Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Deputy Sheriff Ihrig,
On today, the 2nd anniversary of your death,, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the USMC. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

On behalf of the men and woman of the Franklin County Sheriff's Office Patrol Bureau:
Billy your dedication, friendship and sacrifice is never forgotten out here. Cruiser Car 12 will always be memorized in your honor with "badge #1056" proudly displayed on each side of it. Your memorial is displayed at the Patrol Sub-station on our "Wall of Honor" so that new deputies transferring into Patrol are reminded daily of your sacrifice and commitment that you exhibited to our profession of law enforcement. Continued thoughts and prayers for the Ihrig & Motter family.

Most merciful God, You hold each of us dear to Your heart. Hold all America’s Peace Officers and their families, who are afflicted or affected by the COVID-19 Virus, in Your loving arms and tenderly draw them into Your life, together with all others who are living with the COVID-19 Virus. Assure them that they are not alone, and give them courage and faith for all that is to come. Strengthen those who care for them and treat them, and guide those who do research. Nourish those who have lost sight of You, and heal the spirits of those who are broken. We pray this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, who suffered and died, and then rose from the dead to lead us into new life, now and forever. In Christ Jesus, I pray. Amen.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [children] of God.” [Matthew 5:9 ESV]

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” [Psalm 23:4 ESV]
