Stephen

It has taken me awhile to write this to you. You were one of the best true friends I have ever had in my life. I really look up to you as a fellow peace officer, husband, father, grandfather and fellow brother in Christ. Your passing left a real void in my life that I will never get back. I think about us having coffee everyday and just sitting around talking about work, home life, off duty work and many other things. I miss you everyday bud. I think about you all the time. I know you are an angel and watching over your men and woman at the Somervell County Sheriff’s Office. Love you Stephen. Till we meet again. God Bless
