Galatin is a town about 30 minutes north of Nashville.I do the Gallatin beat for my TV station. I am also a Volunteer in Police Service at Gallatin Police Department. I live in Gallatin as well.
Gallatin's police department (in my opinion) is one of the finest in the country...and the reason for that is people like Investigator David Lo.
David had been battling cancer and continued working while on chemo. The Chief even had to make David go home after Gallatin got hit by the big tornado. David was truly committed to his community.
Unfortunatly, David passed away this week...and the community is going to miss him. He left behind a wife and four children.
It really hit me hard when I began to see all the rear windows of the GPD cars marked with David's name and radio number. I arrived at the visitation today to witness "the changing of the guard". Officers flanked both the left and right of his casket. I met many of the people that his life touched. I know that David's wife and children are strong...and they will call on Jesus to bring tham through the tough times ahead. The PD and the community will be there for his family as well.
David always had a smile on his face...and was kind to everyone. Gallatin will never be the same, but his memory will live on in the hearts of everyone he met. It is hard for us, but he is in a better place now.
Rest in Peace David
In His Grip,
Cam
