Officer Down Memorial Page

what's so bad is that the obituary on this scum portrayed him to be an upstanding citizen, instead of reporting the truth that he was a no good cop killer that commited suicide.

Not a day goes by where I do not think of you my friend. Your friendship and dedication to your family and your chosen profession will truly be cherished. I tear up when I think of you no longer being with us, but I follow the tears with a smile when I think of seeing you again walking the streets of GLORY! Rest in peace my brother!

We honor your service to your community as a law enforcement officer and you will always be remembered and revered. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of our entire family, I wish to extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Deputy Mast was killed. May his loved ones continue to be supported by their law enforcement family and other police survivors. Our family grieves with you and for you. To his family, you are in my heart's embrace today.

My son was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005, and he too was awaiting the birth of his first child. There is such heartbreak in knowing that a child will be born without his father to guide him because of another person's evilness. I will keep your family in my prayers, and wish you many blessed days with the baby.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinguished service Deputy William Mast gave to his community and the citizens of my home state of North Carolina and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on July 26, 2012.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"

I remember when William was born, his folks so proud setting in church with him. I saw him grow and become a very bright, energetic and outstanding law enforcement officer. I'll miss him, but I'll miss that smile more than anything! Rest In Peace My Friend!

On Sunday, August 5, 2012, Deputy Mast's grandfather, on his father's side, also passed away. He had been ill. Please remember the families in your prayers, as they have lost 2 family members, in 1 1/2 weeks. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Terrible, I cannot say how much I respect law enforcement officers around the world who respond to domestics thousands of times a day, each one dangerous and possibly fatal. A young LEO going to an open line 911 call and this is the result?
Rest now Brother, we'll take it from here. God's speed

I know I don't know the family personally, but in every family we all hurt because of a loved one dying and it's never easy to understand. In a sense he is part of all our police families and he will be missed. Our sympathies and condolences be with Deputy Mast's Wife and family and friends...

We face all kinds of situations,
Not knowing what's in store,
But for those of us who believe in God,
He watches over us ever more;

We put our lives on the line,
No matter if it’s male or female,
We never know what to expect,
We just wait and exhale;

And when we do exhale,
And take time to pray,
It's then God strengthens us,
In each and every way.


Again, our sympathies go out to the family and friends.
