RIP Deputy Galloway.

As a reserve deputy in Michigan, I thank you for your selfless service to your community. Some say reserve cops aren't real cops, your death shows otherwise.

While God is no respector of persons, I have to think He has a special place in Heaven for people like you sir.

Prayers go out to your family, friends and department. You will be missed.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Deputy Galloway and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever. Today, because of the sacrifice Deputy Galloway has made, the house of freedom is stronger, sturdier, and more secure.

To the family and friends of Deputy Galloway, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to move on. Just as you were always with him when he walked the beat or patrolled the streets, know that he will always be with you - wherever you may be. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Deputy Galloway is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

I AM A WARRIOR
by Jon F. Hooper

I fight not for glory or fame,
For they are momentary.
I fight for those who can't.
I fight for Justice.
I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden.
And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets,
For I serve to protect the innocent.
It matters not where or when,
For evil knows no boundaries.
Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny,
I will not flee.
Justice is my weapon.
Faith is my shield.
Hope is my armor.
Cry not at my passing,
For it was my Honor to fight for you.
Shed not tears of sorrow,
But tears of joy,
For now,
I stand with God.
---------------------------------
Rest in peace my Brother, and Thank you for your service. May God bless you, your family, friends and the members of the Holmes County Sheriff's Office.
