TO THE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES OF PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE TROOPER FIRST CLASS BLAKE T. COBLE.

My heart is filled with great sadness at learning of the lost of your loved one and fellow State Trooper.
We in the law enforcement community are a family.
Though we may wear different uniforms and have different badges, shields or stars pinned upon our chest.
We consist of many different agencies from across the nation, for we are Municipal Police Officers, Sheriff's Deputies, State Investigators, State Highway Patrol Troopers, Conservation Officers, Correctional Officers and Federal Agents just to name a few.
We patrol small towns, large cities, county roads and state highways.
Whether active duty or retired, we are one family, a law enforcement family, brothers and sisters bonded together by HONOR, SERVICE and PRIDE.
Daily we honor our fallen brothers and sisters never forgetting their sacrifice.
Daily our position is clear that we will SERVE and PROTECT our communities without faltering and with no hesitation.
Daily we show pride in our chosen profession LAW ENFORCEMENT, for we willingly walk the line of GOOD over EVIL facing the unknown with COURAGE keeping our trust and faith in GOD.
We know that evil roam these streets and at any moment in the course of performing our duties the ultimate sacrifice might be required of us in the service to our community, for LAW ENFORCEMENT is not a job but a calling and only a few will make the decision to commit to that calling to serve for some will give all that they have.

I commend you my fallen brother for making the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of your duty.
For you left us doing what you chose to do.
Performing a job you were trained to do.
Upholding the oath you swore to do.
Most importantly doing what you loved to do........SERVING and PROTECTING your community with HONOR and PRIDE making a better and safer place for us all.

FINAL CALL
TROOPER COBLE STATUS.......TROOPER COBLE STATUS.......TROOPER COBLE STATUS.......
ATTENTION ALL UNITS.......PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE TROOPER FIRST CLASS BLAKE T. COBLE HAVING SERVED THE CITIZENS OF THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA WITH HONOR PRIDE AND DISTINCTION IS NOW 10-42.
Rest in Peace my Brother, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN !!!

God full of mercy who dwells on high
Grant perfect rest on the wings of Your Divine Presence
In the lofty heights of the holy and pure

to the soul of Blake Coble who has gone to his eternal rest.

His resting place shall be in the Garden of Eden
Therefore; the Master of mercy will care for him
under the protection of His wings for all time
And bind his soul in the bond of everlasting life.
God is his inheritance and he will rest in peace
and let us say AMEN.

I am deeply saddened by this news. I met & worked with Trooper Coble a couple times when I was with the railroad. He was a great guy and a first class police officer. My heart goes out to his family, the troopers stationed in Beaver County, the Pa. State Police and all brother and sister police officers everywhere. This is a tragic loss. Blake will be dearly missed.

Life.....so fragile, Loss....so sudden, Heart....so broken,... in the wake of such a loss,
we are haunted by things we don’t, and
may never, understand.

Yet the solace we seek may not come from
answers. So we look for comfort in the
belief of love's everlasting connection.

May that love lift you and hold you close, and give you peace.
