Reflections for Corrections Officer V Thomas Adedayo Ogungbire
Officer Ogungbire, for many years, you dedicated your life to protecting others that they may be safe. It took a small virus to take your life. Our Lord, who sees all and knows all, will reward you abundantly for your courage, dedication and selfless service. May He immerse you and your loved ones in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

A corrections 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 Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

My deepest sympathy for his family, personal & professional. Having been a Corrections Officer, I know the hardships of the job. My 1 question is, why is it that, when a Corrections/Detention Officer passes, either on the job or as a result of the job, he/she does not receive the Falken Officer's Memorial/Funeral that police officers receive...... Godspeed, Sir. You have earned your eternal rest in His arms.,
