IN MEMORY OF POLICE OFFICER JAIR CABRERA

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Police Officer Jair Cabrera:

From the beginning of time after Cain killed his brother, Abel, there has been a need for law enforcement officers to protect the weak and to bring evildoers to justice. This work is necessary in a sinful world and is dangerous. In modern times, some two hundred and forty-three law enforcement officers have given their lives to protect the citizens of the State of Arizona. In additional, some forty-six tribal police officers have fallen protecting and serving their tribal communities nationwide. Today we honor Police Officer Jair Cabrera’s sacrifice.

Lord God, we are grateful for the life of Police Officer Jair Cabrera. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate Police Officer Jair Cabrera’s life and honor his sacrifice. Be with the family, friends, and colleagues of this fallen hero. Comfort them and give them your strength. Guide those who seek to take care of the family of this hero. May those empowered to do so, care for them with integrity. In commemorating the death of this hero, help those who mourn to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition to the glorious life to come. They should look forward to that life to come with joy and thanksgiving.

As for the citizens of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, help them to faithfully equip their law enforcement officers with the best tools to protect their community. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community to remember to pay their law enforcement officers fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community to obey the law and treat each other with dignity so as not to add to the burden of crime and pain to their community.

The time for mourning will soon pass. We have now remembered and celebrated the life lost in this great tragedy. As the family, friends, and colleagues of Police Officer Jair Cabrera go forward, they must celebrate the good things in their lives; and to celebrate life itself! Lord God, hear our prayers. Amen.

Now, may the Lord bless you, and keep you: the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. Amen.

In His merciful love,

Police Officer Jair Cabrera,

When you made your decision to enter law enforcement some seven years ago you became blessed:

For the Lord said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." Matthew 5:9 ESV

When you initiated that vehicle stop at an intersection, within your Indian Community, near the Scottsdale town line on Saturday, May 24, 2014, you answered God's call to serve:

And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, "Here am I! Send me." Isaiah 6:8 ESV

As a result, you were gunned down before you could even exit your patrol car by an occupant of the stopped vehicle brandishing a rifle; sacrificing your life so that others might live and be protected:

And the Lord said, "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13 ESV

I, along with your family, friends and comrades, will mourn your sacrifice and loss in the line of duty:

And the Lord said, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4 ESV

Now go! Rise up! And do battle against Satan and his demons as an angel for the Lord!

In God's merciful love,

Pastor Steven R. Closs
Retired Captain of Police, Nashua NH Police Department

Yesterday morning I saw the sunrise as I have countless days past. The difference was I did so with sorrow in my heart knowing a fellow Indian country warrior had lost his life protecting and serving our people and this great nation of ours.

With a broken heart my family and I shed tears for you and your family knowing that you would not be coming home once more. We said our prayers and gave offerings to the creator for you and your family for blessings of strength, wisdom, guidance, and protection in the days to come.

Officer Cabrera your thoughts, deeds, and memory will never be forgotten. Go now in peace and know that we will be here to carry on in the mission of protecting and serving the tribes, our communities, and the people of this great country.

Thank you for your service and bless your family, loved ones, coworkers and friends who life's you touched and especially all those you have helped as a peace keeper.

Respectfully,
