Reflections for Trooper Robert Perez, Jr.

I can't beleive it has been 7 years since you were taken from us. I will always have the memories of me and you sitting at the Gibsonburg Police Dept and you letting me make fun of you and your hat. But you always had to put it on and wear it perfect. In case I never told you I was just jealous of your hat. I also want you to know I miss you dearly and until we meet again rest in peace my friend and missed brother.

Trooper Robert Perez is my nephew and he passed on my birthday. After his passing, I dreaded May 15th and it did nothing for me. But my wife revealed to me that this day is not a sad day, it is a day to rejoice because it is the day that Robert met the Lord. He had obviously touched so many lives in his short time, and his duty was done here on earth. We were blessed to have him as part of family and we are all very proud of him still!

I remember Robert sitting in my living room many nights watching COPS and he was so involved in the shows. He dreamed of being a State Trooper and he did it.

I miss you and love you.

I thank god for the officers that put their lifes on the line.I know that the job of police officers are very hard in not knowing if your coming home at the end of your shift. my prayers are with your family and the law has came out that vehicles are to move over a lane when seeing a police vehicle with the lights on . this job is a very good job but life is a great thing and we all know that cops are very special people.

Troop,

Thank you for doing your job. I too work for the OSHP. When you got killed you had only worked for 3 years and I had only worked 3 days for the Patrol. I will never forget the day you got struck I was at work when the TT cam out. I remember thinking what a shame for such a young guy to be hit like that. I remember reading about you in the "Flying Wheel" and thinking how sad it was for your mom to have to go through that.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks and I will look you up when I get there.

Rest easy.

Trooper Perez was killed two months before my boy was killed while on Duty in Clay Township. We the surivers will all meet in Washington May 15 2001 for Police memorial day. I've never heard nothing but good things about Trooper Perez. I'm
sure his Family feels the loss and sadness that we feel. All Police Officers feel terrible when something like this happens because they know it could of easly been them. They are in a much better place now .Please God help us all get
thru this. Kenny

Heartfelt condolences are extended from members of the Sheffield P.D. law enforcement family of Trooper Perez.  While his sacrifice was ultimate, comfort in the knowledge he will be fondly thought of and deepely missed.

Sgt. Mike Reinker
Sheffield Police Dept

you are remebered as a friend an a brother officer. It deeply saddens us all here who know you and remeber your friendship. Rest in peace and God bless.

Woodville Police Dept

To the family of Trooper Perez, I can truely feel your pain, because we also lost our 24 year old son Officer Michael Deno in the line of duty on Feb.29th of this year. He too had a car pulled over, but he was shot in the head by this person. The only way I can make it each day is to remember Mike's smile and his positive attitude. I'm sure our sons want our lives to be meaningfull and continue to be the best people we can be. Please know that our family will be thinking and praying for you. Our sons did not die in vain, they were proud to be policemen and I know they made a difference. We will see them again some day, it has been
promised.

I started my career llike you did at the Cedar Point Police Department. Before I started each day I used to look at your picture next to my locker and get inspired by you. I never really knew you, but from what I hear you were obssesed with you appearance and the way you did your job, because of this your memory has inspired me to do my job the best I know how. Rest in Peace Brother and may your memory continue to inspire other officers!!
