Officer Down Memorial Page

Thank you.
I know that those words hold little weight in contrast with the ache of loss but I just wanna thank you and your family for your service and sacrifice to make this world this town a better place for everyone in it even if it did happen before my birth, thank you.
I'm so disappointed that in our community your some what unsung be it out of our own humiliation or foolish pride I'm sorry that more Ogden residents don't know your story. Thank you so much Sgt. White.

WOW ...... a Det Sgt 1963 Utah, A African American. You SIR are a goal for us all. You set the standard back in the day that the only color is BLUE. I know your at our makers side smiling that it's not our color that makes a good cop but the contents of our hearts.
God bless and keep you close.

Sir , i never met you and your death was before my birth.......you served during a time when there were many in our country who cared very little for you because of the color of your skin and then there were others that cared little for you for the profession you chose.......i thank you sir for your service to protect our country and to protect the community of ogden city , but more importantly i thank you for sharing the thin blue line with me . your courage and strong desire to protect and serve is what make you great , continued rest sir........

Brother White,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue

Your face is the face of my father. It graces the walls of my home. Your tragic death is a neverending source of sadness. A question that is left unanswered. It is an honor to be your granddaughter. I only wish I had been able to sit on your knee, and kiss your cheeks, and see for myself what it is to know you, a hero in the flesh. Still...I have loved your face, and imagined that you loved mine...Veronica

Tell someone you love them, while there’s daylight and sunshine
We can never capture moments that loneliness leaves behind.
Shattered pictures, broken glass are like words left unspoken
But, a heart that feels one’s love is like a promise never broken.

~~~Eternally and Always~~~

I didn't get to say goodbye
You're gone without a reason why
I've loved you all of my life
and then you weren't there

I didn't get a chance to say
how much I cared
I can't even remember the tears
that I cried
All I really wanted was to tell you
Goodbye

When I last saw you I felt I wouldn't
see you again
There was a distance between us
that I couldn't explain
You wouldn't look
at me but I could see the tears
in your eyes
If you knew then
You should have told me
Then I could have said
Goodbye

So many words left unspoken
So many hearts left so broken
My love for you is forever
And that will never die
We'll be together always
Our souls are one with God
Eternally and Always
I'll never have to say
Goodbye

~~~When Tomorrow Starts Without Me~~~

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, try to understand, that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready in Heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all my life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for and so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things I'd miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne, He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you. Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free, so won't you take my hand and share my life with me?" So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right there in your heart.

On the anniversary of your death, I salute you for your service and honor you for your sacrifice.

A hero never dies....

Rest in peace, hero.

Blessed are the Peacemakers. I am honored to be in a profession with so many brave men and women like SGT. White. I didn't know him, however, the story of his death tells me the kind of person that he was. What a shame it is that a man of his caliber would be killed in this way. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice.
