| Michael, Archangel, Patron Saint of the Police, pray for James |
He was a Marine veteran and dedicated 32 years of his life to law enforcement at various levels.
Police Officials describe James as an excellent deputy and stated that anytime they'd call him, day or night, he would respond. He is also described as kind and compassionate, who treated others as he would want to be treated.
James is survived by many loving friends and relatives including 4 children, 2 step-children and 6 grandchildren.
Pray for all who die in the line of duty.
Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that James Thacker is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
