Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Deputy Sheriff Egan,
I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the USMC. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Semper Fi Devil Dog!

Mike was a great friend and had a great singing voice. I'm positive he was a fantastic officer too.

Your heroism and service is honored today as we approach the 20th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service.

My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer. He was shot twice when ambushed on April 23rd when he was on a foot pursuit of two bank robbers, 16 years after you were killed.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Mike,

Although I know that you can't read this message, I have faith that you will know its content.

You were a seasoned vet when I started at Porterville P.D. but you made me feel welcome and accepted at the code-7 table that we sometimes shared with other TCSO, PPD and CHP officers. As I stood there with the rest of your grieving family of law enforcement officers, watching your body be returned to the earth, I knew that you would never again join us for a cup.

You are still missed!

As a young deputy with the Tulare County Sheriff’s Department I had the opportunity to get to know Mike Egan. Mike was the type of cop that didn’t allow bad guys to exist in his area. If he had information that someone was doing bad things in the county he would hound them until they moved on, or with his help off to prison. I admired his work ethics and believe that he inspired many of us to work just a little bit harder. Mike was truly a, “cop’s cop.” Mike was also a family man, if he wasn’t telling me about the last guy he arrested he was telling me about his family and you could hear the love and pride in his voice as he talked about them. Mike is missed.
