Officer Horan, 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 military and 7 years of commitment to law enforcement, your family, and the Greensboro Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace, Brother!

End of Watch Monday, December 23, 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.

To the Horan, GPD, and USCG families,

We have been praying for all of you since we received this tragic news of Officer Horan’s passing. Last night, we pulled out the empty chair at the head of our dining room table in honor of Michael, before we prayed. This is a difficult time and we are committed to continued intercessory prayer.

To Michael:
As a Fellow Coast Guardsman, may you now experience only fair winds and following seas in Heaven. Peace Be Still.

As a State Trooper and Fellow NC Law Officer, I assure you that we have the watch Sir.

May we all continue to honor you for the life that you lived. You will remain forever in our hearts.
