God of Justice, You are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Our Brother-in-Blue, Police Officer David Kellywood, of the White Mountain Apache Tribal Police Department, was taken from us suddenly and violently on Monday, February 17, 2020. He was shot and killed, in the Line-of-Duty, after responding to reports of shots being fired near the Hon-Dah Casino in Pinetop, Arizona, shortly before 1:00 am. Officer Kellywood was the first officer to arrive on the scene and encountered the subject, who immediately attacked him. During the ensuing struggle, the man fatally shot Officer Kellywood. Another officer who arrived on the scene shot and killed the subject. Come swiftly to his aid, have mercy on him, and comfort his family, friends, and colleagues by the power and protection of the Cross. We ask this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus, the Christ, Amen.

“The greatest love you can show is to give your life for your friends.” [John 15:13 GW]

“Blessed are those who mourn. They will be comforted.” [Matthew 5:4 GW]
