To Marie-France, Family Members & Friends, I am a retired member of the Canadian Forces. I understand what it means to bare arms, and to be prepared to defend our country and its citizens. As a member of the OPP, by acting to defend the citizens of Bourget who may have been in danger, Eric made the ultimate sacrifice. I am very sorry for your loss. When I watched the Funeral Service for Sergeant Mueller, I was reminded of my visits to Commonwealth War Graves where many headstones carry this Bible message taken from John 15-13. The headstones of young servicemen read: Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. Thank you Sergeant Eric Mueller for your twenty-one years of dedicated and loyal service. May you rest in peace. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

To the Muller family! I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Eric but I have heard a lot of great things about him.

Les mots me manquent à savoir comment exprimer mes sympathies. Sache, que ta famille pourra toujours compter sur ta "famille en bleue" (OPP). Mon mari était policier et à son départ, tous ces policiers et policières m'ont soutenu durant les moments difficiles. Bon courage à vous tous. Eric est maintenant avec mon amour Guy. Mes pensés sont avec vous. xo

Thank you for your service Sgt. May you rest in eternal peace.

Michael Burton 2023-05-17 08:26:40

I had the honour of working with Eric when he was hired as an officer in 2006. I lost contact with Eric over the years but I will always remember his sincere excitement for his new career and commitment to his communities and coworkers that was evident each and every shift. He was a true gentleman to all around him and I am sure he has made a positive difference in many, many lives - both as an officer and as a tremendous person. I extend my sincere condolences for this senseless, tragic death to Eric's family, friends and those who had the privilege of working with Eric. Rest in peace Eric, you will be missed.

H Cadieux 2023-05-17 07:15:03

Please accept my heart-felt condolences on the loss of Eric to such a senseless tragedy. You are in the thoughts of many who, like me, do not have a personal connection to his passing, just a human one. Take care of each other.

We were so sad to hear of the tragic passing of Sergeant Mueller in the line of duty, at such a young age, and with a young family as well. We can't begin to imagine what you, his family, friends, and colleagues are going through right now, but we hope that knowing that even complete strangers have been touched by what has happened. We are thinking of you and praying for you during this most difficult time and hope it will give you some comfort and peace. We watched the procession from the hospital to the funeral home with tears in our eyes and heavy hearts. Our sincere condolences to you all. RIP Sgt. Mueller. XOXO

As my wife and I stood in honor of Sergeant Muellers procession to Rockland, I can tell you that our eyes were not dry. Seeing such a heart breaking spectacle was emotional and impactful. We were reminded that the police officers who protect our community are our family, neighbors and friends. They are husbands and wives. Sons and daughters. Fathers and mothers. As we grieve the tragic death of Sergeant Ethier, we stand with his family, friends and colleagues. And we pledge that we will not forget.

My Condolences to the family and friends of Eric Mueller. Myself, and my husband David Thompson, both worked alongside Eric at the Prescott O.P.P. Detachment, in Grenville County. Eric was one of those guys, you could never say a bad thing about. Always dependable, professional, determined and pleasant. Society needs more Erics! His passing has left many heartbroken. Words cannot heal this loss, but it’s all we can do. Again, sorry for your tremendous loss.

Robert [Bob] LaFreniere 2023-05-15 17:12:14

I never met O.P.P. Sergeant Eric Mueller, however as a retired member of the Ontario Provincial Police (2011), I have attended several, too many, Police Funerals during my 35 - years of service. As the very proud father of two sons that followed in my footsteps, together with a cherished daughter-in-law, I just needed to say to the Mueller, Ethier and extended families that I share your pain and I am so sorry for your loss. May you all be granted the strength and courage to navigate through this very difficult time in your lives. Please accept my heartfelt words of condolence to you all when I say that to live in the hearts of all those left behind is not to die. Sergeant Mueller is truly a hero.
