Our prayers are with the families of the fallen officers and the Sacramento Sheriff's Department. May God guide you through this difficult time. There are not enough words to thank you for dedicating your lives to protect and serve our communities.
Tisha, Nicole and Benjamin

My heart felt condolences to all the families.

As the sister of Lt. Dan Dailey, also with the Sac. County Sheriff's Dept,My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families. You just never realize how important the duty of an officer is. How we take for granted that they will always come home to us, as they are the protectors of everyone. Take care and god bless. I know the department will miss and honor the two hero's the community and families have lost. Best wishes to everyone.

SO LONG FOR NOW

You look so peaceful lying there
With your hands folded upon your chest.
You look like you are sleeping
But you are at eternal rest.
So Long For Now.

Not a hair out of place,
Your make-up nicely done,
A beautiful smile upon your lips -
For now you are with Absalom.
When someone special passes on
It does not mean they are gone,
Though they are no longer with us
Their memory still lives on.
It hurts so much to lose a friend -
Especially one that is trustworthy and kind.
you were that special friend,
A rare and special find.
you will always be with us
In spirit and in mind.
You will always have a special place in our heart
Forever until the end of time.
We will not say "Good-bye".
This is not the end.
So we will just say, "So long..."

Until we meet again.

Please read this poems to the families:

YOUR TRUELY AN ANGELS

You truly were an angel
sent from God in heaven above.
Your shocking death just broke the hearts of everyone you loved.
When we found out that you had died we thought that they were wrong.
You were so alive - and then
just like that, you were gone.
A flame blown out in seconds,
Confirming our worst fears -
A light that shines no more on earth
for which we shed many tears.
But still you are my beacon
And I need you right now.
You hear all the prayers we say
Because they are answered somehow.
we wish that you could be here,
But in a way you are.
Your symbol of a rose goes everywhere with me,
so we know you can't be far.
It still is quite a shock to me
that you had to die;
But no one will forget you
And we love you, and goodbye.

NO TEARS PAST THE GATE

Someone new has entered our eternal home above
The heavenly gate has opened wide
to welcome one you love.
We cannot help the tears that fall
our hearts need time to grieve
when earthly life has ended
and a loved one has to leave.
Yet even in the saddest time,
we know our Savior lives,
and we can trust completely
in the promise that He gives
that in a glad reunion with the lord
our loved ones wait
to welcome us in joy
with no more tears beyond the gate.



The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning that God

Was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

You did not go alone;

For part of us went with you,

The day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories,

Your love is still our guide;

And though we can not see you,

You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,

And nothing seems the same;

But as God calls us one by one,

THE CHAIN will link again.

These poems seem to fit and I wish to extend my deepest sympathys to families and friends of all the officers. I will keep all of you in my prayers. And for Officer Henrickson, may you have a full and speedy recovery.

The song HERO by Mariah Carey is perfect for 2 of Sacramento’s finest; you will always be in my heart and thoughts.
God Speed to Joseph and Kevin.

HERO...

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you.

my prayers are with the familys of Kevin and Joseph. I pray God will help everyone to find comfort in knowing they are in a better place. I know they will be dearly missed. I also pray Eric will have a complete recovery. Now Kevin and Joseph are god's angles and they can watch over all of us for an interity. God bless to all Debbie

May God bless the two heroes who paid the ultimate price. We pray for the officer who is fighting for his life. Our hearts go out to the families of these heroes.

Those who bloom in the hearts of others never fade away...May the families, co-workers and community find comfort & strength in their memories.

The Jackson Rancheria Tribal Police Department offers our deepest sympathies to the Kievernagel & Blount families for the tragic loss of thier loved ones & to the Sacramento Sheriff's Department for the loss of two dedicated police officers. We wish a swift recovery for Deputy Henrikson. Our prayers are with him also. Our entire department shares your loss.

As the wife of a Sacramento County Deputy Sheriff, my life was personally touched by this tragedy. My husband rushed to the scene as soon as he heard what happened, even though he was off duty. I am amazed by the strong bond the the Deputies share, it is truly inspiring. My condolences and prayers go out to both families.

I am so sorry to have lost two aawesome public servants. The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department is honored to have such staff. As a friend of the Eric Henrickson family, I have watched the proceedings for the last 7 days and the support the family has been given by fellow sheriffs is awesome. Please pray for Eric.

it is very hard loosing a loved one. But to loose 2 people that fight for the protection of not just there family, but for every family in the county and city is a great loss. Not just to there families, but to all the families they have protected in there time of service. They will both be missed. And to the family of the officer that is fighting for his life. Always remember that God has a plan for that person. And he has fulfilled that plan to the best of his ability by protecting your family and God's family. He will recover and be better than he was before. God Bless all of the families that were affected by this tragedy.

The Jimenez Family feels your loss and are prayers are with you. From Officers R.Jimenez,Eureka P.D.(Ret.),Officer B.Jimenez,CHP (Ret.)Officer P.Jimenez,Humboldt State Univ.P.D.,Deputy M.Jimenez,Sonoma Co.Sheriff, Deputy P.Jimenez,Humboldt Co.Sheriff.

very brave officers,very valuable to all of us..even those of us not convinced that a loving god would have wanted them to die like this...

I'm so saddened by your loss. I'm the mom of a police officer, the aunt to a recently fallen CHP officer and also privileged to be the "adopted" mom to a number of "sons and daughters" who are in local law enforcement agencies across the State of California.

I grieve with you all and know first hand the loss you are struggling to come to grips with. You have my prayers and my support!

As former Sacramento County residents, we were always appreciative of everything law enforcement did to protect us. Whether it be protecting us from the sky or ground. It is with great sadness to learn of the deaths of Deputy Kievernagel and Deputy Blount. Our deepest sympathies go out to their family, friends, and fellow officers. We pray that they rest in peace. And to Deputy Henrikson we pray that you make a full and speedy recovery. God Bless all law enforcement officers, whether human or K-9, and especially those who died serving our community.

Our hearts go out to the Family, Friends, and fellow officers of the sheriffs dept. and other agencies. You are in our prayers and thank you for all you do and will do in the future for the knowing we are safe when you are on the job.

Growing up on the bluff since the 70's I have always heard the Sherrif's helicopter above and many times their spotlight would shine into my bedroom and wake me up, but I was never bothered by that in fact I felt safer when I knew they were up there. And on the day that Joe and Kevin were killed once again I could hear the helicopter above, myself living again one street away from where they crashed. Its a terrible feeling when you know that someone has gone down especially when you know that they were always up there to protect you. My prayers go to the family of Joe and Kevin and also for Eric and his family.

I watched the helicopters fly by my house this afternoon and my heart went out to everyone at that church and all around Sacramento who knew or worked with these men. My thoughts and prayers with their friends and families in this rough time. I know what it feels like to lose someone so quickly, and how hard the road ahead can be. Joe and Kevin will be remembered and I pray for Eric and his struggle. May you all find peace in such a terrible tragedy. My heart goes to all.

Our familey feels your loss and greives with you and all in law enforcement on this day.

May they rest in peace. God Bless the families, friends, and fellow officers. I will keep all of you in My prayers.

The families and friends of Deputies Kievernagel and Blount are in our thoughts and prayers. Wayne is retired law enforcement and our son Erik is a Sacramento City police officer. When an officer dies in the line of duty, we all feel the loss. God bless all of you.

Bless all of the families involved. Its hard losing a fellow comrad and brother;however, we know they were doing what they liked to do. I bet that is all they could have asked for.
All your families are in my thoughts and prayers.

Just remember: If GOD leads you to it, he will lead you through it. This will be a rough time, but keep the faith.

Remember all the good memories and what it meant for them to be police officers.

I want to send the deepest sympathy out to the families of these fallen officers. I want to say to the Blount family that my prayers are with you and that Kevin was a great guy and is still doing what he loves know matter where he is. I have known you all since I was a child and I wish nothing but the best for you all. Laura I wish you well and will have you in my prayers. Adam you and your children are always in my thoughts and prayers. Your brother was a great man and I know that he loved you all.

On behalf of the Allen/Clark family, thank you guys, job well done! The Lord is my Sheppard; I shall not want. He maketh me lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me down the path of Rightousness for His name's sake. Yeah though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death; I will fear no evil, for though art with me. Thy Rod and Thy Staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou annointest my head with oil. My cup runneth over! Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever. God's peace be on you both and your families.

:-( I'm a New Yorker, that has 6 NYC officers as cousins, and i fear that one day I will get a call saying that something has happen to them. as of now i have not, and that's a blessing, I have a 6 year old son, the both of us were there this morning, and was sad that we were unable to attend the service. I am very sorry for both the families lost, it is good to know that they are in a better place now free of crime and danger. They were called home. God Bless the Families and the law their co-workers :-(

Our heart felt condolences to the family, friends, and the entire Sheriff's department for a loss shared by everyone, we are often serenaded by the "Buzz buzz of the surveillance helicopter overhead every other night... the dedication is appreciated."


Take comfort in the promise of a ressurection @ "ACTS:24:15, be assured of our love.

I believe I was fortunate enought to have flown with both of these outstanding gentlemen. As a member of the Drowning Accident Rescue Team, I have been tranported on several occassions by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office Aviation Unit. These fine folks have always shown extreme professionalism. They even took the time out of their day to allow my 3 boys to visit the helicopter at Mather. This is a day that my sons will never forget. They still talk about sitting inside of that helicopter with star struck eyes. My family and I offer our most sincere condolences. We will be saying many prayers for your loved ones.
