Thank you for your service Brother. You've made the "ultimate sacrifice" for all of us. This sinking, sick feeling that comes with the notice of a LEO LODD never changes. As your THP Brother, having served with and for you, it is especially hard to hear. You will be missed! As the song says, "Go rest high upon that mountain. Look for the Father and the Son!" May you rest in peace, and may God Bless, Comfort, and watch over your THP Brothers and Sisters, and especially your family.

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 for making the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of your duty. Upholding the oath you swore to do. serving your community making a better and safer place for us all. RIP SIR.
