You had already served your Country in the United States Army. You were, a Decorated Veteran. By all accounts, you were a good son and good friend. Your entire life, you stood up for those who, could not stand up for themselves. In 2022, you started the arduous process to become a Texas State Trooper. The long and tedious background investigation, cognitive tests, physical and psychological tests all to be accepted into what is arguably, one of the most difficult, respected and revered Law Enforcement Academies in the United States. After miles and miles of running (mostly up hill), thousands of push ups, numerous academic and physical tests, coupled with the inescapable Texas weather, you were among the few who stood steadfast and earned the right to be, a Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper. Your Class graduated in 2023 and before you knew it, you were out there on the loneliest of Texas Highways and F.M. Roads near the Odessa area of our great state. You rode many a mile. Helping others. Protecting everyone. Leading, by example. You absolutely exemplified the Texas DPS mantra of Courtesy. Service. Protection. On September 17th 2024, while conducting a motor vehicle crash investigation, you were struck by another motor vehicle, causing critical injuries. A gallant fight like no other, you fought for your life. Through the long and difficult hours to come, from the First Responders on scene to the Hospital Staff and Doctors, many tried their absolute best to help you beat the odds. Some, might question why you had to die. Other might say, your passing was "senseless" or "shouldn't have ever happened." I can only respond with, it's been my observation and experience that no Law Enforcement Officer ever lost their life in the Line of Duty for any other reason than this... They gave their lives so that others might live. This is not just some old "saying". It is in fact, a way of life. Everyone who takes an Oath to wear a uniform and serve their Country or their Community knows this ideology be true. People such as you, should not be solely remembered for how tragically they died. But, for how brilliantly and gallantly they lived. And your name, Trooper Keven Ramirez Vasquez, shall never be forgotten. Just as all those who came before you. God's Grace, Mercy and Speed Troop.

Had the opportunity to be the Keynote for the annual Penlink training summit. Enjoyed the opportunity to keep Jared’s memory alive.
