Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Deputy Billy W. McIntosh, in performing your duty while off duty, it showed me what you were truly made of. You kept me safe while I was asleep and while at work. I am but one, but the parish is many and you kept them safe as well. May you be in peace. I will remember your sacrifice, the ultimate price you paid.

Sheriff office to CP113
I need you in route to Nelson & Country Club at
Trinity Baptist Church for and escort
In refrence to Alan Inzer
Escort him to a better place we can only go so far from here

I thank GOD for the rain today because it hides the tears
A brave man is not allowed to cry
A good man is not allowed to bleed
An honest man is not allowed to show fear
A humble man is not allowed to be noticed

I sit here today in my unit and cry in the rain
There is fear in my heart that I can not make a diffrence
I know that you gave your blood to do what was right
And I can promise you are not forgotten

My heart is heavy today not just for Alan but for you
This is somthing that a lawman should not have to experienc in a career let alone twice

I sit in my unit today and share a tear with you and Alan
and I know I'll feel your presence and strenght in church today and even share another tear with you in the rain at the grave of our friend Alan Inzer and I'll be reminded of that hot sunny day we put you to rest so many years ago

Rest in Peace Bill you are still with us
I still think about you sometimes when I am just talking with my hand resting on my gun and the way you would have been standing with your hand pushing down on your gun it was almost sideways as you laughed at the joke you were telling

Till later take it easy

Billy my brother, You paid the altimate price so many years ago and yet it seems like you are still patroling the beat and smiling as you walk the halls. So many times I pass by your picture in the front hall and wonder what you're doing then it hit's me. Your watching over us as you always did. Keep watching over us my brother and we shall meet again some day. God speed.

Hey dad i have to admit it gets harder and harder everyday. I hung a picture of you in Elizabeths room yesterday and couldnt help but shed some tears. I have everything I ever wanted but it would mean so much more if you were hear. Every day i still ask why why did they take you away but i know i will never know the answer. I always miss you dad and i just wish you could come back i still feel your hand on my shoulder every time i get upset. I always said if im half the man that you were id be ok and luckily i have that little girl there to help me get through each day. Me and my brothers seem to grow further and further apart Greg is Following in your foot steps just a little more than before watch over him as he walks the beat i love you dad always look down on me and my brothers and your new grand children elizabeth and zye.

Nine years have passed and you have not been forgotten. My thoughts are with your loved ones today as I know they still think of you each and every day and tears still flow from their broken hearts. Keep watch over them and those still out on patrol. You are a true hero and heroes never die. You will never be forgotten.

Dad its been a while since we last met and a lot has changed. Ive grown from a boy to man and im gladly following in your foot steps i turn 19 next month. Im now happily married to the most beautiful woman in the world and on febuary 12 2006 my first child and your first grand dauther was born shes so cute i wish you could see her. Last july i joined the US NAVY to serve my country and take care of my family as you once did. Everyday i wake up wishing you would have been able to see me grow into a man not much different than yourself. On my graduation i could almost have sworn i saw you in the stand cheering me on. when i joined the navy i felt your hand on my shoulder telling me i was making the right decission, and on my wedding day you were my best man even though no one else could see you. But most of all i could feel your smile as my daughter took her first breath as she came into this world. Dad your always their for me i look up to you as i did when i was a child even today i love you and miss you so much I wish you were still here to tell me itll be ok today. I still remember the last thing you said to me and i know its still true today the last words you sayed to me were" Im proud of you son I love you". I will carry on your legacy no matter were life takes me i proudly call myself your son.

Today on the 9th of jan. 2005, I sit here once again tears falling. I think at times I am over the grief, but I find myself on days like today with tears falling and understanding why. I have gone on with my life to some extent, but I still hope I have made the right decisions, with our family. The boys are so grown up now. But I am sure you know that. I miss you my blue eyed angel, still on my mind and forever in my heart. love your wife

At the beginning of every shift I supervise, myself and the other officers on shift dedicate the day to the memory of a fallen officer.

Today, October 1, 2004 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Deputy Billy Wayne McIntosh who died in the line of duty on this date seven years ago.

When one law enforcement officer falls, we all stumble for a while, but we will carry on.

Deputy McIntosh's sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Dear Bill,

You are gone, but never forgotten. As long as I draw breath I will continue the fight. You and I met an ill fate that night, but you didn't get to go home and I did. At times I blamed myself for your death, but came to realize that our paths had melded into one. I now carry you onward inside of me and to help guide me on. So that we can complete each shift together. And make sure that everyone goes home.

Deputy Christopher R. Smith
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office, LA

THREE WEEKS BEFORE YOUR DEATH WE VOWED NEVER TO MAKE A DECISION ALONE AGAIN AND NOW I FIND MYSELF ALONE MAKING DECISIONS. I ONLY HOPE I HAVE  MADE THE RIGHT ONES FOR YOU AND OUR FAMILY. FOR AS FATE WOULD HAVE IT YOU ARE NO LONGER WITH ME IN BODY,  BUT I FEEL YOUR PRESENCE WITH ME EVERY DAY.  YOU WILL FOREVER BE ON MY MIND AND ALWAYS IN MY HEART MY BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYED ANGEL. ALL MY LOVE FOREVER.

YOUR WIFE
