Detective Osborn,
I may have never met you, but I want to thank you for your incredible 33 years of powerful service to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Your long commitment to the Special Enforcement Bureau shows the strength, courage, and professionalism you carried throughout your career. It’s clear that you lived a life grounded in loyalty, sacrifice, and deep devotion to both your family and the department. Your passing leaves a great loss for your wife,who also serves as a detective,your four sons, your two daughters, and all those whose lives you touched deeply. May your legacy continue to inspire others to serve with the same honor and heart you demonstrated every day.

Now I may not have known you, but I have known family who had friends who have died for the same cause and I will always respect and honor the fallen, but most of all God, so that he may bring us all up to him when our time comes. I hope and pray that God has brought you up and that Jesus has said "I know you". I pray that your family has healed and that they may be blessed and have God's favor on them, as well as that justice may prevail and be served properly to the person responsible and that the Lord Almighty may forgive them.
