Words can not say enough but, we mourn another hero that has been taken from us. My deepest sympathy to the family, friends and co-workers. May the Lord give you strength and bless each of you during this time. Remember these few verses taken from the KJB. In I Samuel 20:3 it says, And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly [as] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, [there is] but a step between me and death. In John 3:17 it says, For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. And in Philippians 1:21 it says, For to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.

Please accept my sympathy as you begin this horrible path of grief. Ethan gave his life for something he loved to do, he loved to wear the badge. The amount of support and help you are now receiving is unimaginable and will always be there for you.

Ethan, Thank you for your service. You are a true hero for proudly wearing your badge daily.

I was driving home from work yesterday, I was reflecting on my husband's death because he would have celebrated his 42nd birthday on the 3rd. My thoughts were interupted by a phone call telling me about Deputy Collins death. My heart goes out to his family...his wife and two children as I know how difficult these days are and will be. I also know that there is an entire community putting its loving arms around you (many you will never know of)but will none the less send you all the love and support you will need in the coming weeks, months and years. I am so very sorry that yet another family has to endure this loss.
