On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Jacob was killed.

To the Calvin family, fellow deputies, and all who call Jacob beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Deputy Calvin gave to his community and the citizens of Indiana, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on June 28, 2014.

IN MEMORY OF DEPUTY SHERIFF JACOB CALVIN

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Deputy Sheriff Jacob Calvin:

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 four hundred and twelve law enforcement officers have sacrificed their lives to protect the citizens of the State of Indiana. Today, we honor the sacrifice of Deputy Sheriff Jacob Calvin, of the Tipton County, Indiana Sheriff’s Office; who was killed in a single vehicle accident near the intersection of CR 300 West and CR 300 South while responding to the report of a traffic collision on Saturday, June 28, 2014, just before 10:00 PM in the eveing in Tipton County, Indiana.

Lord God, we are grateful for the life of Deputy Sheriff Jacob Calvin. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of Deputy Sheriff Jacob Calvin 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 Tipton County, Indiana, help them to faithfully equip their law enforcement officers with the best tools to protect their county. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of Tipton County, Indiana, to remember to pay their law enforcement officers fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of Tipton County, Indiana, to obey the law and treat each other with dignity so as not to add to the burden of crime and pain to their county.

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 Deputy Sheriff Jacob Calvin go forward, they must celebrate the good things in their lives; and to celebrate life itself!

Finally, Lord God, we pray for the families, friends, and colleagues of all the law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line-of-duty and we thank you for their sacrifices. Bless the lives of their families, friends, and colleagues so they might find healing. Help their law enforcement organizations support the families of these fallen heroes. Even though their deaths might have been senseless, make something good come out of these situations so that their law enforcement organizations and the communities in which they lived and served might be stronger because of their lives and their deaths.

Amen.

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.
