Undersheriff Gaede, a police officer, should be remembered not by how he died but by how he lived! A brave man has left to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you for your 8 years of commitment to law enforcement, your family, and the Phillips County Sheriff's Office . Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace, Brother!

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.

Rest Brother, we will take it from here. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. Ephesians 6:11 I retired shortly after the Undersheriff started at Phillips County, his in-laws though, i knew them well, great Officers as I’m sure the Undersheriff was too. This needs to stop, attacking officers, disrespecting them. It needs to end!

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.
