Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Still miss you as much buddy. I always will. Love you brother.

You were just a few years younger than me when you joined GPD. Your attitude everyday was off the charts great. Because you were very intelligent, you learned quickly and became a shining star, filling about every specialty position at our LE agency. We became fast friends, and I was proud to have you as mine. I still am.

We would swap stories about our families, you always sporting a big smile when you spoke of your amazing Wife and children. You cheering for me when I spoke of fulfillment and joy about my little girls. When you rode with me, my Mother, who lived in our city, would feed us dinner.

I miss you buddy, and pray all of our GPD Officers will walk together again someday.

Don it's hard to believe that it has been a year since you were taken from us. You are still a part of our lives and remembered as your name is mentioned at trainings and roll calls for your words of wisdom, your big, contagious smile and laugh. My wife who went to high school with you as a fellow Honker, also recognizes you and your family on this 1 year anniversary.

Don, so hard to believe it has been a year since you were taken from us. You are remembered daily as there are times at trainings or roll calls when your words of wisdom and descriptions of your contagious smile and laugh are talked about. My wife who went to high school with you as a fellow 'Honker'also recognizes you today and your family. Rest in Peace.

God bless Officer Sahota and his loved ones. God bless Deputy Feller. He was doing The Lord’s work, trying to protect the innocent. Sad situation all around.

The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.

There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell

Rest in peace brother, we have the watch.

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.

Officer Sahota, your story is such a tragic one, it is difficult to find the words to express my sorrow for you and your family. I thank you for your bravery and your sacrifices which are just beyond the pale here. May our good Lord hold you in His arms and give you comfort and rest. May He wrap His arms around your family who must learn to live without you now . I will also pray for the Officer involved in this tragedy whom I am sure is suffering; May God Bless him/her.
