Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I often think about you. I'm sorry your life was taken from you this way. You were such a great example of what I value in someone who is called to this profession.

My sincerest condolences the Dunn family for the loss of their brave son. It is through the amazing effort of valiant men and women like this that the rest of us can feel safer and can live our lives with a sense of safety and security.

It is with great sacrifices and heavy hearts that we move forward. It is people like Joseph Dunn that give me the strength to continue working hard every day to finish the LASD academy, and always strive to live up to the example left behind by Joseph James Dunn.

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

To the Dunn family, fellow deputies, and all who call Joseph 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.

My son was also his brother in green so I also thank him for his service in the Corps and bid him semper fi.
This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Deputy Dunn gave to his community and the citizens of Montana, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on August 14, 2014.

THEIR SACRIFICE IS TREMENDOUS, AND IF THEY COULD, THEY WOULD TELL US

"I have laid down my life in service to all of you.
I have been a part of the fabric that has held the line between your safety and your victimization. I have given my life so that others may live in peace. I have lived my life as a dedicated member of the greatest profession. There is no greater honor.

As I now become a part of the rich history of law enforcement, please remember me always for I have left behind those who loved and depended upon me.
My partners and my agency, please remember my family, their loss, and don’t let time soften your compassion for them.

You guard the gate now and I will continue my watch from above."

MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND MAY YOUR FAMILY FIND COMFORT IN THE GOOD YOU HAVE DONE HERE ON EARTH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO US ALL.
