My Big Serg, you are always on my mind. We miss you so much. Lil Serg is growing up so fast. He is so smart like you always told me he was. He is learning so much. Everday he talks about you to his teacher and to his friends. Izabella is so smart as well. She talks like a little grown-up. She too is learning alot. Whenever sergio is doing homework she is there as well wanting to do what he does. Our kids are gonna grow up to be something special in life. You always knew that, and I cant wait till that day comes when they make you proud. I know you are watching down on them with a big smile on your face. We miss you so much. You are forever in our thoughts and prayers. Love you, my one and only, Big Serg

Sergio,
The kids and I just left the cemetary. Today I felt the genuine sincerity from some people that were there. I thank them for that. We have come along way these past 2 years. Everyday is a struggle but we manage to get through it with the help and support of all the people that love us and truly care for us. Its not easy and some days I dont even feel like getting out of bed but then I look at Sergio and Izabella and know that I have to because I know that they need me to give them the love and support that you would have given them. They too have come a long way. They miss you more and more each day. There are days that are harder to get through but I know that I am able to get through it if I just take it a day at a time. I know that you are constantly watching over us despite what some people think. We are living the life you would have wanted us to live if you were alive and with us today. You have left us with memories that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. I will never forget our nightly barbeques It was so cold outside and the kids were out side with beanies and snow jackets. They never wanted to leave your side even when it was snowing outside. You were such a great person, a great husband and an excellent father, and no one will ever be able to take that from you. Thank you for your constant love and support from up above. Until we meet again. I will love you till the end.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the second anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace.

To your family: I understand the meaning of lives forever altered and know that when you lose someone so precious to you that the pain never goes away...the pain and the pride is forever. I pray for your solace.

As I'm sure you know, I'm keeping up the fight in Orange County for you. Talk to you soon.

everyday that passes we miss you more & more. It's going to be 2 yrs since you've been gone & it felt like I would never be able to lift my head up, but i've had tons of time to think & remember the type of person you were & how big your heart was & that has honestly helped me get through. you are my hero, my inspiration in everything I do.you have a heart of gold & you are a very very special person & i truly believe you are a special angel of god :)
only your family will understand & really know the pain & suffer we have & are still going through, it just pains me to see people lie about how they are living life without you. like i said before YOU KNOW, YOU ARE WATCHING OVER ALL OF US, YOUR WIFE, YOUR KIDS, everyone & you know what's really going on.
i love you big brother & i miss you.

I miss you so much right now. I wish I could hold you and tell you how much you meant to me, how much I loved you and still do. I would give anything to have you back here with us. I need you so much right now. I need reassurance that everything is going to be okay. I need you. I love you.

I dont even know where to start. Izabella turned 3 on August 19th. Another birthday without you. I wish you could be here today to see what a beautiful girl she is turning into. She is so smart and looks more like you everyday. She asks for you and tells me that she misses you everyday. Her time with you was so short. She remembers you and tells everybody about you.
Sergio started school on wednesday and he is loving it. I thought he was going to have a hard time with it and the first day he did so well. He gave me a kiss and waived goodbye and went and got in line with the rest of his classmates. He tells everyone about how much fun he is having. He talks about u all the time at school. He tells his teacher that his daddy was a police officer and that he died at work but he is an angel in heaven now. He misses you terribly. We all do. Nothing will ever be the same again. Sometimes at night I find myself still waiting for your phone call. I miss you so much. Time is passing by so fast. In 2 months it will be 2 years since you left us. The memories will never go away. I will cherish u and the time we had for the rest of my life. My love for you will never change. Please continue to watch over us and keep us safe. Love you,

LOUISE

What’s up Big Serg!!!
I'm sitting here at work thinking about you. I’ve been reflecting on all those BBQ’s at your house with your family. I wish we could go back to the days where me, you Ernesto and Octavio were in the backyard just going at it with each other. I can still hear your infamous DDDDDUUUUUDDDDDEEEEE…..to whoever decided to try and make a joke at your expense. I remember leaving your house with my cheeks hurting from all the laughing. Those were good times and I miss them. I can’t wait to see you again. I love and miss you with everyday that passes.

I only know you from the wonderful words spoken through your loving parents. I understand you were the most loving son; always with a smile, a kind word and help for others. You know God only takes the best. Just know that I am here watching out for your parents. Their love for you is still as strong as when you were living and each day that passes, they miss you even more. I often tell your mother to dry her tears, but I guess until you've lost your one and only son, you can't feel the pain she does every day. Your father is still working as hard as he was when you were living; but I think a lot of what he does now is to keep his mind off missing you. Your were a very lucky son to have parents that loved you so dearly. No wonder you were such a great person; the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. In loving memory...Rest in peace.....

mariano just reminded me of the time we went to B2V & you were driving the motorhome in this neverending ride to the race, then you got so frustrated that we werent there yet so you pulled over & asked this old man in truck for directions......well as you were driving this enormous motorhome towards the truck, you STRAIGHT OUT HIT HIS DRIVER MIRROR & BROKE IT OFF! LOL! you just keept saying "oh shyt" & you told him that you were sorry but you still asked for directions lol.....we drove away & youe said "he had a f'd up ride anyway"
your the best big brother & i will never forget the memories, your smile, your walk, your talk & especially that crazy ass laugh that is contagious!

I MISS YOU MORE & MORE EVERYDAY......what i feel is the real definition of missing someone...
we love you!

Hey Uncle.
This is weird, leaving you a "reflection. Im so used to you calling to come over everyday, or stopping bye to tell me how big my nose is. it shrunk just so you know. =] i hate having to write you something on a memorial service. i hate not knowing the details of what really happened. i hate what really happened. yeh i may be able to sleep, but only for a short amount of time, because then you would randomly appear. id think of you and then the rest of my night would be shot to hell. its hard enough not having you around, but its even harder hearing it from everybody else. "he's in a better place." or "its okay" yeh those stupid comments. i hate those. hearing it just kind of makes it all the more real. when i hear things like that, or when people tell me to move on, it tares me up inside. i remember when you got me 50 lotto tickets and a doubleshot for my birthday, and i only won 2 dollars. but im not 18 so i couldnt cash in. yes, the good ol' days. sometimes i swear i can hear you call my name, or say something to me, but then i look back and youre not there. it is the hardest thing to say... that you are.... not here. and never coming back. have i moved on? no. will i? no. will i ever see you? no. life is already hard enough, and you not being here for me makes it even harder. i hate seeing suzy cry and i hate seeing grandma cry. i hate crying. but i cant stop because you left. just make it stop. make it all go away. i thought maybe the feeling would go numb, but when i see everyone else hurt, it makes it seems like nothing but a giant funeral everyday. i cant bring myself to go to the cementary, and i cant bring myself to cry in front of people. but i just want to cry in front of you. just tell me its will be ok. you are the only person i will gladly hear it from.
I Love You.
I will Always Love you.
Julia.

Hey Big Serg
Not one day goes by that we dont think about you.
Everyone says think of the wonderful memories when I feel down, but honestly those precious memories arent enough sometimes. I've replayed the same memories over & over for almost 2 yrs now & even thought of the new ones we would of had but it's getting to the point that I just get more upset cause it breaks my heart that we can no longer create new ones. I need new ones, I need you brother.
Ive been talking to someone at the PD & I'm going on a ride along , just like you always told me to.
"come on a ride along with me chief & you'll see how tough Iam"
I feel the need to talk with your close friends & c-workers about memories they had with you or any little thing they can tell me about you that I didnt know. I feel that is the ONLY way I can live with you now.

my parents, Shirley, me & all the kids miss you.

Happy Father's Day Sergio,
Last night I had a hard time sleeping. I knew that this day was coming. I wish you were here so we could celebrate what a wonderful father you were. The kids miss you so much as I do. I wish I could hold you one last time and tell you how much I love you. You were such a great father to Sergio and Bella. No one will ever be able to take that away from them. They always talk about you. I look at them now to the way they were when you died and they are exactly where you would have wanted them to be. Please tell my dad that I miss him. And that I always think about him. I know that you are always with us even during those tough times when I feel overwhelmed. Please know that I will always Love You and will Never forget you. You left and impression in my heart that will never be replaced. We miss you so much. Love You always.

Sergio,
Everyday is a different day. There are times where we feel we can get threw the day. Then there are times where it’s so quiet and your there with us and we don’t want the time to end. It’s a feeling that we don’t want to loose. Things have changed but your presents remain the same. It’s hard thinking you can’t be here with us and it gets hard to know we can’t put our arms around a memory. I love when we talk about you and say Remember When…it just makes it easier to know that you are never forgotten and the stories help keep you alive. When you left you took a piece of the puzzle to our hearts…its will never be the same again. Were just glad we had you apart of our puzzle.

Sergio,

I miss you so much. Last night I had a dream about you. I held you so tight and didnt want to let go because I knew that when I woke up that you would be gone. Life is so much harder to go through without you. Nothing will ever be the same.
Everytime I hear the song "No One" by Alicia Keys I think about you. I remember this song by Alicia Keys coming on. We were holding hands while you drove. I remember telling you "This song explains exactly how I feel about you." Its almost as if this song was written for us. I remember dedicating this song to you. Your response was "I Love You and I Love our Kids. "I couldn't be any happier."I wouldn't have it any other way. I wish we could have stayed in that very moment forever.
vbThe next month you were killed, taken from us. Now everytime I hear this song I remember our last conversation and all the good times we had together. I can't help but cry. I wish things could have been different. I would have given my life for you. I loved you so much and still do till this very day. I feel sad for our kids because they got cheated of being able to have their dad around. They will never get to see what a wonderful man and great dad that you were. You worked so hard to provide us with what we had. I know that one day we will see each other again and I know that when that time does come I will be able to hold you so tight once again and never have to let go.

Reading the story and hearing all of the refelctions it makes me so sad to hear stories such as this one. I grew up in a family of Police Officers and I know the hardships a family has to go through. Sergio gave his life serving his community, and he will not be forgotten.

I believe that I used to know Sergio. I was recently just looking up his name and could not believe when I heard this. If anyone was close to him is on here can you confirm if Sergio used to have an AOL screen name of bmxswatcop?

You deepest sympathy and prayers go out to the family and friends.

Hi babe,
You have been on my mind alot. I am missing you terribly right now. I want you to know that I am very thankful for everything you left for us. You have given us so much. Without you none of this would be possible. I am grateful for all the time we had with you. I have the most amazing kids in the world. They both remind me so much of you, Lil Serg still remembers you and asks about you. He asks me if I think he will ever see you again. At first I would change the subject but now I tell him that we will all see you again one day. Bella really doesnt remeber you. I do tell her about you. She looks at ur pictures and automatically says Thats my Papa." I try to be strong for them. I want them to know as much as they can about you. I want them to know what a wonderful person you were. That you always had good intentions for everyone, that you loved your job, and most of all that you were so proud of being on the SWAT team. You really made Rialto proud. I loved you more than life itself. I was so proud to be your wife. I will always love you, My Big Serg! Until we meet again
