A year ago an officer I work with was diagnosed with cancer. He was a 27 year old father and husband. It was melanoma and very aggressive. He passed away on 12/22/10 after a courageous fight.
We rallied around him and had many fund raisers for him and his family. I'm very proud of my department for doing the things they did for him. The funeral is on Monday and he'll have a police funeral. It's not easy losing anyone form the brotherhood but even tougher when it's one of your own.
RIP 843

Rest in peace.
Of every one hundred men, ten should not even be here. Eighty are nothing but targets. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the One... One of them is a Warrior... He will bring the others back.

What sad news, Darin. Makes it even worse that he was fighting melanoma at only 27. Would like to pass my condolences.

I'm dreading that part during the funeral. I've been to 2 local LEO funerals and that part always gets me.
