Thinking of you today, like I always do, but it’s slightly more bittersweet. I know your sweet and wonderful mom is standing by your side today, and still probably hasn’t let go of your hand. She, like you, will be horribly missed and remembered in love and memories. The boys and I miss you already Momma B, and Nate, you are missed always. URABUS!! ❤️

Your heroism and service is honored today, the second 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.
I pray for solace for all those who love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Rest In Peace

I just wanted to let you, your family, friends, and coworkers know that you are not forgotten. We just went through our first anniversary of a similar tragedy and particularly on this day we remember exactly what we were doing one year ago, how we found out, and unfortunately relive it as it just happened.
I hope you find some peace in knowing that those you've never met are thinking about you and praying for you to find strength to get through tragedy.

As I sit here remembering my cousin who was also struck and killed by a driver, may Officer Burnfield's family know that David greeted him home as he had arrived 3 weeks earlier in the same manner. Officer Burnfield will never be forgotten as the hero he is, that he and David died in the same manner for the safety of others. May Officer Burnfield's family know that not only he is not alone, but the families they left behind are also not alone. I do know how much you miss him and are always thinking about him, and how grateful we are all for him. I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you Officer Burnfield for keeping others safe, may you rest in peace knowing your 'blue' family has taken over your watch.
