Over twenty years ago I worked at the U Of R as a Security Officer. I met and made many friends with many officers from all the local PDs. One of the one I became closest to was an RPD Officer named Sonny Chung. He and I became good friends and remained in contact even when he transferred to Gates PD. He was in a MVA on September 15, 2002 and was critically injured and for a time we weren't sure he would make it. He recovered and while he was not able to return to work due to his ibnjuries he was still a walking miracle. It devastated me when that happened as he was like my little brother, but was grateful that he survived. I now work for Gates and saw Sonny regularly as he would come to the PD to visit. Today, while I was out of town preparing to attend the second funeral for a fallen LEO in as many days, I received the terrible news that Sonny was walking and was struck by a car and killed. Obviously, I returned home and I miss Sonny so much and his smiling face that was always there. Rest in Pece Sonny, I know you are up in heaven lokking down on all of us and watching out for us.

Sorry for the lose of your friend! Prayers go out to you and his family and friends. Remember life is precious! Make each day count.
