Reflections for Trooper First Class Chase Winston Redner
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.

When Chase was born there could not have been a happier couple than my brother Rick and his wife Linda. He was their world and certainly they were his.
Because we lived in California and communicated through letters back then, it always made our day to receive a letter with tons of photos. Photos of camping, fishing, school. Every year was documented and love oozed from the pages and words.
Then Chase met Leah and that love embraced her just as much.
In a world that can certainly be harsh and painful to many I believe Chase
chose his profession because of the love he had received all his life. That
his service was a testament to his trust in the value of humanity.
We will be forever grateful for the gift of his presence in our lives.
May Chase rest in peace at home with his heavenly and earthly father.
