The news of Deputy Reckling’s death has deeply saddened me and my entire family. The sacrifice that he made while protecting and serving your community is a testament to the selfless and courageous nature of law enforcement officers like him. We can never truly understand the risks and challenges faced by those in law enforcement, and we are forever indebted to them for their unwavering commitment to keeping us safe.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with Deputy Reckling’s family and colleagues during this immensely challenging time. Their loss is immeasurable, and we can only hope that the outpouring of support from the community can offer some comfort in these trying times.

What greater loss can a community suffer than losing one of God's agents appointed to uphold righteousness and protect us? What greater loss can an officer's wife endure than the loss of her protector and provider? God took Deputy Reckling home, so He is responsible to protect and provide for his wife and family. May He surround them with arms of comfort and use the rest of us to meet their physical needs. May He place His hand on the unborn in a divine way and bless the child with godly wisdom and influence.
