Agent Kearney,
On today, the 90th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but also when you served during WW I.

While no suspects were ever identified your assailants surely faced a much higher court and justice at a later time in a different place. Thank you for your service, both military and police, and please know that your sacrifice is one that will never be forgotten. Rest in peace always.

Prohibition Agent Kearney is the subject of a ten year research effort by authors B.Lee Charlton and Chuck Hornung (See Trail of Shadows: The Unsolved Murders of Prohibition Agents Dale Kearney & Ray Sutton. McFarland Publishing Inc.: North Carolina, 2019) Sutton was murdered near Raton NM (August 28, 1930) six weeks after Kearney's death by interrelated crime families. One of Dales's two daughters married a son of Prohibition Investigator Willard Ellsworth Lukens (1897-1983), an assigned responder to the Aguilar murder crime scene. Sutton had been working the Kearney case also before his own murder.

Thankyou all for your kind words about my Grandfather Dale Kearney. I never knew him but both my grandfathers were ATF agents and worked together in Colorado at the time. My mother's father died in the line of duty, a hero in my eyes. My fathers dad W. E. Lukens stayed on until he retired in the 50's . Thankyou so much for recognizing their service. may God bless you all.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 82nd anniversary year 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.

Special Agent Kearney, today marks the 78th anniversary of your murder while doing your job. You took on an unpopular law and no matter how you personally may have felt about it; it was the law and your job to enforce it. It’s sad that it cost you your life and took you from those who loved you. We can only hope that those responsible faced true justice for their crimes, if not in this life, then in the next. YOU are a hero, not only for your service with the ATF, but in WW1 as well.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
