Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

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.

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.

I extend my sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Daniel was killed.

To the Ellis family, fellow officers, and all who call Daniel 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 Officer Ellis gave to his community and the citizens of Kentucky , and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on November 6, 2015.
