Regardless of why he ran in the first place, this 'suspect' should face total repercussions for his actions. It cost a valuable life and took a good man away from his family, needlessly.

Deputy Dunn, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service to this nation and Montana. You are a real hero. Rest in Peace, Brother and God Bless you.

Deputy Dunn was a true shinning star, at Cascade County Sheriff's Office, as well as at home to his wife and children. He had a disposition that touch everyone he met. God gave him to us for such a short time, which we are grateful. A quiet, unassuming hero that walked among us. RIP my dear precious friend, we miss you greatly.

IN MEMORY OF DEPUTY SHERIFF JOE DUNN

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Deputy Sheriff Joe Dunn:

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-three law enforcement officers have sacrificed their lives to protect the citizens of the State of Montana. Today, we honor the sacrifice of Deputy Sheriff Joe Dunn, of the Cascade County, Montana Sheriff's Office; who was killed in the line-of-duty when he was struck by a vehicle along Highway 87, that was being pursued by other sheriff's deputies, in Belt, Montana, on Thursday, August 14, 2014.

Lord God, we are grateful for the life of Deputy Sheriff Joe Dunn. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of Deputy Sheriff Joe Dunn 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 Cascade County, Montana, 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 Cascade County, Montana, to remember to pay their law enforcement officers fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of Cascade County, Montana, 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 Joe Dunn 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.


In His Service,

To lose a fellow brother of blue is devastating at anytime. It is especially hard to have one taken from his department so young and so tragically. My heart goes out to his family, to his wife, and the only positive I can gleam from this is to his wife...Stay strong and know that your family has grown exponentially, your husbands department will be with you for as long as you need them and even when you think you don't. Our veins run blue as so did your husbands. Your husband will always be with you. Rest in peace, Peace Keeper.
