Deputy Sheriff Reckling, 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 9 years of commitment to law enforcement service, to your family, and to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

Deputy Sheriff Bradley J. Reckling, I am very saddened and disheartened to read the details of your murder here at the hands of these cowardly criminals. This is so senseless. Your children are left without a father's love and guidance and a wife is left without your support to raise them.
May God Bless and keep you now. I thank you for your brave service to all of us. Rest In Peace, Brother.

I didn’t know you, you didn’t know me. But I do know that you you served the ultimate sacrifice of being in this position. Doing this job, it truly is my worst fear.

I know you’re in a better place.

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. .

O glorious prince St. Michael,
chief and commander of the heavenly hosts,
guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits,
servant in the house of the Divine King
and our admirable conductor,
you who shine with excellence
and superhuman virtue deliver us from all evil,
who turn to you with confidence
and enable us by your gracious protection
to serve God more and more faithfully every day.

What greater loss can a community suffer than losing one of God's agents appointed to uphold righteousness and protect us? What greater loss can an officer's wife endure than the loss of her protector and provider? God took Deputy Reckling home, so He is responsible to protect and provide for his wife and family. May He surround them with arms of comfort and use the rest of us to meet their physical needs. May He place His hand on the unborn in a divine way and bless the child with godly wisdom and influence.
