Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 15th 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace

Today I was doing some research on Texas executions and I read of your brutal murder. Your memory is honored and revered and we thank you for your service to your community. Life may move on but the hurt of losing a beloved family member or friend never goes away...pain and pride are forever. I pray for solace for your loved ones.

My cherished son, Larry Lasater, was murdered while serving as a Pittsburg, California PD officer on April 24, 2005. California has a much longer average stay on death row, thus I do not think it is likely I will live long enough to witness the execution of my son's murderer. I know that some other family member or friend will be there for that part of our journey.

The San Antonio Police Dept. should be commended for their support of your family on the execution date. God bless Fabian, his family, and his law enforcment family.

"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.

My Brother Fabian,

It's been almost 12 long years. As I stand with the wind cutting through my heart and soul, I see you there in my memory...my shattered memory.

I have waited for a voice...I wait for comfort...I wait for answers, but I am alone and no one answers.

I feel your pain. I will forever feel your loss.

I have wept in my restless sleep. I have walked with you in my dreams. I have begged for another chance...another chance for you.

I cannot erase this tragedy. I only hide my anger and frustrations. I am lost...I am truly lost.

As I search my mind for answers. I meet with resistance and feel this great loss.

As I kneel beside your stone and watch the wind silently sway the trees, I see you standing there...in the distance.

I feel the cloth of honor against my chest as I hold back emotions, no one else could ever understand...only the Blue.

I have shed a million tears, within. I have crumbled within. A part of me died that day.

I hold onto my breath as I look upward for hope...I reach out for understanding, but after so many years, I still cannot understand.

As the gunfire echoed into the clouds and the wind blew across my brow, as the taps have filtered through my mind over and over again, as the last word was spoken, the pipes faded distant and the Chief retired your badge...a part of me walked away with you that day my brother.

I pray that you have found peace above. I pray you have found comfort from your struggle. I pray you have found eternal rest in the arms of our Savior.

Above all else, please know Fabian, he will soon no longer assail you...he will forever walk alone in darkness.

One day I will see you again and we will hold our heads high. Until then I have built a place for you deep within my soul and there your memory will burn eternal.

In your memory and with great honor,
"Nemo Me Impune Lacessit"

Your Brother,
Al Ballew

A great loss to the world. I was just a dumb kid when I met him. He was working west patrol and me security at a club in his district. I was always needing help from him to keep some guy from beating the heck out of me. He talked me into joining the Police Department. He is the reason I am doing this job.

Words can not express how much you are missed. I think about you often. I can't believe it has been 11 years since you left us. I still remember watching the movie Ghost for the first time with you and Jennifer and my parents. I also remember how much I cried at the movie and how silly I felt. I will never forget the day that you came to our house and told us you were going to be an officer with SAPD. You were so excited and we were just as happy for you. You are deeply missed.
Love always, Misti
