Today we reflected on the 3rd Anniversary Of your passing at the unveiling of your memorial plaque at Peeler Park. I find comfort in knowing how much you were loved and I felt you there is spirit. You are missed greatly not only by your friends and family but by the community. Until we meet again my friend.

We lost another great officer this morning. I know you will welcome your fellow brother in blue with open arms. Just like you he was a hero. Just yesterday he saved a person in a overturned van and today his life is tragically taken. Ofc. Anderson is on his way with his wings. Miss you Eric. Continue to watch over the city you loved to much.

I think of him often, though I did not know him. I received that call before learning it was not in our jurisdiction. Upon learning what had occurred, I was heartbroken. I am sure he was not only a fine officer, but a fine man as well. He gave his all to the profession he chose to follow. Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for his friends John 15:13-17. May he rest in peace.

Your clipboard with your last activity sheet is still in your chair in Madison roll call. You had one line filled in on it... your flashlight sits there too. I think about you filling out that activity sheet not realizing you’d never finish it. Any shift could be our last and I see that reminder still in your seat every time I walk into roll call...

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Eric was killed trying to save the life of another..

To the Mumaw family, fellow officers, and all who call Eric 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. I hope that your family knows that a nation mourned for you.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Office Mumaw gave to his community and the citizens of Tennessee , and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 2, 2017.

I pray that everyone will find comfort in Revelation 21:4, where it says "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Until we can see all of our loved ones again in Paradise, please accept my condolences.

I went down to Peeler Park yesterday, there was a beautiful bouquet of flowers left for you and a card from a fellow officer. I know it’s hard for a lot of people to go down there because it’s the place where you lost your life. But I love that we can go down there and leave flowers at the cross I made for you. Your missed daily. Madison is not the same without you that’s for sure. Sending hugs to Heaven my friend.

Today is one year since your tragic passing. I know the world was a better place with you in it. And I'm sure today will be a very difficult day, as every day is, for those who loved you and called you family, friend, and co-worker. Your sacrifice is not forgotten. I know you're watching those you left behind and keeping them safe. Thank you for your service.
