Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Deputy Young, a police officer should be remembered not by how he died but by how he lived! A brave man has left to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you for your military and 2 years of commitment to law enforcement service, to your family, and to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office. Our country is a little less safe without you.

End of Watch Friday, April 5, 2024.



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.

Heavenly Father, You are Compassionate and Merciful. None of America's Peace Officers leave home without the fear of not returning at the end of their watch. It is a fear that is lived daily. Unfortunately, the worst sometimes come to pass, and lives are left shattered. Lord God, bless and keep the hearts and souls of those who have lost loved ones in the Line-of-Duty. Wipe away the tears from their eyes. Soothe their pain and bind up their emotional wounds through the wounds of Your beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus' mighty and holy name, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

Scripture of Comfort and Hope:

During His Sermon on the Mount, the Lord Jesus Christ made the following promise, "Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [children] of God." [Matthew 5:9 ESV]
