Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

In the line of duty, a hero brave,
A policeman falls, his life he gave.
With courage unyielding, he stood tall,
Answering the call, to protect us all.

Through danger's path, he walked with grace,
His sacrifice, a noble embrace.
His badge a symbol, honor's crest,
In service bound, he did his best.

In darkness' shadow, he held the light,
With selfless valor, he fought the fight.
Protecting strangers, like family dear,
His memory we'll forever hold near.

In tears we mourn, yet pride will stay,
For the price he paid, we cannot repay.
Though he's gone, his legacy remains,
In our hearts, his bravery sustains.

A guardian's spirit, never to fade,
A hero's memory, forever displayed.
In the line of duty, he gave his all,
In our thoughts and hearts, his name will call.

Love you Dad, you will ALWAYS be my Hero.

I was with the Yorktown Police Department for about 8 months. I learned about Officer Mullins a few weeks before our department closed for good. Myself and my peers did not know this story, but learned as much as we could and got with Chief Nobles (ret) to get some first hand knowledge. We will be remembering this Officer in our prayers and on Tue 5/15/18 for the Peace Officers Memorial Day.

Dear Dad,
2017 has passed and we miss you so much. You have and will always be a big part of our lives. Michelle, Tutti, and Billy along with all the grandkids and great grandkids. We talk about you all the time and what you sacrificed. I come here to see the nice things folks write and leave for you. People that you had some type of influence on all those years ago. I celebrated 30 years with Home Depot and still work in the Loss Prevention Dept. You take care and know we love you.

Love, Michael

Hey Red, Tim Boldt here (son of Gary Boldt, your partner at the time of your death here in Yorktown) I want to take this time to thank you for your service and sacrifice! I was 3 months shy of 5yrs old when the unthinkable happened! I still remember the day when mom got the call and how everyone was in utter shock! Mom yelling at us in German to get in the car where we made it as far as the baseball field off of HWY 119 where the incident occurred. Shock was among all those that were around and knew You! And for us kids, we really didn't understand what was going on nor were we told at that time. We eventually found out and always wondered why, why did this happen to RED? I still to this day remember the time you were on patrol and we would meet you in town with dad and how you would play with us and had so much fun. We would go to the Borth's filling station where you bought us sodas & chips at the machines in front of station late at night! Now that dad has passed on, you two have been catching up and raising hell! May you rest in peace!

Dear Dad, we miss you. While I still work for Home Depot, I now work in Loss Prevention. I get to stop the bad guys and work with local law enforcement. I hate that your name is on here. I'm 54 now, you were killed when you were 35. You were a kid, when I look at it this way. Your family is growing with great-grandchildren. I know you would be building them a tree house that you could live in. That's how you were. I will see you again. Love, your son Michael

Rest In Peace Patrol Officer William Riley (Red) Mullins Jr.. Thank You for your Service and Sacrifice protecting the citizens of Yorktown, Texas.

I Pray for Peace for your Family, Friends and Co-Workers. I also Pray that the hounds of hell forever gnaw on the sorry soul of your murderer! May he never receive pardon or parole. May he know no peace on this earth or in the afterlife. May he burn in hell.

Amen.

I Worked With Officer William Riley "RED"Mullins at the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Department In Richmond,Texas Prior To Him Leaving There To Go To Work For The Yorktown Polce Department. Red Mullins Handled Himself Very Professionally All The Time And He Faced Danger Without Hesitating To Think About Himself While He Was Helping Others. Red Was A Veteran Officer Who Taught Myself And Some Of The Other Younger Officers How To Be A Decent Police Officer At All Times. Fear Didn't Cost Red Mullins His Lfe. His Courage To Never Back Down From Any Danger To Help Another Person Is What Cost Him His Life.Red Always Had A Joke For You To Cheer You Up If You Were Down And Out. Red Would Always Be There For Anyone Esecially A Fellow Officer And He Would Have Laid His Own Life Down To Save The Life Of Another Officer Or A Citizen. Red Mullins Would Have Given Anything He Had To Help Anyone,Including Giving The Shirt Off f His Back If That Person Needed Or The Last Money He Had If It Meant To Help Anyone Buy Food For Their Family Or Theirself. I Attended The Funeral For Red And I Wept Openly Because In My Eyes I Had Just Lost One Of My Best Friends' Whom I Want Get To See Again Until We Meet In Heaven Someday.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 37th 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

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Thanks to your family for sharing their devotion to you through their reflections.

I can't believe it's been 36 yrs. It seems like only yesterday that you were here. I ofter wonder what life would have been like with you here. I don't think there's a day that's gone by without thinking about you. Today your great-granddaughter came home from the hospital, she was born on the 9th. You have 2 great-granddaughters now and a new great grandson, you would be so proud. Family is the best and ours is a strong one. We love you and miss you dearly.

Not a year goes by that I don't stop and think of you. Not a month goes by that I don't stop and think of you. Not a week goes by that I don't stop and think of you. Not a day goes by that I don't stop and think of you. Not a hour goes by that I don't stop and think of you. I spend so much time with your grandson Brandon, it reminds me of our time together. It was short,but I remember all of it. We've lost so many of your family,I know you have company now with your brothers,Ray and Buddy. Keep Howard inline up there,and give Granny and Grandpa a hug. We love you and will always do like you taught us and do the right thing.
I just want you to know,the three promises I made to you. Not to smoke cigerettes.Not to do drugs of any kind,and No tatoos. I've kept two of them. I got a tattoo in merorial of you. Your Granddaughter desinged it for me. It's so hard to write this and not cry,but I miss and love you.

Love Michael

Officer Mullins I feel privilege to have shared the job with such a brave man and hopefully with the time I served I held up the tradition of being a good law officer you set, but also from the words your son left for my future son in law Josh Norris. I hope I was also a good parent and instilled in my children the great qualities which your son has shown to extended his heart to those that have lost a love one also. I

Mr Mullins
Thank you for the words for my boy Josh it means a great deal to me when I see new posting. Your posting has touch my heart and I'm sorry for your lost. Your Dad sounds like a great man and I sincerely hope I held up the standard that your Dad provided for all of us that came after him.
