Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Sgt. Grigley,
On today, the 25th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the USMC. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Heavenly Father, I come before You today grieved in heart over the divisions in our country; the United States of America. I grieve for every life lost to violence, regardless of color or creed. And I especially grieve this day over the senseless deaths of America’s Peace Officers whose sworn duty is to protect us from harm. Please grant comfort and hope to their families. I know from the Holy Scriptures in Romans 13 that Peace Officers have a sacred task, to enforce laws that protect the innocent and punish the guilty. I pray that You will protect them as they serve us. Give them wisdom, discernment, and a deep desire to serve You. Please surround every Peace Officer in our nation, the United States of America, with battalions of warring angels to protect them from harm. I stand in the powerful and mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ against every work of Satan intended to inflict injury and death on our Protectors. May Satan’s power be thwarted, in Your mighty and holy name, and his plans exposed by Your Light. In the mighty and holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior, our Redeemer, and the Mediator between us, Heavenly Father, in prayer, and by His authority, I pray! Amen.

Please find Encouragement, Comfort, Support, and Hope from God's Word:

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”
[Matthew 5:9 ESV];

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." [Psalm 23:4 ESV];

"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends."
[John 15:13 ESV];

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." [Matthew 5:4 ESV];

"And he [Jesus] said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." [Luke 23:43 ESV], and;

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." [John 3:16 ESV].

I was in Atlanta over the weekend and couldn't help but think of Sgt. Grigley and all the officers who have lost their lives serving and protecting us. Sgt. Grigley enjoyed the work he did. He was kind, respectful and cared about people. Too bad a 16 years old thug has ended the life of a a good human being. Sgt. Grigley, you will never be forgotten.

I was in Atlanta this weekend and couldn't help but think of Sgt. Grigley when I saw so many officers in uniform protecting and serving the citizens of Atlanta. He was dedicated and loved the work he did. So sad he had to go this way. A 16 year old thug up to no good. I wish it were the 16 year old to be honest. Prayers to his family.

RIP Officer Grigley

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 30th anniversary year of your death.
Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

I pray for the solace of all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Wow, my uncle, my hero, my inspiration and my father who i needed. I do not have all the words to tell you how
much what a impact who have been in my life. I appreciate
you how much you cared for my father, the sacrafices my mother made for the family, teaching me about service to my country and about being a man and teaching me about family.

I want to thank everyone who took the time out to reflect on my father's life. He was not only a father and a friend, he was also a hero. He taught me everything i know now, and also to go for what u believe. Im glad to know someone cared and showed respect. He's gone physically,but mentally and spritually he's still here in my heart. I was young when he died, i never got a chance to actually spend my life with him. We shall meet again and we shall walk around heaven together.

May God forever bless the memory of a wonderful individual. During a tour of Atlanta in the 90's Sgt. Grigley was kind enough to show us around the city. He is always remembered in my prayers.
