Reflections for Deputy Sheriff David William March
For the past four years I have had the great honor of standing guard at your memorial on the anniversary of your murder. I never had the pleasure of knowing or working with you but the legacy you left behind will never be forgotten. Thank you for your sacrifice. May we never put another name up on our wall.
Rest In Peace

Your heroism and service is honored today, the tenth 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 who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.
I pray for aolace for all that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace. Thanks to your family and friends for sharing their memories and devotion to you through their reflections.
Rest In Peace.

Tomorrow will be 10 years since you left us all. I will go to your memorial for the last time as I am moving to Ohio and will not get this way again. Thank you for being the wonderful Sheriff you were. You would come and talk to my preschool children and showed them that Sheriff's were the "good guys". I am thrilled to say my son, Frank Masters is working for Temple City Sheriff's now. He was an Explorer and then took a position with them. Hopefully he will go on to become a Sheriff. You were a wonderful influence to many. You will never be forgotten. Rest in the arms of Jesus my friend.

When we worked together at Creative Presentations you had spoken often about your dream to become a law enforcement officer. I was happy for you when you attained your dream.
Ken and I often return to California and drive by the memorial section at the 210 and 605 that bears your name.
You were a good man and you did not deserve for this to happen to you.
When I think of you I always smile.

Sir, I pass by your memorial section of the 210 and 605 freeway on a constant basis. I watched The Academy where they recognized you in their colors run. I share your unfortunate story with several people so that they realize the seriousness of this line of work. It's an eye opener. I just hope some day that I can be a hard working deputy like you were. Thank you sir.

When Dave worked at M.M, I was in the ROP Security program via Saugus High. I was honored to have him mentor and teach me many useful skills. Thank You to Dave and his Family's sacrifice for all of us.

My husband and I were just in Havasu at Heather and Tom's house. We were sitting around talking about you....remembering the night before they got married and all of us having a great time at the beach. The day you were killed and the relentless battle your wife and family fought to bring your killer to justice. Tom misses you so much...the look in his eyes when he talks about you....well, it says it all. Watch over all of us while we continue your work on these violent streets......

Hi David,
Well, it's been eight years since I've heard you say to me: Hi, Mr. T. You were my son's (Randy) Best Man and companion. I know you're looking down at all of us fragile folks and pray for us. I miss our talks about your pepper trees and fishing trips. I look forward to seeing you again. Love, Dave, Irene, and Randy.

This tragic day will forever be engraved in my memory.On my way home,I recall driving upon this devastating event. Everyday that my husband walks out the door,I pray he comes home. I reflect on Deputy March,and that heartbreaking, senseless, taking of his life. When I hear the garage door open, I thank God for giving another day with my husband and beg for more.

D/S March, Sir Thank You for your service. You were a credit to your family and your department. Looking at your picture I see someone who loved life and loved his job. Those who put the uniform on every day/night and hit the streets are our TRUE HERO's! The monster that took your life will pay, in Hell! Every LEO who has lost their life or been crippled by these senseless acts will never be forgotten! GOD BLESS your FAMILY and Rest In Peace!

Deputy March:
I watched a replay of The Academy last night and once again watched your memorial service after the colors run. Hearing the pipes play Amazing Grace always brings a chill to my body and tears to my eyes. I write to you today, to let you know that you will always be remembered as a Hero to many, especially to new recruits and rookies like myself. Observing the dedication so many people have for fallen officers, and the brotherhood that we share as a family (even if it is across the country), makes me feel proud to wear the badge.
Thank You Sir for your service and dedication to your community and country. Rest In Piece. We'll take it from here!

Like another Reflection here, I saw the episode of The Academy (a replay) that featured their tribute to your sacrifice. When the Class was at the location of where you were shot, their emotions were so evident on their faces. Your loss made everything real to them. This isn't an ordinary job. When we go to work every day, we may not come back to the ones we love. They will remember that and it will make them better officers because of it.
Their solemn respect for you, someone they never knew proves once again that we NEVER forget our fallen brothers and sisters. Rest in peace Deputy, and watch over the rest of us.

Deputy March and family,
Tonight I wacthed the show The Academy where Class #355 did the colors run. As I sat here and watched it I had tears running down my face. Seeing your father and wife talk to the class had to be hard. They were very strong and proud of the class for what they did. It reminds me of the day we lost an officer to a traffic stop here. You and your family will always be in my heart. Rest in peace Deputy March. Thank you for your service.
