Well, I am truly sorry for the community and for the Corpus Christi Police Department who lost this young man in this accident. I can tell you that I could write a book on how many times I managed to avoid getting struck by everyday motorist. While working as a motorcycle officer both on duty and off duty jobs like funeral escorts. I know that the Chief Mike Markle will do everything he can to see that this officer's family is taken care of now and into the future. RIP Senior Police Officer Vicente Ortiz. John 3:16, Amen.

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.
