Mark used to work out with us after evening watch at Lansing. He was a good friend and coworker. I was working the night he died. He is gone but not forgotten.

This man was my father and was taken from us way too soon. I was 16. We got the call on his mothers birthday. My children will never meet him and a day doesn’t pass that I don’t think about him.

After retiring from LEO in Califoriia I moved to KS and was working at Lansing on that date as a Unit Team CCI. I remember it well and your sacrifice will never be forgotten. It is a loss like this that makes one think perhaps torture should be inclulded into the penal system! They Took the balls from the pool table and put them into a sock and used the barbell weights, all recreation material, to savagely beat this man to death. And now they peacefully enjoy TV and basketball,etc. This is JUSTICE?
Rest in Peace Avery, Your honor lives on forever.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 19th 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 line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

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

Rest In Peace.
