Brother, its been 2 1/2 years since our Dad past away and around 6 years since Mom past away. Its been 2 1/2 since our youngest Brother Junior past away. Anthony has serve in the US Marine Corps, been to Afghanistan more than once and Lyman also served in the US Army and came back from Afghanistan. It seems like you left us yesterday, when I go to the mountains or I see a Navajo Police Officer I think of your presence. Me & Ervin talk about you and the good times when we were growing up herding sheep in the mountains with Grandma. I name my oldest Son Elliot Samuel Redhouse who was born 06/11/1997 and your DOB was 06/12/63 a day apart. At least Junior is there talking with you. Things were never the same after you left, only in my dreams I communicate with you and your always happy and humble, someday will meet again in the future. Take care Shinaa'i & may you be with The Navajo Warriors & Chiefs.

You are a hero, you were a very humble person, I met you through my brother who has traveled home 17 years ago. Rip to the both of you.

As I woke up this morning thinking about this day 24 years ago, I didn't have a clue what that day would bring. When the sun set on February 17th, 1997, the absence of your physical presence was being mourned. You are not forgotten.

If I could have one more moment with you again dad, I'm not sure that I could take it or withstand the pain. As a moment is not long enough and I don't think I honestly could. To lose my dad a second time if he couldn't stay alive. My heart hurts. It has been a long 23 years, 1 week and 3 days learning how to live without your physical being here with us. But I have gained strength and courage to continue living on. I have made a commitment to take whatever lessons you taught me and make it true in my own life. You are truly missed and I sometimes only think of the 'what ifs' and 'could haves'. You are not forgotten.

I met you summer of 89. On the dawn of 2.17.97, you came to me in a dream I guess it was your way of saying good-bye. You were a charismatic person and a hero. You'll never be forgotten. J

I’m sad to read of Sam’s death. I served with him in the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton with 7th motor and always admired his respect of the Navajo people. He was a great marksman as I remember it.
Was just sitting here and a memory of him popped into my head and I googled his name after all these years, think last time I saw him was 1985.

Years go by but we’re constantly aware of your absence. Our lives go on but nothing is ever the same. We hide our heartache when someone speaks your name. Silent are the tears that fall. With love in our hearts, you will forever remain. We miss you.

My thoughts turn to you today, the sorrow is still present. You were my best friend and miss you dearly. You always looked out for me, always there to offer guidance in any way. Tears still flow, treating my sorrow and grief. Just as you had left for the military years ago. Like you said, miles and miles apart, we'll always be heart to heart. Someday we'll meet again.

Missing you, friend

We still miss you just as much today as we did the day you died. Losing you was painful, but the biggest challenge was learning to live without you.

In our hearts, there will always be a place - you are there, keeping us safe. It's filled with love and happy memories. Remembering you is easy, we do it everyday but missing you is a heartache that never goes away.

You are missed each and every day, for you were dearly special, who meant more than words can express.

Final Call
An Angel In The Sky Must Leave His Place Of Rest,
Gently Tucking His Wings Beneath His Armored Vest.
For Duty Has Called, There Is Much Work To Do
Little Did He Know, This One Is Dressed In Blue.
Arriving On The Scene, He Knows Just What To Say,
Follow Me, Fallen Brother, I'll Show You The Way.
Your Duty Has Ended, Your Work Is Now Through.
Come Hand Your Hat Beside Mine. I'm A Cop, Too.

You were someone who brightened up the darkest days for me. You made each of us smile. You meant so much...They say in time it gets easier. But I believe its not true, because even after all this time. My heart still aches with sadness. And tears still flow. I'll forever cherish all the memories of you. You were my dearest friend. I even travel to Washington, DC, to the National Law Enforcement Memorial. And I'll truly agree, with the engraving of the statue within the park, that states:

It is not how these officers died that made them heroes. It is how they lived.

You touched so many lives and in my heart, you will live forever.
