You was always a nice officer, tried to help me find an address and stopped to see if i was okay when i was having phone issues when i pulled off to the side of the road so i wouldn't get pulled over for having my phone in my hand. I will always remember that. Thank you for always being kind and caring and thanks for your service. You put a print on my heart gone but never forgotten.

Rest in peace Sir and thank you for your service! My sincere condolences to the family and friends of this true hero. I am a former Arizona State Trooper and I lost my very good friend and partner Trooper Chris Marano 6759 on December 2009 while he was deploying stop sticks during a pursuit. I am praying for peace and comfort for the family during these difficult times.

Dear friend,

I will miss your jokes, daily memes, advice, and willingness to give the shirt off your back to anyone. You showed up in life for many people. You cared and made so many others feel special and heard . You were one in a million and no one will ever replace you. I'll miss you forever and will always look out for your beautiful family you loved so much. RIP James ❤️.

I’ll miss you brother. We took our pt test together in 06 and became classmates sitting beside each other at the ISP academy in 07, and then shift partners our first few years. I hadn’t seen you since 2020 when I left ISP but thank goodness I got to see you at the post last month when I came up to help out on training. We only caught up for a few minutes, I wish it would have been longer. You were a great man, a great Trooper and will be missed. I know ISP and the rest of us will look after your wife and children. Rest east brother.
