Abel, yesterday was 2 years since you were taken from us. I can feel you in our lives everyday. Alex and Marisa had a blast at COPS kids camp last week. You would be so proud to see how awesome they turning out to be. Julian is just like you. He spent the least amount of time with you but he does so many things that you did. We all miss you and love you so much. I just hope that your proud of me and what I've been able to accomplish. Love you Babe!

You were taken too soon and it all seems unfair,
but the Lord needed a special angel and called you to be there,
You will never be forgotten, as many of us still,
remember your love for your family, friends and those you served was always very clear.
Your loving family are survivors with hearts of gold, loving caring people who are stronger than they even know.

God Bless you Deputy Escalante, your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

I'm new to this ODMP website but I want to offer my condolences to those who worked with him or those who were really close. It never matters where we are located we all do the same job which is to protect and serve our communities. It affects everyone within the law enforcement when another officer pays the ultimate sacrafice with his life. You will always be remembered by family, friends, co-workers, and everyone here at ODMP.

To Deputy Juan Escalante, to all family members and friends who call him beloved, and to his law enforcement family:

I was heartbroken to learn of Juan's death and extend my sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you have suffered. Words are insufficient to describe the sadness I feel for the Escalante family. May you find comfort in your faith and the support of the law enforcement community.

There are many police survivors who share this same journey with you, and that community will be there to support you. Juan's memory will be forever honored and revered.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Juan gave to his community and the citizens of California and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on August 2, 2008.
