I was patrol captain the night Timmy was murdered. It hit everyone very hard as you can imagine. As patrol captain I got the call at home that night and I responded first to the scene but then over to the hospital. The hardest part by far was being in the ER while they worked on him and seeing the extent of injury to the head that he had suffered; it was quite literally crushed flat . I was amazed that he was still alive. He briefly opened his eyes but I doubt that he knew what was going on. It was bad but equally as bad was seeing his dad David, a retired firefighter, as he also came into the room to see Timmy. He took one look then our eyes met and we both shook our heads without saying a word; we both knew how terribly severe the injuries were and the Timmy would most likely not survive. He was a fighter though and hung on for 12 days before passing on. Of my 32 years in law enforcement this was by far the toughest experience. RIP Timmy.

Timmy,

Today, it has been 30 years since your left us. I remember sitting in your hospital room as you were in a coma. You stirred a bit, but as I gazed into your face, I could tell that you were at peace because you had the Lord in your heart. Of course, you're in a better place now.

I want to thank you for being such a great friend, business partner and LE partner. Our ride together had been cut short.

I know you are alive in our hearts and minds and we all cherish those tearful as well as fun moments!

Thanks for "Making a Difference!"

It's been 25 years since my best friend passed away. In such a short time we shared so many experiences together. Summer camp, summer jobs, double dates, camping trips, hunting, and finally six weeks spent traveling in Europe, a trip that I never would have thought possible without his encouragement. Our friendship is the standard by which I measure all other friends. We will see each other again dear friend.

As the anniversary of your death approaches, I have kept my promise. Your memory still resides within me and I still miss you. You were a true friend and great police officer. I think of you often wonder how things would have been had you finished your career.

Timmy my friend, you are still remembered and missed. 24 years and you still make me smile...

Sgt White, seems like just yesterday attending your service and feeling the love in the air. Yes, the minister's service was moving but for me your K-9 partner cuddled up with you at the grave site was equally eloquent if not more so.
With fond memories, especially of that demonstration of your precision driving skills (translation: wild ride along where we went code 3 from the Jail on Manthey Road NB on I5 to Pershing, NB on Pershing to Harding, EB on Harding to Pacific and NB to a 933211 near Pacific/Alpine) AND we were the first unit on scene.
We will meet again, and I will buy you that beer (remember when we first met...I wasn't a drinker. 27 years of dispatching later, my drinker status has changed).
God Bless you.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 20th 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

I pray for solace for all those who love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. I hope to one day meet your daughter and other family members at a NORCAL COPS meeting.
Rest In Peace

To Sgt. Tim White and his loved ones:

On this the nineteenth anniversary of your brutal murder and tragic death, please know that your memory is honored and revered today.

You rescued us, saved our lives and our families. You are one of the rare heroes among us. You were always there for us in the most traumatic moments of our lives. No matter when we called, we just expected that you would come and do whatever it took to help us, and you always met our expectations. Your selflessness and dedication in your thirty years of law enforcement are awe-inspiring.

This world, this country, your community truly are better places because of you. To have lost you is a great tragedy, an irreplaceable, immeasurable loss for society. We are grateful for and to you, and honor you for all you did for us day in and day out whether you received a word of thanks or praise.

Rest in Peace, Sgt. White. I am so humbled by your valor and courage. I am holding your family in my heart and prayer today (especially Missy and her brother).

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Tim gave to his community and the citizens of California, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 4, 1990.

According to your profile, you started police work when you were 20. Wow!
That's young! You accomplished alot in those years and I am sorry your
career ended so tragically. Sometimes you get the bad guys and sometimes
they get you. Thanks for your service!

No fellow California law enforcement personnel killed in the line-of-duty, should be forgotten.

The idea that onlookers just watched and never rendered assistance still irks me.

Sergeant White, may Your Soul Rest-In-Peace.
