Most Recent Reflection
View all 16 ReflectionsBrad, I was looking at some old pictures and a video of us when we were maybe 16-17 at the Missouri State Highway Patrol Cadet Summer Academy when our dream was to be a Missouri State Trooper. These were some good times friend. However life took a strange turn when you passed, and I will never forget your funeral when your family allowed me to sit with them in the front row. As I come to the end of my Law Enforcement Career, (2025), I was reflecting on the past and talking about you to the new troops on my platoon, so I decided to make another comment simply to let your family know that Brad was "a good and honorable friend", and I considered him like as a brother. I'm sure that we will meet again in Heaven on that great day. Friends forever Daron Barge
