You started young. You've seen a lot and now, you've seen Heaven before the rest of us. So long as your wife and children and all who remain here on Earth keep you in their hearts and minds, you will never truly be gone.

A Prayer for Trooper Kenneth Velez:

Lord God, you are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Our Brother-in-Blue, Trooper Kenneth Velez, of the Ohio State Highway Patrol was taken from us suddenly and violently in the Line-of-Duty. Come swiftly to his aid, have mercy on him, and comfort his family, friends, and colleagues by the power and protection of the Cross. Heavenly Father, as we mourn the death of our Brother-in-Blue, Trooper Kenneth Velez, show us the immense power of your goodness and strengthen our belief that he has entered into Your presence. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

"For the policeman does not frighten people who are doing right; but those doing evil will always fear him. So if you don't want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. The policeman is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he will have you punished. He is sent by God for that very purpose. Obey the laws, then, for two reasons: first, to keep from being punished, and second, just because you know you should." [Romans 13:3-5 TLB]

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” [Matthew 5:9 ESV]

“Greater love has no one than this that someone lay down his life for his friends.” [John 15:13 ESV]

To the Family of Trooper Kenneth Velez

Losing a loved one is difficult. Please take comfort in Jesus words found at Acts 24:15 where he said that there was going to be a resurrection. Just think of the time when you will see your loved ones again, in paradise conditions, here on earth. My condolences to the family.
