Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Big Norm!

You might not remember me Norm, we work at the same agency at a time and crossed paths but we're never introduced. You actually pulled me over while I was working for another agency and running late for a meeting. You laughed and said "stay safe brother".

From what I know about you I would be a better person had I been formally Introduced and called you a close friend. I'm sorry I will never get that chance. Please watch over those who wear the badge. Rest easy warrior, we have the watch!!!

A Prayer for Deputy Sheriff First Class Norman Lewis:

Lord God, you are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Our Brother-in-Blue, Deputy Sheriff First Class Norman Lewis, of the Orange County, Florida Sheriff’s Office, was taken from us 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, Deputy Sheriff First Class Norman Lewis, 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.

“God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth. God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied. God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy. God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God. God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs." [Matthew 5:3-10 NLT]

"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]

"There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." [John 15:13 NLT]

"Well done, my good and faithful servant." [Matthew: 25:21 NLT]

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Orange County Sheriff's Office. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!
