Reflections for Detective Christopher Alexander Ridley

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 4th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never dimishes respect, and your memory will always be honored and revered. I pray for the solace of all those who love and remember him for I know both the pain and pride are forever. I hold his family in my heart's embrace today.

Rest In Peace

Chris - It has been almost two years since that senseless, tragic night of your death. Coming back to this page intensified that terrible pain that I and all that knew you carry around every day. You are gone but trust me never forgotten. That night has changed all of our lives especially your Dad. I promise to continue to be there for him and work with him to make sure your death is not in vain. We love you Chris!

The wicked flee where no man pursueth, but the righteous are bold as a lion

God bless you and all who mourn you. May God give them the strength to carry on. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Such a tragidy, as all deaths are. May God strengthen all affected by your death, hero...

Forgive me for missing the anniversary of your E.O.W., but I felt as though I could not continue to read about so many tragedies. I now realize the visit each day to leave a word of encouragement and hope to the loved ones of others, helps me to remember that I am not alone with my pain and heartbreak. So may I say to your friends and loved ones that my thoughts and prayers are with them now and always. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol and may they know you will never be forgotten.

Sometimes I wonder why I come here night after night and read these sad, sad stories. I can't understand why anyone would choose to serve in law enforcement and yet, at the same time, shudder to think what it would be like if no one volunteered to do it. I am not naive enough to think all law enforcement personnel have integrity, but the majority of the ones I've read
about here have my admiration. I just can't imagine the courage it takes to put your life on the line each and every day you serve. And thank you just doesn't seem to cut it.
Remembering you on the anniversary of your death. May God comfort
all those who are still grieving your passing. Life is difficult at times
and the Lord Jesus wants to help carry our burdens. He gives us many
beautiful promises in His Word to help us through our valleys. I pray you
will feel His presence and know His peace. God bless!

Chris,
Today makes 1 year since since your untimely passing. I just wanted to let you know that you are still in my heart and that I miss you alot. Today they are going to name the street in front of headquarters after a very brave man. Chris that man is you! So now when anyone walks through those doors, they're reminded of the hero that worked there. R.I.P Chris
