Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

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.

Dear Secretary Jarod Hoy:

I hope this letter finds you well, though I understand it is an incredibly tough time for you and everyone connected to your department. I am writing to extend my heartfelt sympathy and deepest condolences for the loss of Youth Counselor Corey Proulx, a brave and dedicated professional.

The news of Youth Counselor Proulx’s death has deeply saddened me and my entire family. The sacrifice that he made while protecting and serving your community is a testament to the selfless and courageous nature of law enforcement officers like him. We can never truly understand the risks and challenges faced by those in law enforcement, and we are forever indebted to them for their unwavering commitment to keeping us safe.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with Youth Counselor Proulx’s family and colleagues during this immensely challenging time. Their loss is immeasurable, and we can only hope that the outpouring of support from the community can offer some comfort in these trying times.

In times like these, we must remember the positive impact Youth Counselor Proulx had on countless lives throughout his life and career. The memories of his dedication, kindness, and professionalism will remain etched in the hearts of those who had the privilege to know him.

To you, Secretary Hoy, and the entire Wisconsin Department of Corrections, my family and I want to express our gratitude for the vital work you do each day, often in the face of danger and adversity. The sacrifice of your fallen colleague serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that come with your line of duty. Despite the risks, you continue to serve with integrity and unwavering commitment, and for that, we are immensely thankful.

Having served 44+ years as a Law Enforcement Professional, my family stands with you during this time of mourning. Please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything we can do to support your fallen hero’s family, you, and your department during this difficult period.

May the memories of Youth Counselor Proulx be a source of strength and may his legacy inspire others to follow in his footsteps of honor and service. We will forever be indebted to the sacrifice he made to keep us safe.

Henry David Thoreau stated that "The hero is commonly the simplest and obscurest of men." You were a hero in both life and death. You gave the ultimate sacrifice and will forever be remembered in that way.

Heavenly Father, so many of America's Peace Officers who are on the front lines to protect us never make it back home to their families. I pray for America's Fallen Peace Officers, Lord God, who gave their lives for us. I pray for the families of these heroes, who have to now endure life without their loved ones. Lord God society tries to move forward, but there is always bloodshed occurring. I now approach Your throne of glory and grace to beg of You for peace. Lord God, bring peace to this land - the United States of America. I now plead for Your divine intervention to quiet our hearts and unify our communities. Please stop the violence that occurs amid our fractured cities. I thank You for all the American Peace Officers who have died protecting us, and ask that You would send an everlasting peace so that America's Peace Officers on the streets may be safe and return home to their loved ones at the end of their assigned shifts. In Christ Jesus' mighty and holy Name, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

A Holy Scripture Verse of Comfort from the Law Enforcement Officer's Bible:

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." [Matthew 5:4 CSB]
