On this the 82 anniversary of your death, we pause and remember your sacrifice. A life so violently cut short, but leaving a legacy of a family you would never know.; two daughters, 9 granddaughters, 20 great grandchildren, and 7 great great grandchildren.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 77th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never dimishes respect, not even 77 years. I pray for solace for all those who love and miss you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Rest In Peace

I often read ODMP and will leave a msg. when I read a story about an officer's death and how the family is affected. Reading the reflection I see that Ofc. Killion left an incredible amount of memories for the family to live from and this family would follow in James' footprints. It appears Ms. Killion did a wonderful job raising her daughters, something they should be so very proud of. God Bless the familys of Ofc. Killion, friends and NYPD.

Dear Great Uncle,

As soon as I entered the Police Academy, I requested your shield number. On day of graduation I was given your shield # 6906 and wore it with pride. When I became a detective in 2005 I requested your shield again and it was granted to me. I wear your shield number with pride and try to do the same justice at work as you did during your years of service. Rest in Peace

Patrolman Killion was my grandfather. His memory is kept alive by his two daughters, and 20 grandchildren. His lose left a great void in our family that has transended several generations. We find peace and comfort in the knowledge that he died a hero and there is no greater gift that man can give then to lay down his life for his friend.

Patrolman Killion, you are a true hero to the people, community and nation that you served. Your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace my Brother..... We will carry on.

In 1934 A New York City Patrolman saved my Mothers life when she was an infant. I would not be here today if it wasn't for his quick actions and bravery.
