Condolences

Our heartfelt prayers are with you Kent and your dear family. We did not have the honor to meet you but we have heard so many wonderful things about you. We feel that we can add you to the list of many brave and wonderful police officers we know. You will not be forgotten that we know for sure after seeing all the wonderful people that lined the the streets in Puyallup just for you. We stood across the street with our small grandson and looked across to the entire student body of Kalles Jr. High. You would have been so proud of all those young adults that came out in the rain to honor you and your family. Kent you have and will continue to touch many many lives. Our little grandson will not remember but we will tell him of your bravery and sacrifice and how proud of you and your fellow officers we are and always will be. God Bless you and your family.

My heartfelt oondolences to the Mundell family as well as to the Pierce County Sheriff's Department. I live in Florida and was home to Puyallup over Christmas when this senseless act occured. I pray for peace and strength for the Mundell family.

To the Family of Deputy Mundell,

Our thoughts and prays are with you. Deputy Mundell will not be forgotten and we will celebrate his service to the community and his dedication to his family.
God Bless,
The Coppedge Family

Oh deepest regrets to your family in this time of lost, our family wants to thank you for the sacrifice your loved one made to protect us. You and your family our in our thoughts and prayers.

A few months ago, Deputy Mundell took a report and investigated a home burglary that occurred at our place along Webster Rd. Afterward he chatted about similar cases in the area and mentioned that after he and his wife had left a theater, they found that there car had been stolen from the parking lot. He appeared to be in no rush to leave and we chatted for awhile. After that, I felt that we were neighbors and friends. So much so that upon learning of his injuries, I wept and prayed for him and his family. Now I am very saddened and feel the loss of a good man.
May God bless and uphold his family, including the rest of the PC Sheriff's department, especially the Mountain Detachment.
Kent, you are already missed to a very large degree.
Thank you for your help.

My deepest condolences for your loss. Although I did not know Deputy Mundell, I have been privileged to hear stories of the many ways he touched people's lives from those who love and cherish him. It's been an honor to get to know him in this way. He truly made a difference while he was here. I am so sorry for your loss and my prayers are with you. I will not forget him.
In sympathy,

Our condolences are with you and your family

We remember many times both of you visited the South Hill branch of 1st Security Bank! Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Kent, thank you for all your dedication and support to the community! You are in a better place, a beautiful place with no hurts or troubles. To the rest of the family, hold onto the memories...each and every one and know our prayers are with you!

To the Mundell family,
Our hearts are heavy and we grieve with you. We met Kent on several occasions as he spoke to our daughter in our home, trying to encourage her, help her, redirect her from a disease that had stolen so much joy from her life. He was a professional, gentle, but firm in his approach.
May God lift you up in this time.

Our prayers and thoughts are for you and the family. May God keep you the hallow of His Hand.

Thank you for your service Officer Mundell.

This letter was emailed to me the day I lost my Mother and because of my faith I knew she was with my Father now. I hope this will give you a tiny bit of peace.

To my dearest family and friends some things I’d like to say.
But first of all to let you know, that I arrived okay.

I’m writing this from heaven, where I dwell with God above.
There are no more tears of sadness, there is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I’m out of sight.
Remember that I’m with you every morning and night.

That day I had to leave you, when my life on Earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and said, “I welcome you.”
As for your friends and family, they’ll be here later on.

God said “I need you here badly, you’re part of my plan.
There is so much that we have to do to help our mortal man.”

God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night, the day’s chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you…..in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you’re only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all what God has planned. If I were to tell you,
you wouldn’t understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over. I’m closer to you now, than I ever was before.

When you’re walking down the street and you’ve got me on your mind,
I’m walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

There are many rocky roads ahead for you and many hills to climb,
but together we can do it, taking one day at a time.

And when it’s time for you to go…..from your body to be free.
Remember your not going….you’re coming here to me.

Dear Lisa and family. We met you and Kent so long ago, you came to pick up Karmen to go skiing. I remember Kent as being a very nice guy. after his injury we prayed for him, and your family. we send our prayers to you now. we are very sad for your loss. Nadine Porter and famiy

Dear Lisa and kids,

Many years ago, Scott worked with Kent at Princeton. For over a year Kent got off of graveyard shift and then worked several hours during the day helping start our contracting business. I will always remember when Kent learned how to do a sink repair... all of my makeup was melted by the time Scott and Kent left the bathroom sink area, they had used a heat gun, and not noticed everything they were aiming it at. It was so funny, seeing the look on their faces, when they realized what they had done. Kent always had a smile on his face and a willingness to help others. He will be missed by all that knew him.

I wasn't privileged to know your husband, but I do know many of the deputies at the South Hill Headquarters. The men and women who protect us everyday need our support and respect.
My heart is broken for you and your family, and may God give you strength in your time of need.
Please know there are many in the community who do value and respect what your husband and many others do each and everyday, God Bless the Mundell family, and God Bless and keep Kent Mundell.

Bob & Pat Stuczynski

GOD BLESS YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY. THEIR ARE SPECIAL PLACES IN HEAVEN FOR POLICE OFFICERS THAT ARE KILLED PROTECTING ALL OF US.

THE KAY, SPENCER AND SELLERS FAMILIES

Lisa, I am so sorry about your loss. I have been thinking and praying for you and your family ever since I heard about this unfortunate tragedy. Hope that you and your family will get some peace after this because you truly deserve it. Donna

I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to the family of Deputy Kent Mundell. I'm so sorry for your loss. What a difficult time it is when we lose a loved one in death. Kent's kindness and devotion to the community was much appreciated. Deputy Mundell will be greatly missed. How we appreciate the sacrifices and the risks our sheriffs make in our behalf. To help us cope with our loss, God's Word gives us comfort. Revelation 21:4 says, "And he (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will morning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." We look forward to this time when God's promise is, no more pain, suffering, or death.

Again, my deepest sympathies to the family of Deputy Kent Mundell.

Sincerely,

Vaughan Amende

Lisa and family - Having gone to school with you both although it was many years ago, the loss hit home even closer. (My husband works for Puyallup PD.) I hope that time and the wonderful memories will mend your pain. If there is anything at all we can do to help, please let me know. He will be missed by many but not be forgotten. He gave the ultimate sacrifice and it is appreciated. I wish I had words to ease your pain. Sending a big hug and prayers,
Dan and Cathy Pashon

We are so sorry for your loss. Kent was so engaging and friendly, it was always so much fun talking with him. We admire the way that he made sure to give the kids his full attention, whether it was cheering them on during practice or a game, or simply listening to them. That is something seen so rarely these days, and it was truly heartwarming and inspirational.
He was a true hero in every sense of the word. May God bless and comfort your family.

Barrett, Amy, Brandon, and family

Lisa & family,

We will miss Kent more than you will ever know. We had a lot of fun together and made a lifetime of memories. We were lucky to know Kent and we are honored to call him our friend. We will remember Kent daily and smile remembering all the good times we had together. We look forward to the future, having fun, and making many more memories with you and your family. We will always be here for you.

Always your friends
Don, Theresa, Mike, and Chris.

My hear goes out to Kent's family and friends. He has always been just of wonderful spirits. We went to Aylen JR. High together and he sure was a popular student and I was not so. Kent always had nice things to say to me and would talk to me which for a lot of days it made it okay to go through the day's who he was live on for always.

I am so sorry for all of our miss fortune to have to say good by to another outstanding person. For keeping us all safe,sorry we couldn't keep you safe. We are so sorry to his family. We give you much love and support. Best Wishes,

Rachel Niehaus and family

Our hearts are broken..but not our spirit. We will all miss Officer Mundell. He was a very special man to many. Let us all unite in prayer for him,his family and friends.

Our condolences to the Mundell family and especially to Mother Pat. We are thankful for all those that serve to protect us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

It seems that the light at LA Fitness has dimmed appreciatively. Kent was always so kind and encouraging to me over the years since I first met him at PAC. In every conversation he managed to find a way to mention his kids. I also knew there was a good chance he would be the first responder if I had to call in an issue from my neighborhood. When that happened I learned that he was a bulldog while still being kind and considerate.
The future is always difficult to view from here. Please believe that the groundwork he provided will find a way to sustain all of you.

Our deepest & heartfelt condolences go out to the Mundell family. We are very blessed to have known such a brave & courageous Officer. He touched our hearts in a very special way & are very thankful for keeping our community safe. Kent two thumbs up Buddy & enjoy your flight with the Angels.

You will always be remembered.
Thank you for protecting our community.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Mundell family at this time and may you cherish all the good times you had. We didn't know officer Mundell. but probably passed his car at the bakery on our way through Eatonville. We hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and no other officer will lose their life in a senseless killing! Peace be with you. Chuck & Jan Anderson, Packwood, Wa.

Our condolence to the family of Kent Mundell, He will be greatly missed by us and all our employees

My condolences goes out to the Mundell family and the Law Enforcement community. We have lost another member of the Law Enforcement family by a unspeakable act by another foolish criminal element.
Sincerely,
Kurtis Wells

I didn't know Deputy Mundell but my heart aches for his family as well as the community who lost an amazing person. Thank you Deputy Mundell for your many years of serving and protecting us.

Our heartfelt condolences for your loss. The sacrifices made every day by our brave law enforcement officers is deeply appreciated. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Even though I didn't know Deputy Kent personally I still feel like I lost someone very close to my family and me. He's in good hands now, he's with God! You and your family are in my prayers.

God Bless You!

To the Mundell family,
My mom, Dolores Rupp and I, Terri (Rupp) Sichmeller would like to offer our heartfelt condolences to you at this time of sorrow. I (Terri) have learned in my lifetime and of experiencing the death of my son, that the sorrow will diminish in time and you will be left with a lifetime of warm and loving memories of Kent. The outpour of support we pray will help you on this journey.

Our prayers & hearts go out to the Mundell family. May God watch over you in the days to come and give you strength.

It is with a deep sense of sadness that we send our condolences to you, Lisa and family. I retired before Kent started with Pierce County, but want you to know, through this tragedy, we have come to know who Kent was and what a huge void this leaves for you and all of your family, as well as the police officers and friends for the rest of their lives. Please know we will be praying for you daily and may GOD give you peace and rest knowing so many have you in thought and prayer.

To Lisa and family,
I can offer nothing more to you and your family than the kindness and friendship Kent gave to my family. If you need anything please call.

A hero...who, in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, displays courage and the will for self sacrifice...

Officer Mundell was a true hero. Our deepest sympathy to his family, friends and coworkers. Know this hero will continue to watch over you forever. God Bless Officer Kent Mundell.

Lisa, It's so hard to try and put into words what I/we are thinking/feeling, We are going to miss Kent sooo much! We love your whole family more then I think we even realized.(shouda, coulda, woulda, I sure wish we'd gone out to that dinner we talked so many times about doing! Not that we still can't ! ) Please remember if there is something even the littlest thing you need done... you know our number. Take care!

Love, Erv & Cindy : )

To the Mundell Family

We may never know the depth of your sorrow or the full extent of your pain but I can assure you, each one of us who share his uniform will continue to go out into the night, to face and defeat the evil that lurks in the shadows on his behalf. We will each, draw strength from his memory, and kindness from his heart. We will prevail for him, and because of him, for each of us is a better person for having simply met him.
May god bless each of you in this most difficult time.

I am sorry for your lost. I just lost my mother on Thanksgiving day and I am still trying to get control my crying. Everyone keeps telling me that the Holidays are the hardest but it will get better. But I think is they are right about the Holidays and yea it will get better but you will never forgot them. In your heart they will always be there. I have found this poem on the net. I read it on my mom's. I hope you like it:

I Am Always With You



When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears,
But be thankful we had so many good years.
I gave you my love, and you can only guess
How much you've given me in happiness.
I thank you for the love that you have shown,
But now it is time I traveled on alone.
So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
That it is only for a while that we must part,
So treasure the memories within your heart
I won't be far away for life goes on.
And if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear
And then, when you come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home".

And again I am very sorry for your lost.
Frieda Bush

Mundell Family,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathies. There are no words that can be said to ease the pain. I went to High School with Kent and will always remember him for his smile and his very easy going attitude. He made a difference in this world. He will be missed.

I worked out with Kent both at PAC and then at LA Fitness, although he made it in the gym more often than I did! It was always good to see his face and to catch up with him. I was selling Real Estate for most of that time so he would often talk about his mom, since she sold real estate as well. He would also talk about not getting his boat out as much as he wanted to, among other things, and of course, he would always talk about taking his kids to all of the BMX events! It was obvious to me how much his family meant to him. I ran into him down in Sumner this past summer at the BMX track. I remember his daughter saying "Dad, you know someone everywhere we go"! THAT TO ME is a testimony to who Kent was. He had such a great personality and could talk to and be a friend to anyone. I will truly miss him, and our talks, as will so many others. My heart goes out to his family.....John

I pray for strength and peace to your family through this time and years to come. I would like to thank you for sharing Officer Mundell with the rest of us. God Bless you and keep you strong.

Lisa,
We are praying and thinking of you in this difficult time.
May God's peace and love comfort you, give you strength, and
take care of you and your family.
With sincere condolences,
Jim & Michelle Werner
(your grandma's next door neighbors)

Lisa and family
It was an honor and privilege to care for Kent and you. I am in awe of your strength and love for one another and I think Kent would be so proud of all of you. Words cannot express how sorry I am for all of you or for how much you touched my heart.
Love Always
Marnell

To the Mundell Family

My thoughts are with all of you, I worked with Deputy Mundell at REG Longston Place 14, we shared lots of stories, such as the time when he would be so proud of his family and children, his son going BMX racing. his daughter getting older, his wife getting the dispatch job near Federal Way. One of my favorite stories was what he was going to do to his neighbors when they go on vacation. I'm sure he will have a pink flamingo near by. With my thoughts to the family, Deputy Mundell will truly be missed, however never forgotten.

Tina Dougherty

Dear Mundell Family:

Just remember Deputy Mundell may be gone from our sight, but never our memories and gone from our touch, but never our hearts.

R.I.P. Deputy Mundell, you will be missed.
