IN MEMORY OF CONSTABLE CLEVE JOHNSON

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Constable Cleve Johnson:

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 eighteen hundred and twenty-four law enforcement officers have sacrificed their lives to protect the citizens of the State of Texas. Today, we honor the sacrifice of Constable Cleve Johnson, of the Titus County Constable’s Office – Precinct 2, Texas; who was killed in-the-line of duty when he allowed his patrol vehicle to leave the roadway and strike a concrete culvert on FM 1734 in Titus County, Texas, on Thursday, August 28, 2014.

Lord God, we are grateful for the life of Constable Cleve Johnson. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of Constable Cleve Johnson 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 Titus County, Texas, 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 Titus County, Texas, to remember to pay their law enforcement officers fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of Titus County, Texas, 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 Constable Cleve Johnson 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.

Standing at attention in their class “A“uniforms, badges gleaming and shoes like glass, are your brothers and sisters of Law Enforcement. All of whom have previously paid the ultimate price.
Today, like many others, they welcome you to this wonderful place.
As you march down the Avenue of the Fallen, all eyes focus on you as if to say “it’s OK, you’re with your eternal partners.”
A salute is followed and a tear can be seen on so many faces.
Welcome, you served well.
Now come join us in the ranks, another is coming home.

Looking at this man's age and time on the job all he knew was policing. It is all he has ever done. He has served the County of Titus, the State of Texas and the United States of America loyally his entire adult life. What a wonderful man. To answer the call to serve and protect-and to do it for all your life-what a glory! This is a hero! Dearest family-I greive for you loss, but know that Cleve was doing what he loved to do, and our world will be a little smaller without him!
