I saw the video of Nick Lee where his personality displayed the proud Korean heritage and professional demeanor of an LAPD officer. He touched many lives in the law enforcement community and beyond for years to come. RIP.

It was night time when we were instructed to get closer to the memorial wall at the Biscailuz Academy so that we can observe a name to reflect on. From my vantage point, the first name I could make out due to the light fixture was yours. It was a surreal feeling since I knew immediately you were Korean American just like me.

As someone who came from a Korean American background and is aspiring to become a peace officer like you, I truly want to thank you for your service and offer my sincerest condolences to you and your family. When times get tough I will remember you along with the numerous brothers and sisters you are memorialized with at Biscailuz Academy. Again, thank you for your service .

I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

Nick was always the one Officer that everyone could count on. I remember Nick always asking to help detectives with their investigations and their search warrant activities. Nick was the very best that every Officer should strive to become. His loss was a great loss to his friends and to the entire city of Los Angeles. On October 9, 2015, there will be a memorial service at Hollywood station for the 8 Hollywood Officers killed in the line of duty. It will be an honor for me to remember and honor Nick on that date. May His name be eternal

My Fiancé spoke highly of Nick and his death still heavy on my heart. I didn't know him personally but as my fiancé's partner, Nick was family. We think of him often and pray for his wife and kids.

Officer Lee was taken in such a tragic accident, now only two months later, we lose a veteran Detective in the same spot, in the same exact way. Unbelievable. This Detective was off duty at the time, but he deserves a prayer. Detective Ernest Allen and Officer Lee together in heaven watching over us. God bless our department. We are hurting right now. Five total officers lost in three months time. Please no more!

He went to work that day and did not know
This shift he served would bring such sorrow
This call to duty would be his last
His time on earth is now his past
God set this day as his time to go
Rest in peace Officer Lee, now a hero
He gave the ultimate sacrifice
With integrity and pride he paid the price
His family, friends and colleagues will mourn
As an angel in heaven he is now reborn
His golden heart stopped beating
Hardworking hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the very best.

LAPD Officer Nicholas Lee,

First my God bless your soul and may you rest in peace. I pray for your family and friends as they can only look to God for healing this great void in their lives.
Matthew 21:22-"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."

As a young Asian boy growing up in Los Angeles, I looked up to the LAPD and its Officers in black uniforms. Keeping the peace with dedication to service with honor. Although I did not know you personally you are my brother in Christ Jesus. Rest in Peace till we meet in heaven. God Bless.

Nick I attended the dedication of your star at Hollywood yesterday. It seemed so surreal. My heart aches for your family and the pain they are going through.
Your Hollywood family will never forget you. You are one of kind! And you left your mark on so many people.
I know that you would be shaking your head at all the attention given to you because you didn't do things for recognition, it was just who you were. I will always hear your fave lines in my head, so many. : ).
Thank you for the laughs and great advice. Forever in my heart. Godspeed Nick!

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Nic was killed.

To the Lee family, fellow officers, and all who call Nic beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

Nic, I have friends that worked with you and cared for you as their brother, and I know that your loss is immeasurable. I was able to glimpse the kind of man you were in the video made to lift the spirits of a child suffering from cancer, and that image of you remains in my heart.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Officer Lee gave to his community and the citizens of California, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on March 7, 2014.
