The public may never the things this officer had to go throw before his tragic and horrible death. The loss of Officer McGuinn is one that we should not forget. Just because we have taken bad people of the city streets does not mean they quit there often violent ways while locked up. May god be with his family and his fellow brothers and sisters. Stay safe and protect the gates of heaven my brother.

I don't know you, and live in a different state so never had a chance to meet you. But any person of your bravery and courage that is lost is a blow to the good people left on earth. I hope wherever you are you are at peace and that your family knows youre watching over them with love and care.

David,
Not a day goes by where I dont think of you. I remember seeing you two days before. When my mom told me the news I couldn't except it. Sometimes I still can't. I get so angry and upset at times but I know that's not what you want. Because of you I'm a better person. You are more than just a father and friend, your also my hero. I love you so much. I will never forget you and all you have done, not just for me but for everyone you came in contact with. Thank you. I'll see you again in the afterlife.

Ofc. McGuinn,

It has been almost 6 years since your passing, but the hurt still remains. Time can heal wounds but there is always a scar. I still get choked up everytime a group of new officers ask about the events surrounding your tragic death.

Strides are being made, slowly but surely, in ridding our prisons of the element that would compromise their fellow officer for personal gain. Continue to look down on us as we all pray for safety when our co-workers work those tiers, dorms, yards and other common areas.

It's not a glamorous job, it's not a job of rewards and many thanks, but it is a job that many cannot do. Once again, I applaud your example and strive to ensure that your life and death will not be in vain as so many of our colleagues also strive to do the same.

Continue to rest in peace and look over us as the battle still wages on.

My prayer and hope is that this never happens again. All of us who have worked behind the fence know how dangerous and stressful it is. The fact that most never respect us enough for the price we pay daily, this fine officer paid the ultimate price. May his family and friends be at peace and know he was a hero.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the fourth anniversary 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. I pray for the solace of all those who love and miss you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Rest In Peace.
