Heavenly Father, You commit to us the swift and solemn trust of life: since we know not what a day may bring forth, but only that the hour for serving You is always present, may we wake to the instant claims of Your will upon our lives. In the face of questions without answers, of dreams unfulfilled, of the emptiness that will not go away, we are only compelled to thank You always for lives faithfully lived, for good memories and living hopes. We are reminded as we pray for family and friends who are touched with the feeling of sorrow, that we pray to one who does not let go unnoticed even the falling of a sparrow to earth. We pray to one who weeps for his world, and therefore we come trusting that in life or death, we may find rest and comfort in Him. In Christ Jesus, I pray. Amen

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.

You are a legend Dan. Your love for your family, community and this agency was never in doubt. You always had a kind and encouraging word to anyone that was hurting. You were a gift to this world and a cop’s cop. They say we all die two deaths. Once when we leave this world for the next, and again when our name is spoken with fondness for the last time. Your impact on everyone around you will not let your memory die. It is with pride that I can say I had the honor of knowing you. Rest easy friend.

Sergeant Watts, for many years, you dedicated your life to protecting others that they may be safe. It took a small virus to take your life. Our Lord, who sees all and knows all, will reward you abundantly for your courage, dedication and selfless service. My heart breaks for the sorrow that your father is experiencing over the loss of his son. It is against the law of nature that a parent would outlive his child. May God immerse you and your loved ones in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.
