Reflections for Sergeant Christopher David Fitzgerald

Thank you for your service. Prayers for your Family and Department.

Officer Fitzgerald, losing any law enforcement officer is a blow to the entire blue family, but in our little subculture of college and university police, we feel it all the more. We're told we work in a 'safe' environment where nothing bad happens to us. This is proven false all too often. I'm very grateful to all who worked diligently to capture your murder.

We mourn your loss and celebrate your life and contributions to our profession. So long as your family keeps you forever in their hearts and minds, you will never truly be gone. We hold them in our hearts and prayers.

God Bless you, Brother and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful.

Officer Fitzgerald, our world is full of evil people, and yet, you dedicated your life to protecting others that they may be safe. 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 loved ones are experiencing. May God immerse you and them in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper

Officer Fitzgerald, I am deeply saddened that your life was taken. It is very upsetting to know your four children won’t see their papa anymore, and your wife is left without her loving husband. You are a hero. I sincerely hope your family gets all the support they need, and that gradually they will find the strength to continue with their lives. God bless you and your family. You will never be forgotten.
