IN MEMORY OF AGENT ALEXANDER GIANNINI

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Agent Alexander Giannini:

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 one hundred and twenty United States Border Patrol Agents have sacrificed their lives to protect the citizens and the borders of the United States of America. Today, we honor Agent Alexander Giannini’s sacrifice.

Lord God, we are grateful for the life of Agent Alexander Giannini. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate Agent Alexander Giannini’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 United States of America, help them to faithfully equip their Federal Law Enforcement Officers/Agents with the best tools to protect their country. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of the United States of America to remember to pay their Federal Law Enforcement Officers/Agents fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of the United States of America to obey the Federal law and treat each other with dignity so as not to add to the burden of crime and pain to this great country of ours.

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 Agent Alexander Giannini go forward, they must celebrate the good things in their lives; and to celebrate life itself!

Lord God, hear our prayers.

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,

For all you've done to help keep our borders as tight as you can, you have my deepest gratitude. Your job is one of the toughest in law enforcement and no doubt seems at times like it's a waste of time, but it's not and the dedication of you and your colleagues is amazing.

So long as those who know and love you best keep you alive in their hearts and minds, you will always be with them.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.

Agent Alexander Giannini,

When you made your decision to enter law enforcement some five 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 were patrolling your sector beat along I-10 in Benson, Arizona, on Wednesday, May 28, 2014 at about 07:30 AM, 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 involved in a terrible traffic collision with another vehicle; 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
