Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Marcus was my handgun and AR-15 instructor. He was an excellent teacher and shooter. He was safety focused competent and patient. I was proud of witnessing him demonstrating his skills in IDPA and Friday Night Steel events in which he consistently placed in the top rankings.

I enjoyed his 2 beautiful dogs, meeting his family, his instruction and his support. I pray for peace and comfort for his family, fellow Officers, and students.

God Bless!

I am saddened to learn of his passing.

Lord God of unfailing love, to those families in our beloved nation, the United States of America, who are suffering in the wake of the loss of a law enforcement family member, help us to provide support. Allow us to be their rock and fortress in a time of immense pain and uncertainty. Help us to keep them safe and nourished in their time of grief, suffering beside them as we move toward healing and reconciliation. Lord God, in Your compassionate mercy, hear my prayer. In Christ Jesus, Your beloved Son, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

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.
