Me and Magli went to Hudson High together. He was part of a group of us that would go to Beef O Brady's every Wednesday for wings and football in the parking lot after. I am shocked and saddened by his passing and wish peace for him and his family. I am very sorry for the sheriff's loss, he was a good man. He was trying to protect people and I am forever thankful for Mike Magli. Love ya man.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.
I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.
