We are saddened that Edward Rossmeisl passed away, at home surrounded by his wife and children, on Sunday January 15, 2023. He was born in 1953 in Denver Colorado and grew up, with his family, in Castle Rock. Ed's career surpassed forty years in Law Enforcement with the Douglas County Sheriff's Department and the Greenwood Village Police Department. He retired from Greenwood Village as a Police Commander. His passion for law and order and justice was demonstrated daily through the years of his career. Ed mentored many young officers and dedicated his time to others tirelessly with integrity and commitment. He was a defender of the law and of the officers he served with. Ed was preceeded in death by his parents, bothers Robert and Richard and his sister Judy. He is survived by his wife Michelle (Myke) his three daughters Jennifer, Katie and Cari, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

I did not know of his passing. I have many fond memories of my cousin. We did not keep in touch as we should have.

Ed was my commanding officer at the Douglas County Sheriff´s Department from 1977-1982. First and foremost a great mentor, he taught me everything that I know about police work. Ed was a true cop´s cop, and always a consummate professional. My sincere condolences to his wife, Michelle, and their extended family.

Although I didn't work directly in the Greenwood Village Police Department, there were numerous occasions/events that I worked with Ed and Michelle as a member of the Parks Department especially in the beginning of my career at the Greenwood Village Day events. I remember Ed as a constant stellar, calm authority figure and genuinely admired and tried to immulate his leadership. I haven't seen him since he retired but remember the times we worked together with fondness. I believe he will now be over us as a command angel and keep protecting us from high above. Many blessings Michelle he will be missed.

Ed and I served together on the CIRSA Law Enforcement Advisory Board for many, many years. I represented Glendale and then Golden. We shared similar positions and often tag teamed our discussions. He was good people and an excellent police officer. Rest In Peace my friend.

Thank you Ed for the many special memories. Christmases in Castle Rock, back yard barbecues, family times at grandma's house. Thanks for serving our communities in law enforcement the endless and often thankless job you did to make this place a little safer and pleasant to live. We are going to mess you more than we have words for.
