End of Watch Thursday, November 21, 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, Lord our God, you are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Our brother, Deputy Sheriff Ralph "Butch" Waller, of the Palm Beach County FL Sheriff's Office, was suddenly and violently taken from us; struck and killed by a motor vehicle in the "Line-of-Duty". Come swiftly to his aid, have mercy on him, and comfort his family, friends, and colleagues by the power and protection of the cross. In the mighty and holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.
