Thank you for all that you did in your 29 years. I can't imagine how it must have felt to stand outside that bar and listen to those shots ring out. And yet, you went in. You gave yourself for others, and there can be no greater sacrifice, no greater reflection of one's character. Rest in peace, Sergeant Helus.

A PRAYER DEDICATED TO SERGEANT RON HELUS:

God of Mercy, we come boldly and humbly before Your throne in sincere faithful and fervent prayer. You are the Light, the Love, and the Life. We pray for the family and colleagues of Sergeant Ron Helus, a 29-year veteran of the Ventura County, CA Sheriff's Office, who was shot and killed in the Line-of-Duty, along with eleven other innocent civilians, in a bar located in Thousand Oaks at the hands of an active shooter. We thank Sergeant Ron Helus for his service to his county, state, and country. He ran towards the gunshots and not away from them! He is a "True Blue Hero". Bless the lives of his family so that they might find healing. Help the Ventura County Sheriff's Office comfort and support his family in their time of grief. Even though his death may have been senseless, make something good come out of this incident so that the Ventura County Sheriff's Office and Thousand Oaks in which Sergeant Ron Helus served might be stronger because of his life and death. We pray all these things, in His mighty and holy name. Amen.

Rest in Peace our Hero-in-Blue. We will take it from here! God speed my Brother-in-Blue! And for the family, friends, and the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, in which he served, please find comfort in Jesus’ words, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” [Matthew 5:4 NKJV].

For the Lord Jesus proclaimed, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [children] of God." [Matthew 5:9 ESV] and "Greater love has no one than this that someone lay down his life for his friends." [John 15:13 ESV]. For the Lord Jesus promised, “… Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise!” [Luke 23:43 EVS].

You are the definition of a real life hero sir. I hope to have the same courage you displayed when I am called to come to the aid of this who need it. May God give your family strength in their time of grief. God bless.

The cowardly filth who murdered you cannot be forgiven, but the circumstances under which he went about his despicable deed, his PTSD are heartbreaking. Yet, why did anyone have to die? We will never truly know the reason for this event where so many innocent lives were taken so needlessly.

You charged in, trying desperately to maybe save even one more life and for that selfless act, as well as your 29 previous years, you are unquestionably a real hero. So long as those who know and love you keep you forever in their hearts and minds, you will never truly be gone from them.

God Bless you, Sergeant Helus and Brother, may you forever Rest in Peace.
