Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Martinez,
On today, the 2nd anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Ellis County. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. There is no tougher job in Law Enforcement then that of a Corrections/Detention Officer.

JC Martinez

It's been over 1 year now since I've seen or heard your voice. You were taken away from us in the blink of an eye. A piece of our heart was also taken away the day that you left us. It's hard to understand why or how this happened. In the midst of all our questions, hurt, and pain we know this one thing. You were faithful until the end...faithful to God, to your beautiful wife, to your children (& grandchildren), and to the law enforcement profession. And according to 1st Thessalonians 4:14, which says, "For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers (JC Martinez) who have died."

I know this is a temporary light affliction to be separated from you. Thanks for blessing us with your presence and living a life that demonstrated honesty, loyalty, and grit. May all those who knew you, never forget the man of faith that you were. Lastly, may we all be inspired to surrender more of our lives to the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ.

Let us strive to live and love like Jesus.

Most merciful God, You hold each of us dear to Your heart. Hold all our nation’s law enforcement officers and their families, who are afflicted or affected by the COVID-19 Virus, in Your loving arms and tenderly draw them into Your life, together with all others who are living with the COVID-19 Virus. Assure them that they are not alone, and give them courage and faith for all that is to come. Strengthen those who care for them and treat them, and guide those who do research. Forgive those who have judged harshly, and enlighten those who live in prejudice or fear. Nourish those who have lost sight of You, and heal the spirits of those who are broken. We pray this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, who suffered and died, and then rose from the dead to lead us into new life, now and forever. In Christ Jesus, I pray. Amen.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons (children) of God.” [Matthew 5:9]
