Lord God, our hearts and prayers go out to the Colorado State Patrol and for the family, friends, and colleagues of Trooper William Moden, of the Colorado State Patrol, who was killed in the Line-of-Duty on Friday, June 15, 2019. Depart, dear Brother-in-Blue, out of this world into the arms of the Father who created you, into the arms of the Son who redeemed you, and into the arms of the Spirit who made you whole. “You have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, and you have kept the faith” [2Timothy 4:7]. Now rest easy in peace. We will take it from here. Amen.

Scripture teaches us that:

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” [Matthew 5:4 ESV]

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [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]

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 Colorado State Patrol. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

It will sure be a very sad Fathers Day as the family of Colorado State Trooper William Moden. He was killed while assisting at an accident. It is a sad time for the entire State of Colorado and the Colorado State Patrol as they mourn the loss of a great trooper who enjoyed serving the State of Colorado proudly. He will be missed not by his family but by the entire Colorado State Patrol and the State of Colorado as well. You will be missed. My thoughts and my prayers go out to him his family, the State of Colorado and the Colorado State Patrol.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.
