Officer Down Memorial Page

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 98th 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never dimishes respect, not even 98 years.

Rest In Peace

No one should take the law into their own hands, but I find it difficult to feel any remorse over the death of Detective Everson's murderers. He died as a result of doing his job and attempting to stop a fight which might well have caused injury to one of those involved. What did their fight gain? Nothing but pain and death.

Detective Everson, it's been 96 years since your tragic demise and I'm glad your sacrifice is now recognized on this fine web site. You are a hero.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
