Brother Derek Owens

I should have put this in the Alpha Phi Alpha forum instead of on News, so I apologize for the duplication. I encourage you to pay your respects to this honorable man who lost his life in the line of duty.

He is a true hero in all respects

This just adds to the tragedy. I'd seen some of the news reports, but did not know he was a bruh. I'm confident Delta Alpha Lambda (Cleveland grad chapter) will reach out and embrace his widow and family.

May God take care of his family and bless the memory of this dear brother.

It sounds like he served his community well. My condolences to his brothers, family and friends.

Officer Owens was laid to rest yesterday, with over 4000 mourners battled a snowstorm to be in attendance.

Over 200 Alpha Phi Alpha brothers were in attendance to honor him in the Omega Ceremony.

The video and photos really tug at your heart http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2008...trolman_d.html

May he rest in peace.
