End of Watch Saturday, July 26, 2025



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.

PROTECTOR'S PRAYER

Lord, you have already won the battles I will face today.
I rest in your sovereignty knowing that you have appointed me for this duty.
The power that created everything lives in me through your holy spirit, let me fear nothing.
Give me the courage of David, strength of Samson and the grace of your son, Jesus.
While I am away protect my family, let me return unharmed. Prepare their hearts should today be the day I meet you face to face.
Let me serve the people of this blessed country and community with a servant's heart, being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.
Lord, you have given me great responsibility, help me to protect the vulnerable and innocent.
When the moment calls, allow me to show compassion and humility to those that cross my path.
When faced with evil, let my actions be definitive, impartial, and above reproach.
Protect my brother to my left and my sister to my right as we respond fearlessly, without hesitation to the unknown.
FOR HIS GLORY

Deputy Ming, 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 9 years of commitment to law enforcement, your family, and the Wyandotte County Sheriff's Office. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace, Brother!
