miss you so much. I stood guard at your funeral wishing this was all a nightmare. I watched as each person paid their condolences and somehow keep a straight face as they passed me weeping. I was as strong as I could be but deep down I was shattered. I don’t even know how I was able to stand. I could go on and own but the fact is I miss you and that’s never gonna go away..........

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.
