Though I never knew him, he was part of my Law Enforcement family and I will mourn this deep loss the rest of my life. My heart aches with all the losses we have suffered, and continue to suffer, through the years. God is our only peace through such incidents. May family & friends feel the presence of the "God of All Comfort" as they endure the distressing days ahead. I join them in their agonizing grief & remember them in my prayers.

Another senseless tragedy
Another day of grief,
Another day of praying
To help us find relief.

Relief from bitter anguish
Relief from rage so great,
Relief from lenient justice
Which continues to seal our fate.

Relief from heartache’s torment
As we continue on,
Oh, the awesome loss of brotherhood
Now that you are gone.

Though our hearts are deeply broken
And our tears forever flow,
There’s a comforting assurance
That now with God you go.

We know that you are welcome
Now at Heaven’s gate,
While meeting brothers & sisters
Who also met such fate.

The family of Law Enforcement
Knows no distance here or there,
And we recall in comfort
You await us there.

This is the first Police Week since you were taken from us. Our hearts are still heavy and we still think of you often. Tomorrow, we will march with our fellow brothers and sisters in blue, to honor you and the brothers that have gone before you.

Whenever I see a white car driving around Mililani, a part of me still hopes that I'll see you behind the wheel, smiling and waving at me. You will never be forgotten, my friend.

When I first heard the news, I ran to the window to check, I was reassured, my son was home and safe. But I also realized, that somewhere, another mother was hurting, and her son would not be coming home, not in that sense.

At your services, I studied the pictures, the video presentation. Every image, every video captured a wholesomely happy young man, from the hospital nursery, with your sister looking on, through the various stages of your life.

One thing was constant, in every one of those images, you were such a happy person. As I paid my respects I realized, you experienced a tremendous amount of joy in your life and it was reflected in every one of those images.

Though tragic, your loss may be, I wondered, how many people can truly reflect on such joy in their own lives, whether they lived twice as long or more. It is what we seek most and you found it, from day one. We hurt because we know the promise your future held.

It did not erase the pain, but it gave me peace, well done Garret, well done.

First and foremost god bless you Officer Garret Davis. It came to a huge blow when I found the news through a mutual friend. I knew him through his sister and I can't stress enough how special of a person he was.

Thank you for your service, and thank you for your kindness you will not be forgotten. May you rest in peace.

"Never forget what they did here. It is rather for us, the living, to be dedicated here to the great task remaining before us - that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain."

Your sacrifice and last full measure of devotion will not be forgotten. RIP Brother

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiance Dennis. Every time I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the officer they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Officer Davis. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. (The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. I can also be found on Face Book.) You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Garret he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Garret's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Garret's life was about so much more than the way he died. Garret will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Officer Davis, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiance Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been nine years and he's still very much missed and forever loved.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

Father God, bless this HERO Officers family with strength, peace, and comfort, that only YOU can provide. Bless the Department family as they cope with the loss. Be there, Lord, as they cry out to You in the midnight hour. Cause them to know that You are there and will never leave their side. I paise You and honor You, Lord, for hearing this prayer. In Jesus' Matchless Name, Amen.

Garret - You were taken too soon - before I got a chance to know you as well as your beat partnersknew you. Obviously, your time here was meant to be spent saving lives. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. You will always be remembered in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. You are a true hero and we were blessed to have been able to spend that short time with you. A hui hou, brother.
