View all 40 ReflectionsPete,
I stumbled upon this page as I was looking for information on your EOW. My name is Pete Cabrera. I am the son of Lourdes Millan, your first cousin. I was 7 years old when you passed away. I will never forget being at the hospital with the entire family. Or seeing your Mom in tears as she was given the news that you had succumbed to your injuries. Even at 7 years old, not really understanding, the memory was engrained into my mind.
Every time I see another brave Officer taken from us, I think of you. And today for some reason, I was driven to dig deeper and learn more about you. I know it’s difficult for our family to talk about, so I don’t ask. But I decided to search online, and it lead me here. Reading all these reflections about you makes me wish that I had a chance to know you better. You were clearly an incredible human being, as evidenced by how loved you were by so many. I am proud to say that I am related to you.
RIP
Pete Cabrera III
