Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

On behalf of the Ohio Attorneys General Bureau of Criminal Identification & Investigation, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Sergeant Michael Abbate and the extended law enforcement family of the Nevada Highway Patrol, Nevada.


End of Watch Thursday, November 30, 2023.


Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

Sergeant Abbate,

I watched the news coverage last night, of yours and your partner's deaths. I saw the seemingly endless motorcade of law enforcement vehicles that accompanied your bodies in those two white hearses from the Clarke County Coroner's office to the mortuary. As I will also write in your partner's page, I want to thank you for your service to the State of Nevada, and to the communities you both patrolled. No doubt, you both touched many lives during your careers. You need not worry. I'm sure your colleagues will take over your duties from here on. Your ODMP page doesn't mention it, but I heard you and your partner were both fathers. I will be praying for your children, as well as the rest of your families, friends, loved ones and colleagues. Rest in peace.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. – Matthew 5:9
