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.

I had the pleasure of getting to meet you and have you respond for assistance to some of my departments calls. I remember the first time I met you outside of the Oak Park PD. You were as nice as everyone you worked with at Metra said you were. I only got to meet you again one last time during Christmas. We talked about how you were promoted to detective at Oak Park.
Everything on the news is true about your character because even though some time has passed since you worked at Metra people still talked highly of you.
To your Oak Park Police family you are in my prayers and thank you especially for your help.
God bless your family and give them strength.
