Deputy Kyle Wayne Dinkheller

Dinkheller,

I was 17 years old when I watched your video for the very first time. The fight that you fought this very day reflects the amount of will, courage, strength and fight you had within you to always pursue the good in this life and those who stand against it.
You had to give your life away this day but you saved thousands of brothers and sisters who were able to learn from your actions this day.
I know that somewhere up there in the sky, beyond the sun and the stars, you look down and you feel pride in every single officer that was able to learn from you. You can be encouraged by what you see, by those who walk the streets with pride on their shoulders and a badge on their uniform.
You are the reason so many Officers even pursued law enforcement.

I also want to thank your Dad. Despite the fact that he had to go through the unimaginable pain of losing you, he went through it with the goal to help others. And he did. Teaching so many Officers out there what and what not to do in situations like yours.
Thank you both!

Rest easy Kyle.
