God bless Deputy Shirley for his dedication to his family and his years of service to our community. He didn't deserve to die at the hands of a worthless, cowardly criminal. May he rest in peace. May the Lord give his family, friends, and co-workers peace and comfort. I pray that the Lord keeps all Law Enforcement officers and military safe and healthy.
