To Det. Tommy Keen, his family and his fellow officers with the Harris County Sheriff's Department: Wives Behind The Badge, Inc Your heroism and service is honored today, the first anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA poolice officer. Anonymous I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Every time I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the man they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Detective Keen. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. (The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. I can also be found on Face Book.) You will be in my thoughts. Jocelyne Brar (Winnipeg, MB Canada) I've known Tommy for nearly 25 years and I have never met a finer man and investigator. I am proud to have served with Tommy and to have been a friend. Rest in peace, Tommy. We will all miss you! Retired Detective Billy Jones I'm just now writing this to you Darling today is July 21st 2009 many Holidays have come and gone and I just keep waiting for you to walk through the door all scraggily from being at the deer lease. You always made such a big deal of my Birthday which has just passed, I think that's when it finally registered with me, I would never see you again in this life. You are everything all these reflections have said and so much more. I am so blessed of GOD to have had you in my life for almost 30 Wonderful years. Not long enough.I don't know why you left before me. I will never understand why, My Darling what happened?? I've been sitting at the computer for hours trying to get a few words in, I thought I could finally do this but I'm almost drowning in my tears. You are the Best HUSBAND, FATHER, Son, Brother, Uncle etc... I could go on and on and one day you will be the Best Grandfather Angel in Heaven. You are the Love of My Life and always will be. I could have never imagined feeling so loved until I met you. You made me feel like I was the prettiest woman in the room even when it was full of beauty queens. I've been told by so many people that GOD doesn't make mistakes, I can't imagine GOD needing you more than I do. I know I'm not suppose to question but I ask him everyday. I've been told I must go on with my life, I'm doing the best I can. I'm breathing but it's labored. I'm not afraid of death anymore knowing I have you to come to. I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH. Your Wife (JK) I rember the fun I had in classes with you...Thanks for the time you spent with me. PFC Brooks The wicked fleee where no man pursueth, but the righteous are bold as a lion. K.L. I have spent many years taking my kid to the skating Rink Mr. Keen was always there every Friday night Rain or Shine. Mr. Keen and I were both 59 and Vietnam Vets, so we always had things to talk about. Every time I go to the Rink I cannot stop of thinking of Mr. Keen. He was my Friend and a friend to a lot of kids at the Rink. God Speed my Friend. And to His Son and Wife he was a man of Great Integrity & Character. Always remember that he will be missed but never Forgotten. Thanks for looking after my kids. Rick Sloan Oh my gosh, I had not heard that Tommy was gone until today December 3rd. I am so sorry for his loss. He was a great person and I know he will be missed. I knew him from his long time association with Champions Roller World. Jan Trapp Tommy and I worked together for several years. I first met Tom while working Patrol in District 2 in 1980. I had the good fortune of working with Tommy on a couple of cases and found out what a dedicated person and policeman he was. Tom was awarded Detective of the Year in 1981 by the 100 Club of Houston and because of some great creative writing by Tommy Thomas, who was my Captain at the time, and because of the great work that Tommy did on the cases that we worked, I was given the award for Patrolman of the Year the same year. I have to say that being honored with someone of the calibre as Tommy Keen was something that I will always cherish. I later worked with Tom as a Detective and his dedication never waivered. Tom was a good, honest, quiet hardworking man and because he was so quiet and unassuming no one really knows what a hero he actually was. From his two combat tours in Viet Nam to his 35 year career in law enforcement, Tommy was a man among men and will always be revered by me as well as others that knew him. Rest in peace Tom, I look forward to seeing you again. Detective J.R. Hill (Retired) Tommy I miss the talks and laughs we had. i know you are watching down on us. my family and i will miss you. Harris County S.O. Detective Keen, the service you provided to the citizens of Harris county will never be forgotten. Your ability to treat all others fairly and without prejudice are rare these days. Thank you for always being one of the "good ones" and a role model for all law enforcement officers. God bless you and your family, rest in piece brother. Captain Tommy was always helping someone somehow.He was an Rusty Eberhart It has been just over a month now and we still feel your loss. I can not express in so many words what you and your actions have provided for this community. All I can say is that when you left, we all suffered a profound loss....and it echo's still. Police Officer May God lay his healing hand upon the family of Detective Keen and may they know he will never be forgotten. Thank you Detective Keen for your dedicated service to the people of Texas and the United States. James Sheppard My thoughts and prayers are with you. Rest Easy. Cindy, Arkansas May angels lead you in. God bless you and your service, sir. You will never be forgotten. Miranda REST IN PEACE, BROTHER. F OFCR WINSLOW It was truly sad to see this happen to a man that would bend over backwards for anyone who needed help, on or off the job!! I is also very sad to see that not one employee at the Harris County Sheriff's Office wrote any type of reflection for Detective Tommy Keen. This is a man that gave his life to this Department without hesitation and in exchange they gave nothing. This is a great man that was destined for a great retirement and it was all cut short due to a unbelievable accident. I only hope and pray that his legacy will not be forgetton any time soon. HCSO DEPUTY Detective Tommy Keen, your life, service, and the sacrifice you made so that others could be safe are shining examples to those you leave behind. Skip Stocks I THINK YOU FOR YOUR 35 YEARS OF SERVICE. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!! POLICE OFFICER You made the ultimate sacrfice while helping your community during bad times. May you rest in peace and you will not be forgotten. Cpl. Chris Black Godspeed Sir...Go in Peace Ptn. R. Murphy God Bless Detective Keen and his family especially at this time. Thank You for your 35 years of service to law enforcement. You are the true hero........ Jon Lowder, Cpl./ Deputy Sheriff Detective Keen, C. Parlin CCLEA
