I met this officer about 3 weeks to a month before his death, standing outside my house. I remember feeling impressed to speak to him about where he would spend eternity. I had NO idea that he would be dead almost exacally a month later...When i learned of his death it shook me to the core. I was devastated. I couldn't believe it!!! I just hope that he made peace with Jesus Christ...I remember telling him the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ...I think about him often.
