You were a hero when you ran in to that music festival to help others despite being injured. Heros are never forgotten. A nation mourns with the family, friends, and department.

He was a hero and the Lord said enough you are to come home and sit at my table. He was young but even when wounded his first thought was to help others. Now the family and friends must deal with their grief. May they have comfort in knowing people all over pray for them.

End of Watch Wednesday, October 4, 2023.



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.
