Reflections for Officer Lowell Clayton Tribble

My father and my hero.I have so many good memories. Your advice, guidance and life lessons are still with me today. Some how your character and sense of humor showed up in my child even though he never met you. In his daughter's eyes he is their hero.
Every August is so sad for me. I mourn the entire month. I miss you the same as I did in 1983.
You are in my thoughts every day. The pain is the same. I just had to learn to live with it .

I remember you well, you were a good
Friend and policeman, I can’t believe
Your killer is still free, Pray before my
Time ends they find him
RIP my friend, I never forgot you
Or your death, God still be with your
Family

Whether your assailants are caught and face justice here or not, they will surely face a much higher justice at a later time. Rest in peace always knowing that your service and sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten by your law enforcement brethren.

I remember the night this happened. I was 17 years old and asleep when the phone rang for my dad late at night waking everyone up. He was a detective for Farmers Branch PD. Ive seen him run out the door a few times but this was different. He jumped in his unmarked car parked in front of the house and screamed off. I'll never forget that night. Sad
