Sacrifice does not distinguish between full time or part-time, and never differentiates between the experienced or inexperienced. You entered a life of service to others and were taken from us too soon.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray Psalm 91 over all LEO’s and this prayer also:

“Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

I have lifted your family to God every morning for over six years. I pray that Nathan's life and death will bring glory to His name.

Trust those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.

Doesn't seem real. We spoke with you and your partner as you rode up river past our camp. only a couple hours later we were assisting first responders from the river to the ambulances on our road. I had a lump in my throat then and still do especially as we heard the heartbreaking news. You won't be forgotten and our flag at camp will be at half mast all summer in your honor.
