I remember when Scott, WIP, and I used to hang out in the Army. I used to make fun of Scott for being an old man... he was 26. He always looked out for us like a big brother would. I miss the rare friendship we had and wish I could look him up today.

Scott was my best friend from the time that we were about 11 and 12 until about 19 and 20. We were roommates, we both worked for his father, we used to cruise around town in his white Mazda pick-up truck listening to Def Leopard Hysteria. We went through good and bad times together. The last time that I saw him and talked to him was at my wedding in 89. After that we lost contact with each other. Although we hadn't seen each other or talked in so many years I felt like he was always there with me, like we were connected. When I heard of his death, and then confirmed it, I felt like part of me was ripped apart. I wish so badly to have him back in my life. So many times he was my strength when I felt like I had no one else. I would love to talk to any of you who knew him during the last years of his life, I wish that I had been there myself. You may contact me by e-mail at [email protected] or [email protected]. If you’re out there Scott I have always loved you and I miss you badly, you were my brother.

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

My senior year in high school, a vehicle that I was traveling in was pulled over by Officer Harvick. My traveling companions and I had just encountered something hilarious just prior to the stop and could not contain our laughter. When Officer Harvick approached the vehicle he asked why we were laughing and we explained the scenario that had us overcome with laughter. The driver of the vehicle should have received a citation for the numerous traffic violations, but instead, Officer Harvick gave us a verbal warning and stated, "you guys are hilarious and made my night, so I'm letting you go with a warning." I never forgot that traffic stop. Now that I am a police officer myself I occasionally let other violators go with just a warning. I remember Officer Harvick when I encounter those violators who "make my night by making me laugh". God bless you and your family Officer Harvick. That brief encounter with you nearly 10 years ago made a lasting impression in my life and career.

It is very rare that a day goes by when I don't think of Scott/Bo Bo. He was my cousin and my best friend. He was as honest as anyone could ever be, his heart was big and had room for everyone he met.
I know he is still with me...when I'm on a run and about to pass out, I can hear him calling me a "PUSS" so, I keep going. The very day he passed I had a dream of him telling me that all would be alright, he didn't hurt anymore...I was awakened by the ringing of the phone telling me that he was gone. On my way to the meet up with family going to the hospital where he was, I was stopped by a young officer...I'm sure he thought I was nuts when he got to my window and I was laughing hysterically and crying my eyes out at the same time...crying for my loss and laughing because I knew Scott must of had a hand in that. I'm almost certain he was laughing right along with me...or at me, he was always the prankster!!!
I miss him tremendously...and always will.

All of your kind words has given me a chance to reflect on some good memories today...makes me smile!
I wish you all the best of luck in your lives. To all of you that are in law enforcement...stay safe, tell your family you love them every chance you get and know that I have a great appreciation for you all and what you do!
Best whishes

Scott was a good guy. In the Academy he would always try to make peace and was fiends with everyone. He was always trying to help with anything he could. I had a few problems in the academy and scott was the first person to talk to me and help me out. It really upsets me that he is gone. But like everyone else has said, he is probably barking orders at everyone in heaven. Rest in Peace Scott (Dogboy)

I served as Scott's squad leader in the Army. We both left the service about the same time to pursue police careers. Scott was so full of life, it was hard to believe when I heard he had passed. He was an excellent soldier and i'm sure he was an excellent officer. Scott did not know how to be anything less than the best.

Scott, (AKA Dogboy)

You always bugged me in the academy, your Holly'er Than Now attitude, but through the years in this job I have learned that the people that I have most respected always reminded me of you, now I don't have to answer why that is do I? You were a good Police Officer before you even started, I just didn't see it! You were harsh and sometimes annoying to a young runt like I was, but you were trained, disciplined, and caring! Something that it took me a few years to find. You died serving your country, whether it was in the Military or the Streets, it's all the same.
I just wanted to update your memorial because I view it everytime that I come to this site.

I had the honor to attend the Cedar Valley Police Academy with Scott.  He was our Sergeant and class leader.  He motivated everyone to do a better job in learning and defensive tactics.  Scott will be missed by me and the many people that were fortunate to come in contact with him.  I would also like to thank the Woodway Public Safety for their part in the funeral services and the DeSoto Police Department for theirs.  Scott will never be forgotten.

Scott was a very good friend to Mart EMS. Scott was always the first to ask if we needed help at a scene, whether it was for lifting help or crowd control, etc..
Mornings were always a special time. Scott would always park across from Mart Elementery School to make sure nobody was traveling too fast while the children were on their way to school. Many of Marts children came to know Scott this way and he made time to get to know them as well.
His next morning stop was the Mart Cafe where we all would be having breakfast. Scott always had a comment to make to someone just to get us laughing all the harder.He was very excited about getting his dog for the K-9 unit. We were looking forward to seeing him run around town with his dog licking him behind the ear.
We miss Scotts humor and his love of the kids in our community.
Scott made many friends in the short time he was in Mart, we love and miss him very much. Scott is remembered daily at Mart EMS because he really was a friend you could count on being there to help when needed! Scott's accident was in the line of duty helping one of our ambulance crews in lifting an extremely heavy patient in the middle of the night.

I attended the Police Academy, and subsequently became friends with Officer Harvik. He was affectionately known to us as "DogBoy", which, when he was addressed as such, was usually followed by numerous barks, and much raucous laughter.

Scott had a unique gift for instantly gaining the trust and admiration of young children, and I have an 8 year old boy whom also misses him deeply. When informed of his death, my son was quiet for some time, and then commented "Now DogBoy will watch over us all the time."
