Officer Dia, our Lord took you back to Himself as your life had only begun. God, in His infinite goodness, must need good people like you to do His work on earth. He will reward you abundantly. I cannot imagine the grief that your family is experiencing now, especially your parents. May He immerse you and your loved ones in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

I have never forgotten a poem that I heard years ago at the funeral of another young officer.
He had been killed while driving his radio car to assist another officer in following a stolen car. I am unsure what the title is or who the author is and so I am unable to give credit to the author but it is still sad, important, and meaningful:

The silence, now, is deafening
where once his laughter fell.

The beat is empty of the one
who knew its streets so well.

The squad room has a vacancy
no one else can occupy.

And so we stand, salute and grieve
again we say 'good-bye'.

Praying for your family, friends, colleagues, and agency during this very difficult time for them and all of us. Thank you for your service! We shall remember you with pride and admiration always! May God Bless the Blue!

“The peacemakers are blessed, for they will be called sons [children] of God.” [Matthew 5:9];

“Those who mourn are blessed, for they will be comforted.” [Matthew 5:4], and;

“No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends.” [John 15:13]

Depart in peace, Brother-in-Blue; in the name of God the Father who created you; in the name of Christ Jesus who redeemed you; in the name of the Holy Spirit who sanctifies you. May you rest in peace and dwell forever with the Lord. Amen.
