View all 172 ReflectionsOfficer Skinner, thank you for your sacrifice and service. I was with my father, LEO Cache Sheriff's Office, and my uncle, LEO North Salt Lake PD, at your funeral. It was the first police funeral I had ever been too and I was very young. I will never forget riding in my father's patrol car, helping lead you to your final resting place, seeing the firemen hanging the American Flag on the highway overpass, and the hundreds of civilians who lined the streets in support of the ultimate sacrifice you made while serving their community. Seeing the support from your community filled my heart, and tears poured from my eyes. Thank you for sacrificing everything for those you serve. I still remember you and think of you often. I did not know you but you changed my life forever. You will never be forgotten. Your memory, service, and sacrifice still lives on today.
