A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the United States Marshals Service. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

I had the privilege to work with Pat a few times and we attended some training together over the years. He was a good man. And he was still making a difference late in his career, risking his life to fight evil. An example to us all. As the great Pat Rogers used to say, "Today, we are diminished".

Sad and angry today for the loss of one of my fellow brothers who was killed in the line of duty today in GA. I didn't personally know Deputy Commander Carothers, but we are family and share an unbreakable bond that few on this earth will ever understand. I pray for him, his wife, their five kids, his extended family and friends, our Agency and all the men and women in law enforcement. "May the Lord bless you and keep you, may the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you, may the Lord look upon you with favor, and grant you peace" Numbers 6:24-26

Dear Patrick:

No words of mine or anyone else, can ever remove the hurt, sadness, pain and loneliness your family has to now endure because of cowardly scum. But thankfully, he will never be able to hurt anyone again, “For the candle of the wicked shall be put out forever”. My words, or anyone else, can bring you back. But my words can, and will be heard by you, (in a better place), your family, our fellow brothers in blue, and the rest of the caring public. This life we have all grown to accept and take for granted, would cease to exist if it were not for you and 20,000 other fallen law enforcement officers. Thank you for keeping alive and guarding the basic freedoms our Founding Fathers gave us through their sacrifice, by your sacrifice.

As we enter the holiday season, and Thanksgiving but a few days away, we Americans have so much more to be thankful for…because of you and all law enforcement. But the thought of your family looking at an empty chair at the Thanksgiving dinner table, brings tears to my eyes, and should for every American. Your family’s sacrifice is one that NO LAW ENFORCEMENT FAMILY SHOULD EVER HAVE TO EXPERIENCE. To them I say God Bless you.

During my tenure in law enforcement, I too, have been involved in a shooting, and I ask Father God every time there is an officer shot, why was I spared? I know its part of His great plan, but one, at this time, isn’t easy to understand. Godspeed, Patrick, and as you patrol the streets of Heaven, look down on us and know you are an American hero who gave his life that others shall know peace, happiness and tranquility. Before he passed away, my late Dad gave me these words upon my graduation from the Police Academy, a long time ago, and I treasure these words which I now give to you: “Above all else, honor”.

Avenue of the Fallen

Standing at attention in their class “A“uniforms, badges gleaming and shoes like glass, are your brothers and sisters of Law Enforcement. All of whom have previously paid the ultimate price.
Today, like many others, they welcome you to this wonderful place.
As you march down the Avenue of the Fallen, all eyes focus on you as if to say “it’s OK, you’re with your eternal partners.”
A salute is followed and a tear can be seen on so many faces.
Welcome, you served well.
Now come join us in the ranks, another is coming home.

I worked with Pat at Cherokee Co. Sheriffs Dept, Ga. before he left to go to USMS. You couldn't ask for a better friend and deputy. He would always have your back. Well now we have your back. You will be missed brother. I am in total shock! God bless your wife and children. RIP!

Rest in Peace and my prayers are going out to your family. I know my prayers don't bring you back, but hopefully they help everyone find their way without you. I won't thank you for giving your life to make this a better world for the rest of us. Giving a life was never what any of us wanted. Bless you and bless those left behind. The world is a better place due to your years of serving. Hugs-
