My brother was one of Frank's best friends. I never met Frank, but I realize how gravely he will be missed. I see how much my brother misses him already. I wish there was something I could do to ease the pain, but I know that there isn't. So I sincerely want to send all my hopes and prayers to the Denzinger Family. May God bless each and every day for you.

Today my heart weeps for the loss of a Brother Officer and Friend. My heart weeps for his wife and child. I shall not weep long, for he is with GOD guarding the gates to heaven. His brotherhood is one of the largest and Tara and Avery shall not want for anything....They are our family now. Frank will not worry but continue his watch over them with our help on earth. We love you all......

Anytime an officer falls in the line of duty this country is just a little worse off as we have lost one of the few and brave that is willing to put their life on the line everyday for those who for the most part do not appreciated or think they need them. A thankless task but one that every officer bears with pride and now we, your community, your department, your State and our Country has one less officer to answer the roll call to preserve and protect this community. Words never full express the lost one feels, however Tara I pray that you and you alls daughter find comfort in your faith, as well as in the love of your family and friends and most of all in knowing that there are countless unseen people who also weep at the lost of Frank. I have felt the anguish of lost when a close friend and a fellow officer was slain and the heart wrenching pain of going to too many police funerals as a officer in honor of Frank I salute him and you. God bless and comfort you in your hour of need.Semper FiBobby GoinFlorence, South Carolina

May God comfort the family, friends, and co-workers of Deputy Denzinger and keep them always in His care. Frank saved two lives that night; he did not die in vain. He is now a deputy for God, looking out for all his sister and brother officers and his family. May his daughter grow up to know what a great hero her daddy was. Bless you and thank you, Deputy Denzinger.
