Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Another year has gone by, but you are never forgotten! It is hard to believe that it has been 14 years. My heart still aches from the ripple effects! With our faith in God keeps us strong and knowing that we will see you again with no tears and pain.

Bro Brandon, There is not a day I don't remember the studing and laughter we had during our days at DOCJT. 1995 seems so distant now but you will never be forgotten. Peace be with your family and know your friends in blue are still fighting the fight.

Thoughts of you, damn brother you would be amazed at our country today. Jenny & Katherine fight in your honor everyday. They are extremely strong (can't imagine where it came from! Until we see each other again, I love you more than my own--you are thought of and missed every single day. Love you Brandon,

Brandon,
It has been 13 years and I still don't know what to do. I have written it down. I have professed it out loud and still it makes no difference...I can't turn back time. If only I had done something in those fist minutes when he gt onto the parkway. If only I hadn't passed you minutes before he decided to take your life. If only I had....I have gone over the reflections left by people who didn't know you or only briefly knew you some only in the last moments of life and realized I hadn't left anything. Have I been a coward? Have I been reluctant to share those feelings that a real cops dosn't share? Hell I don't know. Tonight I have sat here and cried like a baby knowing you were laughing your ass off. You are in the place that we all want to be...resting in the arms of the almighty patroling the street of gold where the sound of laughter is the only disturbance around. Dude I am tired of trying to be elloquent... misspelled that to. I miss you. A day does not go by where there isn't a thought of something we did or whatever... Miss U Bro.. have one on me make that 2.

To my friend who called me everytime the game was on no matter where in the world you were or what you were doing, I miss you most of all on this day. When we were little kids we watched together and rode each others ass, as soon as the game would end we would head outside and try to replay the whole thing, our way.LOL. I miss those games and now I can only wish you were still here so we could at least have our great phone conversations. I love and miss you my friend.

You know what tomorrow is and of course Kelli and the kids have be in "True Blue Fan" city! Of all weekends brother, why this one? Any where you were you made sure to call on this game day. I say it everyday, I miss you but know we'll see each other again and it'll be as a day never passed. Kelli got to meet your mom, wife and daughter this summer. She called around & got some friends at short notice. I stayed right with Ms. Dottie, she always did love me more. LOL

Soon but if Kelli gets there first, lie about everything we got into! I know you're laughing now. Tell next time my brother.

12 years ago you gave your life, your dreams and your happiness to do your job. A job that you talked about for 20 years. I am so proud to have known you and to have grown up basically being raised by you. We planted a tree in your honor today. I so wish you could have met Kelli, but in some strange way I think you are the one that sent her to me. She's a lot like you, always trying to take care of me and save me from me. Go figure! (she's a UK fan too, you did that outta spite!!)

Another year has passed and you are still admired and respectfully remembered in the hearts and minds of so many. My thoughts and prayers are with your loved ones and friends on this anniversary of your EOW. You will never be forgotten.

I received an email today from NLEOMF. I read that the man who took you from your family was released yesterday....a free man! My heart aches for Jennifer, your family and your friends. I can imagine the thoughts that are running through their heads.....the WHYS!?! and the HOW COULD THEYS!?! It is not fair that someone can commit a crime, pay their time, and be able to be reunited w/ their family and friends....a simple pleasure that your loved ones are not able to relish in.

I was in Washington,DC for National Police Week this year and had the pleasure of listening to Jennifer speak at the memorial as well as at the survivors dinner. She is a wonderful woman....strong and supportive to those of us who have unfortunately been inducted into this group. You must be soooooo proud of her.

Many thanks to you Jen, for the continued support you provide to all the families, friends and co-workers of fallen officers.

Tough holiday without you. Have that sick feeling in my stomach knowing the creep you took you from us will be reunited with his family soon.
Find solace in faith and in knowing ultimate justice is not ours.
Still hurts to not have you here cooking, wrapping gifts, playing games....being a part of the family celebration as you should be! MISS you always!

Brandon,

Heard something today that brought tears to my eyes. Just wanted you to know you are not forgotten. Pray the lord continues to give Jennifer and Katherine strength and hold them in his hands.

He's missing you today..you know why...UK/Indiana game...he's been struggling but you know that..he says that he wouldn't be alive now if it wasn't for you. Thank you for that...I'm just so sorry that all your loved ones are still suffering and missing you...it never gets easier. I'm headed to sit with him in the living room and just hold him...it's all I can do right now. Thank you for all you did! and still do!

Oh Brandon...what I wish to have you here to talk to this man! He is hurting so bad and I have no idea what to do or how to help him, it seems you were the only one that could do that for him! I know that he thinks about you all the time and tells our daughter and son about all the wild times ya'll had. I wonder if your daughter gets to hear any of that stuff, lol, I hope not for her sake! I hate that I never got to know you in person but cannot thank you enough for always watching over my love love....now I really need you to just listem to him if he calls upon you...let him know in some way how much he is loved and that regardless of what happens he will always be loved. What keeps me with him is the love your wife and daughter have for you and would probably give anything to have just another day or hour with you...I cannot bear the thought of not having him here everyday...I know you probably already know that though...you were an amazing friend and I thank you SO much for just always being you, now and then. You are a solider for God!

As I read through the entries I just sobbed. I know you are so proud of Jennifer and Katherine. They are amazing women. CAG is still struggling with your loss. I never realized the impact you have made in his life. I only knew you briefly. We kept the pooh outfit that you and Jennifer gave us for the birth of Hailea, shortly before you were taken from this earth. I recall the last time I spoke to you when calling and looking for CAG. You wanted to know why he wasn't home taking care of me and our new daughter. I just realized it was the same week that you died.

I ask you to keep a special watch over us especially CAG. As you know what we are currently going through. I feel ashamed for feeling the way that I do about our situation and just realizing it is so small in comparsion. God is sending us in a new direction. Don't know which way yet, but it is good to know that we have you up there on our side. Thank you, Brandon.

Feel rest assured that your family and your memory will not be forgotten - CAG guarantees that. He wishes he could have done more on that day and could do more now.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the eleventh anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.
