Although we didnt know the officers personally, we will miss seeing them in the sky. We always felt safe knowing they were there to protect us. My heart goes out to the families. My prayers are with you.

My deepest sympathy go the families of Deputy Blout & Kievernagel and to all law enforcement. We as a community have lost two young, well trained, brave human beings that were dedicated to protect us every minute of every day. My thoughts & prayers are with their partner, as well.

We would like to send our deepest regrets to both the families. Our prayers and hearts go out to you. Trust in God and you will see these two honorable men again. God Bless You.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families at this time of loss. I have family in the department and have worked there myself.

Peace be with you now and with your families.

God Bless you all.

Our heart felt simpathy to the families of Officer Kievernagel and Officer Blount. They were brave men that kept our community safe and they will be remember by all.

Our prayers are with Officer Henderickson and his family. God Bless you and comfort you during this difficult time.

God Bless you and keep you always.

May god comfort and guide all those affected by tragedy. Our dedicated officers continuously put the needs of the public before themselves without thinking twice. They are now home, and in a better place, but will be forever missed. There dedication and service is greatly appreciated. For the deputy in the hospital, our prayers are with him for a full recovery!

My sincere sympathy to the families of Officer Kievernagel and Officer Blount in the loss of their loved ones and to the Sacramento Sheriffs Department in the loss of their friend and comrade.

we all give our thoughts and prays to the family and the sheriffs department and hope for a recovery of the other officer who is still in the local hospital at this time. god bless all officers in the world and families for the two officers. thank you to all the officers and all that they do for us.

Working at McDonald's drive-thru, I heard about this tragedy nearly after it happened. With my family and co-workers, I want to send out our deepest condolences for the fallen heroes. May they rest in peace and may recovery be steadfast. Every night one more deputy comes through my drive-thru during the closing shift, and every night I wish them a safe night. You never know when a tragedy such as this will take place, and I like to send them off with a little prayer or angel, if you will, watching over them. To the families of those lost, may your hearts be eased. Some of you I know and some of you I have grown up with, such as Jeff Wallace. I hope to get to know many more of you and I wish you all well.

Our heart felt simpathy to the families of Officer Kievernagel and Officer Blount. They were brave men than kept our community safe and they will be remember by all.

My heart goes out to the families of the fallen police officers. I know what it is like to suddenly loose a loved one, I lost my husband 5 years ago suddenly while he was at work. My heart also goes out to the police officer on life support still in the hospital. My prayers are with him that he will survive this tragedy that has happened. Everyone in the police department put their lives at risk every day to make Sacramento a safe place to live and when such a tragedy happens it hits all of us in some way. May God be with them always. My prayers are with the families through this tragic time.

Our sympathies to the families and friends of these fine officers. We had the opportunity to participate in a ride-along with one of the Star units in May of 2004. The entire air support crew displayed professionalism, courtesy and the utmost enthusiasm for their work. We learned a great deal from these servants in the sky and we will be forever grateful for all their hard work and dedication in keeping the Sacramento region a safe place for us all! Go with God!

Not many people take time to comprehend the sacrafice and hard work the Sheriff's Dept. give to the community everyday. I admire and honor every single officer as they put their lives on the line. This unfortunate event has hit the community hard and I pray for the families affected by this. God Bless.

My thoughts are with you in this very difficult time. May God Bless you, your families and all who are suffering through this.

God Bless you & your family. May you find peace in knowing that your love one lived each day helping others.

My deepest sympathys go out for the families of Kevin, Joseph and Eric. Also to the Law Enforcement family. Thank you for protecting us.

Our thanks for all the good works the deputies do...and the sacrifices they and their families have made. Our sympathy and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry for what has happened to you. I work at Mercy San Juan Hospital and want so bad to go up and see the one who will stay behind. You will be missed by many for the kindness in your hearts. I will continue to pray for the ones who will be without their loved ones. Rest In Peace. :-(

Thank you so very much for your service and dedication. May God bless you. RIP

It is hard enough that they had to lay thier lives on the line every day to protect us and then this tragic occurance happened. We know God is with them and they will still be looking down on us ffrom heaven to still protect us. Kirk, Kathi, Karli, and Blake

I wish to express my heartfelt condolances to all the family and friends of the two officers tragically lost last week. My Aunt Renee (Sgt Shoemaker) who was a well respected officer in Riverside is on the other side welcoming them home. She will take good care of them.....

Our thoughts and prayers are with your families and the entire department. Your Deputies died in the most noble way, selfless service to others. Having survived the military and a career in law enforcement I fully understand and appreciate their sacrifice. God bless you all.

My family and I want the families and law enforcement of the two officers to know that we are sorry for your loss. To the family of the officer in the hospital we wish speedy recovery for him. GOD BLESS.

Officers Kievernagel and Blount are now our eyes in the sky forever....protecting and serving from above forever.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family members, friends and fellow officers.
I thank you all for keeping us safe.
God Bless You

The following is for the grieving friends and family...

HIGH FLIGHT
By John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth and danced the skies on laughter-slivered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things you have not dreamed of-wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod the high, untrespassed sancity of space, put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

My prayers are with the family, friend and co-workers of the two brave sherriffs who lost their lives doing what they loved. May God grant you peace and comfort at this time of loss.

:-( My prayers goes out to all 3 families. Thank you for many years of protecting our communities. This loss is felt by more people than you will ever know.

DEATH IS NOTHING AT ALL...I have only slipped away into the next room..I am I, and you are you...Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way you always used. Put no difference into your tone; wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect, without the ghost of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near just around the corner...All is well. - Henry Scott Holland (Oxford Professor of Divinity)

I lost my father in a similarly tragic airplane accident and the gave some comfort

Thank You for your years of service. You will be missed and never forgotten. Get well Eric!! Can't wait to have a beer with you again!

Our hearts and prayers are with the families of the fallen, the fellow officers that continue on, and the dispatchers that were working that day. We have worked with your men on occasion,and always appreciated their responsiveness and assistance. You are our cousins from across the river, and you are family. We mourn the loss of the two, and pray for the recovery of the one.
