God's comfort and blessings to the family of Travis Murphy. My father & brother have been in law enforcement all my life and this is my nightmare. I will pray continually for the healing of this family and that Travis is in peace. I am so profoundly sorry for your loss!!!

It is always heartbreaking to hear of another loss, of another family that has to learn how to survive without a love one, of another child growing up without their parent, of another spouse that feels alone.
I am so sorry for your loss and know that you are more than likely still in shock. Just know that you and your family are not alone; even in the dark of night or the early morning hours when you're sure you can't get through this, there are those of us out there thinking of you, sending you hope, strength and love. Not only will your officer not be forgotten but you won't be either. Thank you so much for your sacrifice as a family.

May The Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
May the Lord bless your family, ease their pain and always keep them from harm and want.

There is nothing quite as paralyzing and heartbreaking as a line of duty death...and I am so sorry for your loss. The thin blue line is a strong knit group of people...a brotherhood. Please know you are in our prayers and thoughts and thank you, officer, for your service.

I check this site everyday in hopes that no new bio's appear. Unfortunately, like most days, I have to pull my patrol car over and take a few moments to shed a few tears and reflect. Today is no exception. All I can offer up are my thoughts and prayers.

"He Answered The Call"

Today in the sun, I bid him farewell
A man, a hero, I never knew well

Like many before him, who answered the call
Wearing a badge, he was destined to fall

Though by choice a long life and a happy old age
Would he have chosen, had he written the page

But the office he chose never promised long life
Just half of his salary, for his children and his wife

He went without fear, into the darkness of night
Bringing comfort to some, to some others light

Easing their pain and calming their fears
He did his duty, never asking for cheers

A husband, a cop, he answered the call
We bid him farewell for he gave his all
