Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Wow Mark, another anniversary has come and gone... 11 years ago you were taken from me and it still feels like yesterday. All of our hopes, plans and dreams ended that friday afternoon. Our kids are getting so big, Matthew is 15 and Whitney is 10, if only you had a chance to meet our Whitty. You would be having a ball right now coaching her softball team, though our little pitcher is on the DL with a broken arm. Our time together was so brief, only 15 years, you are missed so much. I love you now and always.

Your wife and best friend,
Liz

Mark,

I miss the time that you allowed me to share with your family as if they were my own. (The years of Sunday brunch at El Zarape.) I wish you had the opportunity to meet my family and husband. You and Tom would have been the best of friends. Our twin boys would have adored you too! What blessings they are!! I will never forget your birthday since the twins will forever share their birthday with you.

I feel honored and blessed to have called you my friend for the short 15 years we had.

I miss you my dear friend!

To the family and friends of Officer Mark White and the Roseville Police Department and most especially to Officer Mark White:

It has been ten years since your death, but you are not forgotten. Your valor will be forever remembered and honored. How very sad that you had to die at such a young age, and under such tragic circumstances.

It must have been a terrible blow to your department to have to undergo a line of duty death by accidental gunfire. I hope and pray that all the involved officers have healed and forgiven themselves, although I know that was a life changing event and the memory will always be there.

You must have had a very special loving relationship with your wife because you can tell from her postings that you are with her every day and greatly missed by your family.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service you gave to the community and the citizens of California, and for the supreme sacrifice you and your family made on February 10, 1995 in the line of duty.
Rest In Peace.

No one can explain why tragic events such as this happen, but be assured, you are a hero to us all and you will never be forgotten.

To Officer White's wife and family; I've obviously never met you or your family and can't imagine the pain you have been through. As a Police Officer I can imagine the effect it has had on all involved as we always know in the back of our mind what 'can' happen and learn to live with that fact. This, however, sounds horribly tragic even beyond what we, as a Police Officers, learn to expect. I, personally, will remember the way he died and not let it be in vain as I will continue to be vigilant even in somewhat comfortable surroundings such as our department headquarters. As a profession that is sometimes all we can do to honor those who have fallen before us and for us. To always learn and never forget.

For what it's worth, I do know that He has taken Mark and given him a special assignment in heaven. I am sure Mark is with you as you go throughout each and every day. I can't imagine that he would do anything but love both his children. I'm sure he is proud of both you and them. He is with you everyday and your comittment to write and post updates brings tears to my eyes. My wife and I have 2 children ourselves and we will say a special prayer tonight for you and your children. May God be with you all until you are reunited again.

10 years ago today you left us. I can't tell you how much I miss your smile, your voice, your touch... God, I MISS YOU!!!! It is still so hard. I love you. I can't wait to see you again.

In a week it will have been 10 years ago you were lost. Please know we still think of you at Sutter Co. S.O., and still mention you. I can still remember how I felt back then. Time may fly, but it doesn't change a thing. You are still missed.

"THE FINAL INSPECTION"

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell

Officer White, your sacrafice will not be forgotten. You have paid the ultimate price for everyone you cared about. God Bless you and your family. You and your family will be in my prayers.

In loving memory of P.O. Mark White:
After all these years you are still
missed. Thank you for your service
and ultimate sacrifice. What a
tragedy, how very unfortunate for all
involved. Much love to your wife, your
children and all the survivors who
still grieve this tremendous loss.

What a terrible tragedy this was for everyone involved. Someday you will meet your little princess in heaven as well as the rest of your family. I also pray for the other officers involved in this shooting. You will never be forgotten Officer White. Rest in peace sir.

Mark,

The nineth anniversary of your death has just passed, it is STILL SO HARD TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU! I know you are still with me and the kids. I hope you are happy with the choices I've made for them and me, they haven't been easy. Matthew is now 13 and quite the handful. Whitney is now 8 (the daughter you never met) and she is exactly what you/we had hoped for, very athletic but still a little princess. I can't help but think about what our lives would have been like. This March 1st we would have been married 18 years.

My love for you will NEVER fade, you were MY high school sweetheart, MY first love, MY Honey Bunny .

Rest in Peace Bunny

Mark is indeed missed to this day. Mark was a good deputy when he worked for Sutter County prior to his move to Roseville PD. Mark was colorful and memorable.

You see police funeral processions on the news, and cannot believe how long they are. Mark's was exceptional. Seeing police officers from as far as Los Angeles showed how large an effect his death had on the profession. 1995 was one of the worst years for officer fatalities. There was a 7 mile procession for Mark. There was no standing room in the church left. There were countless uniformed officers lined up in formation in the parking lot.

I still see Mark's parents from time to time. Sweetest people I know. I haven't seen Mark's brother, also in law enforcement, in some years since, but he is also the kind of man you would want to serve with.

I hope that the brother officers involved in the fateful incident have come to some peace following it. It was a terrible accident.

At the beginning of every shift I supervise, myself and the other officers on shift dedicate the day to the memory of a fallen officer. Today, February 10, 2003 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Officer Mark White, Roseville PD, who died on this date in 1995.

When one law enforcement officer falls, we all stumble for a while, but we will carry on.

Officer White's sacrifice will never be forgotten
