He did his ultimate sacrifice for greater good. God have mercy on his soul. We ask God to hear our prayers and take him to his paradise, a place of peace and love where he will be in the company of the many that came before him and where they reside in the heart of our Lord.

Heavenly Father, You are Compassionate and Merciful. None of America’s Peace Officers leave home without the fear of not returning at the end of their watch. It is a fear that is lived daily. Unfortunately, the worst does sometimes come to pass, and lives are left shattered. Lord God, bless and keep the hearts and souls of those who have lost loved ones in the line of duty. Wipe away the tears from their eyes. Soothe their pain and bind up their emotional wounds through the wounds of Your beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Finally, O Lord, if You are willing, have Your warrior servant, Michael the Archangel, the Defender and Protector Against Evil, who successfully defeated Satan and his fallen angels in heavenly battle because of his unwavering faith and courage, welcome America’s Fallen Peace Officers into Your Eternal Light and comfort their loved ones and all those left behind who mourn. In Christ Jesus’ mighty and holy Name, and by His Authority and Sacrificial Blood, I pray. Amen.
God’s Mission for Law Enforcement:
“The policeman is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he will have you punished. He is sent by God for that very purpose.” (Romans 13:4 TLB)
Please find Comfort, Support, and Hope from the following Scripture Verses found in the GOD’S WORD Bible:
“Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom will I send? Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8),
[Jesus taught]: “Blessed are those who make peace. They will be called God’s children.” (Matthew 5:9),
[Jesus taught]: “Blessed are those who mourn. They will be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4),
[Jesus taught]: “The greatest love you can show is to give your life for your friends.” (John 15:13),
“Even though I walk through the dark valley of death, because you are with me, I fear no harm. Your rod and your staff give me courage.” (Psalm 23:4) and
“Jesus said to her [Martha], “I am the one who brings people back to life, and I am life itself. Those who believe in me will live even if they die.” (John 11:25).
