Wenjian Liu Obituary
A second officer in the patrol car, Rafael Ramos, also was fatally shot.
Late Saturday night, President Obama condemned the “murder of two police officers in New York City,” noting that officers who serve their communities “deserve our respect and gratitude every single day," according to the New York Times. "Tonight, I ask people to reject violence and words that harm, and turn to words that heal — prayer, patient dialogue, and sympathy for the friends and family of the fallen.”
Liu is survived by his wife.

Our deepest sympathy to the Liu family on the untimely loss of Wenjian.
You are not alone, although we did not know you in life, we have met you in death. I come from a family of Police Officers and I know what it is to lose a loved one. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.
"His love lives on
in the lives he touched
with his gentle, caring way.
In the words he spoke,
in the hearts he warmed,
in the joy he brought each day."
Rest in Peace, one of New York's finest.

The range of services that police provide is vast. Mr. Liu made ( and other fellow officers) our streets safe. Some have handled situations from rescuing a cat in a tree to rescuing hostages from terrorists and confronting bank robbers. Even attend to a sudden death, a traffic accident, a crime, and a confused elderly person in need of help. We are so thankful for dedicated public servants. May you all have… “kindness and mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord,” during this difficult time. -- (1 Timothy 1:2) You all are in our prayers.

These are indeed critical times hard to deal with that we live in today. There is no natural affection even for those who have vowed to serve and protect us. Only God can correct the wrong. Only our Heavenly Father can usher in a world whereby only persons who possess deep love and affection for both God and neighbor will be law-abiding, peaceful citizens of His Kingdom. Only God can grant Officer Wenjian Liu's loved ones peace of heart, soul, and mind during the difficult time ahead. My prayer is that He grants me, in His appointed time, a response to my humble plea. Heartfelt condolences coupled with deep sorrow for those he leaves behind.
