Those who knew slain U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency officer Mike Garbo say he was fiercely committed to his job, which was taking down “bad guys.”
Anyone in law enforcement who needed his advice knew Garbo as a “go-to guy.” To be like Mike was a goal in itself, they said.
“He was a leader, a mentor, and a man who inspired others,” Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus said at a funeral service for Garbo at Calvary Chapel in Tucson, Arizona, on Oct. 8.
“He was … the best kind of cop,” Magnus said.
More than 100 friends, family members, and law enforcement officers were gathered inside the chapel to remember Garbo as a devoted father, husband, and defender of justice.
