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.

On 8/24/2021 we found out you had left us. You were a brother in arms and a friend I was just getting to know. Always thoughtful and insightful in our conversations, whether about God & Faith, Family, Politics, or investments. Your watch has ended we will hold the line.
Forever will you be missed…
When we found out everything for us stopped, we came together and recited this prayer on your behalf:
God, full of mercy, who dwells on high, grant proper rest on the wings of the Divine Presence in the lofty levels of the holy and the pure ones, who shine like the glow of firmament for the soul of Officer Erik Skelton who has gone on to his world. May his resting place be the Garden of Eden, therefore may the Master of Mercy shelter him in the shelter of his wings for eternity; and may he bind his soul in the bond of Life. God is his heritage, and may he repose in peace on his resting place. May his wife and his family find comfort amongst your children.

Officer Skelton, 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. My heart breaks for the sorrow that your parents are experiencing over the loss of their son. May God immerse you and your loved ones in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

Lord God of unfailing love, to those families who are suffering in the wake of the loss of a law enforcement family member, help us to provide support. Allow us to be their rock and fortress in a time of immense pain and uncertainty. Help us to keep them safe and nourished in their time of grief, suffering beside them as we move toward healing and reconciliation. Lord God, in Your compassionate mercy, hear my prayer. In Christ Jesus, Your beloved Son, I pray. Amen.
