Still reeling from the loss of our brother Stewart Beasley, K9 Officer Johnny Almendarez #144 was found unresponsive at his home early this morning. Herculean efforts were not able to overcome the possible cardiac event and another of our brothers is Home. Thank you for remembering the family in your prayers. Arrangements are under the care of Crespo & Jirrels, and we will share details once arrangements have been finalized. Rest well my brother Johnny, you served well sir and will not be forgotten. We have the watch sir. ACDW
