Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Haskel Gene McLane

To the Family and friends of Deputy McLane, My prayers are with you during this time of grief. I lost my partner a year ago tommorrow (06-13-00). He (Cpl. Ron Courville) also payed the altimate sacrifice. Responding to assist me on a call,he was killed in a traffic accident. These special people that payed the altimate sacrifice, God has a plan for them. They will forever be remembered as Heros.

"Blessed are the peacekeepers,for they shall be called the sons of God" And Bless you brother. I was told that when God picks his flowers he picks the best, this was true in Deputy Mclanes case. He will be greatly missed.

My name is Ann McLane and Deputy McLane was my husband. I was and am very proud of the job he did and fortunately, told him so. Again, fortunately, the last thing I said to him that morning was "I love you." I, his children, grandchild, brothers and sisters sincerely appreciate the wonderful reflections we have read on these pages. I can only pray that additions to the Officer Down pages never materialize but we all know differently. May God bless and keep you all.

I click on this site all the time. And the names that appear never hit so hard as when you know the brave Officer. I went to the Academy with Deputy Mclane. I hope the lord needed a Brave man, because he got one.
