Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

To the family, friends and co-workers of Officer Christopher Kilcullen-my sincere sympathies to you all. The level of this suspect's violence is shocking.

I started my public safety career 20 years ago as a 9-1-1 calltaker and police dispatcher with the City of Eugene. I have many great memories of ride-alongs and just day-to-day interactions with Eugene police officers which eventually led me to enter law enforcement. The folks who knew and loved Chris Kilcullen will never know how many people his life positively affected, as those EPD officers did for me years ago. Our agency has had its own share of tragedy in the last several years, including losing a young trooper to gunfire this past December, so the numbing effect of an incident like this is well-known to us. Sincere condolences to EPD and Chris' loved ones, and a big "thank you" to Officer Kilcullen. 3-7-77

Chris was an inspiration and a truly good person. As so many have witnessed, he was down to earth and approachable. He had kind words for everyone, even if others were critical of him or the department he served. He was one of the reasons I was able to keep my head up in so many situations. He had a way to make you smile when skies were grey and everywhere he went, his face was radiant with joy. His demeanor displayed a character that had no bias and he treated everyone with dignity. Oh world, what a loss! The heavens will be getting a righteous warrior. To the family (EPD and immediate), claim God's promise found in John 14:1-3, which reads, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also". Rest in love, borther in Christ! Aloha, Keith Autele.

ITS SOUNDS LIKE THUNDER FAR AWAY...

It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright...
And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.
They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast...
They look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past.

Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one...
From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun.
And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them by...
And young ones ask their parents, why the men have mirrors for eyes.

They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you...
They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few.
Like men of steel, on Silver Wings, they sparkle in the light...
then with a roar and rumble, they ride out of our sight.

Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again...
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side, they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound...
And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.

So if you see one riding, and you look into his face...
You see your reflection in his eyes, you know that you are safe.
For motormen are a special breed, they love to ride the wind...
And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen ones ride again.
