Reflections for Corrections Officer II Lee Michael Hackbarth
Most merciful God, You hold each of us dear to Your heart. Hold all America’s Peace 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 ESV]

Officer Hackbarth,
On today, the 1st anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Armed Forces. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Brother Hackbarth; Between the general info released about you after your passing, and
what I heard from colleagues who knew you, you made the supreme sacrifice, and will be
remembered in the highest esteem and regards possible by your MN DOC brothers and
sisters. I never worked with you, but you will always be our brother. To lose one from your
own department is like losing a member of the family.
God bless, condolences to your family. God bless and be with all of my MN DOC brothers and sisters.
