Reflections for Senior Patrol Officer Daniel Neil Ellis
I remember seeing Daniel the time I went down to Richmond, it was literally a week before he had gotten shot. He was an amazing dude, he helped me and my parents fix the tire.. I never knew he had gotten shot till recently.. He died too young.

You're not forgotten. My husband became an officer one month before you passed away and every day I pray for you and him. You deserved better. Rest in peace.
I wish you had better.

Officer Ellis, you are not forgotten. Your cousin's song inspired me to help the California Highway Patrol because I wanted to be like you even though I have to face I will never stop myself from getting my badge. Badge Number 457 is all over town and the state of Kentucky. Rest in Peace #457

This Officer was mercilessly slain in the line of duty, His life had come to an abrupt end for no reason, It's absolutely terrible what happened and i hope that god had welcomed him with open arms, Not for his uniform, Not for his rank, title or position. But for himself. I don't personally know him but I am sure he was an amazing man and a better husband. God rest his soul.

I hope those who where involved in
the horrible killing of Officer Ellis were held to the full extent of the law. What a heart breaking story and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. As a child my father was an MPO, many years later he went on to special operations in Lorton, Va. I will always have admiration for my father, as well as, those who choose to protect and serve. I pray the Lord wraps his loving arms around Officer Ellis’s surviving children and wife.

John 5:28, 29 - "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

Honestly, I didn't know Officer Daniel Ellis, but when I came home from school & mom told me "Officer Ellis passed." It broke me. Every since that day, I've been working harder to achieve my dream of being a police officer.. Officer Daniel Ellis is & always will be my idol...

I didn't know Officer Ellis nor had I ever met him but when I saw on the news the situation that was unfolding for some crazy reason it touched me so much and made me very sad and angry to see and hear the details of the crime. After he was taken to UK I was hoping and praying he would make it. Unfortunately God called him home. So now every time I see Mrs. Ellis and their son it breaks my heart. The tears start flowing. Daniel you are greatly missed and loved by many, you brought peace and light in this cold dark warm. May your light shine forever bright in heaven. Fly high
We will never forget you and one day your son will know who you were and that you died doing what you loved and that you are a hero.
