God Bless you brother, and may God Bless your wife and kids, My prayers and thoughts are with you all.

To all Odessa PD LEO's, stay strong, your dept. has lost three great men. To: Abel's brothers, My prayers are with the both of you. It's hard to lose a brother officer, but to lose and officer who's a brother must be even harder for you. I can't even imagine the pain, but I promise you we all hurt with you.

There are no words that can express my deep sorrow for your tragic and unimaginable losses. After 20 years as a reserve officer in L.A., I am now a civilian employee for a small department in Washington. Though I am no longer officially an officer, in my heart and soul I remain part of that special family. My heart truly aches for Odessa PD and the families and friends of Corporal Jones, Corporal Gardner, and Corporal Marquez. My tears flow at the thought of your pain and sorrow, and my prayers go out to all of you. Your fine officers have joined many who have gone before them and now watch over all of us. To Corporals Jones, Gardner, and Marquez, thank you for your dedicated service. Rest easy, my brothers. We have the watch.
