On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Captain Neville Colburn and the extended law enforcement family of the of the Honolulu Police Department. Rest in Peace brother and watch over us.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper

IN MEMORY OF CAPTAIN NEVILLE S.K. COLBURN

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Captain Neville S.K. Colburn:

From the beginning of time after Cain killed his brother, Abel, there has been a need for law enforcement officers to protect the weak and to bring evildoers to justice. This work is necessary in a sinful world and is dangerous. In modern times, some forty-seven police officers have sacrificed their lives to protect the citizens of Honolulu, Hawaii. Today, we honor the sacrifice of Captain Neville S.K. Colburn, of the Honolulu, Hawaii, Police Department; who suffered a fatal heart attack, in the line-of-duty, on Monday, February 13, 2015, while jogging on the track at the Honolulu Police Training Academy, located in Waipahu, Hawaii, while participating in his department’s physical fitness program. He was the Commander of the Honolulu, Hawaii, Police Department’s Training Academy at the time of his demise.

Lord God, we are grateful for the life of Captain Neville S.K. Colburn. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of Captain Neville S.K. Colburn and honor his sacrifice. Be with the family, friends, and colleagues of this fallen hero. Comfort them and give them your strength. Guide those who seek to take care of the family of this hero. May those empowered to do so, care for them with integrity. In commemorating the death of this hero, help those who mourn to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition to the glorious life to come. They should look forward to that life to come with joy and thanksgiving.

As for the citizens of Honolulu, Hawaii, help them to faithfully equip their police officers with the best tools to protect their community. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of Honolulu, Hawaii, to remember to pay their police officers fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of Honolulu, Hawaii, to obey the law and treat each other with dignity so as not to add to the burden of crime and pain to their community.

The time for mourning will soon pass. We have now remembered and celebrated the life lost in this great tragedy. As the family, friends, and colleagues of Captain Neville S.K. Colburn go forward, they must celebrate the good things in their lives; and to celebrate life itself!

Finally, Lord God, we pray for the families, friends, and colleagues of all the law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line-of-duty and we thank you for their sacrifices. Bless the lives of their families, friends, and colleagues so they might find healing. Help their law enforcement organizations support the families of these fallen heroes. Even though their deaths might have been senseless, make something good come out of these situations so that their law enforcement organizations and the communities in which they lived and served might be stronger because of their lives and their deaths.

Now, Captain Neville S.K. Colburn, may the Lord bless you, and keep you: the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. Amen.

In His Service,
