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.

Few answer the call for service. You chose to use your time on this earth to better yourself and others. You answered the call to be a protector, a warrior, a light that burns in the dark. You have served well and gave the ultimate sacrifice. You will be remembered by all your brothers and sisters in blue. Rest easy. We will hold the line from here.

My sympathy goes out to all of your loved ones especially your son. I hope your blue family remembers his son and checks in on him. He will grow up and know that his father is a true hero. Keep watch over him and those officers still out on patrol. You will never be forgotten and you are a true hero.

Sheriff Lane, our world is full of evil people, and yet, you dedicated your life to protecting others that they may be safe. Our Lord, who sees all and knows all, will reward you abundantly for your courage, dedication and selfless service. My heart breaks for the baby you've left behind, who will never know the love of his daddy. May God immerse you and him in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.
