I couldnt be as close to you as the rest of the family because I was so young. I have gotten to know you better as Ive gotten older. Your "promotion" in life, has changed all of our lives in so many ways. Your memory lives in all your friends, and family forever! Im honored to have known you. There are times I know you are with us all, weird times when I look at the clock and it is 2:33, or when gas was actually $2.33, or when I buy something and the total is 23.30, or 2.33....I think about you and Austin everyday and I thank God for all my blessings. Your beautiful wife, Aunt Shaun is my hero. Shes such a soldier. She wears your wonderful memory on her sleeve, with pride. I look foward to the day when we will all be able to be with you and Austin at the "pearly gates"!

All My Love Forever!

Everyday I still carry you with me! Even though, as you had told me to do during our "What if" conversations, I am trying to move forward. Somedays that can still be so difficult. But, I feel your push and encourgement within my heart. This helps me know to keep pushing on. We all miss you so much! But, one day, we will see you & Austin again. Just that thought alone puts the smile back on my face. I'm so thankful that I don't have to wonder where you are today.... With our Heavenly Father!

Everyone misses you not only me but My mom & dad, DeeDee, Emily (11) & Caroline (9). And my how Brad wishes you could hold his beautiful little baby girl (1 1/2) and meet his precious wife. I must not forget your friends and the ones you helped mentored. How I know they are still carrying you with them too. Everyone's lives have changed and went in so many directions that we never could have dreamed. But we will always carry you with us! We will love you, Always!

I have read many reflections on this site since December 22, 2002 when I lost my best friend. I honor and envy the strength of the mothers, wives and children of those officers lost while doing the job we do. I read some of Deputy Braddock's reflections and only wish I had been afforded the opportunity to meet him. Ms. Braddock you are truly a strong woman to have lost so much and still have such faith in our lord. I sometimes question my faith because of the travesty I see in this world but reading your reflection brought me out of the "blue view" and I know God has a purpose for us all and calls on us for reasons we cannot understand. Keep your faith and hold tight to the memories you have of the ones you have given to God. I have faith that Grady and your son rest in peace and watch over you every day until you are called to join them and it will be my honor to meet you there.

After 9 years you are still missed so much. I think about you so often. You were such a wonderful person. No matter how bad a person was you always seen something good in them. You were always there to listen never to critize.
People might not of been doing what you thought was right but you never once spoke one bad word about them. You would always find words of encourgement.
And it is times that I am down that I stop and think about you and what you would say.
I know you are not here on this earth but you are here in my heart. I miss you! Thanks for leaving such great impression on our lives.

In loving memory of D.S. Braddock:
It is so sad to come to this site and see all the officers down.
According to these reflections, you knew Jesus personally and that
blesses me greatly as I know I will meet you face to face one day
and be able to thank you for your sacrifice. There is none greater than
Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
We don't get to Heaven based on what we do, but by the sacrifice He made on the cross for our sins.
AMEN! Thank you for your fine
example to those that worked with you and knew you. There is now a huge void that cannot be filled, but as you are remembered, thoughts will
turn to your exemplary life and we will be filled with pride and respect and love for the man you became. You were a wonderful testimony to the Lord you served. God be with all those who mourn and may His
promises lift all those with heavy hearts for many years to come.

It is now over 7 years since we graduated from the academy at TECO. Working full time jobs and going to the academy at night resulted in some really LONG days! But, we got through it and we moved on to our respective agencies. I will never forget your laugh, your positive attitude, and I especially will never forget how proud you were when you were sworn in at graduation. I will never forget you. Rest in Peace my friend.

It has been 3 years now since Grady was killed and I still pray every day for his loving wife. I was one of the Communication Center Personnel that worked this tradgic event. Grady was a fun-loving, caring person who was a wonderful Deputy. He was always friendly and did not deserve to die. I would like to tell his wife that I will always keep you in my prayers. I can only tell you that I admire you for all your strength. I was so sorry to hear about your son dying and then having to deal with losing Grady....I can only say that you are a wonderful, strong women and I wish you all the happiness in the world and I will continue to have you in my prayers.

A Devoted and Loving Christian, Husband, Family Man and Friend who is respected and loved by all. A Man of Integrity, Honesty, and dedication. He is missed dearly, and will never be forgotten.

"Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But, we know that when he appears, we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is." (1 John 3:2 NIV)

On March 13, 1993 I completely devoted my life to you and losing you and our only son has broken my heart into a million pieces. You are now in the presence of our God holding our son and singing his praises. Oh, how I long to hear you and Austin laughing and playing. But, I must rely on God and continue to be faithful for I know that one-day, in his time, we will all be reunited in his glorious presence. From this moment on there will always be two missing pieces. I, along with our family and friends wonder why you must go. Was it simply time? Or for a better purpose? The answer we don't know, and maybe it's for the best. Because, we all know that every little boy needs his father with him.

You could not have possibly imagine how your Christian walk, being the big brother and a friend has touched so many young men and women's lives. You gave the ultimate sacrifice and you are OUR hero.

I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER, AND ETERNITY,

Your loving wife,

La Shaun

Terrill I can't believe it has been 10 long lonely years since I got to hold you and embrace you like the big brother you always were to me. It was yours and Shaun's wedding day March 13, 1993. I was your bestman on that day as you were everyday for me, Thank You. I remember how cold it got that day and the big snow storm that shut down I-75. There are so many things I remember about our friendship but most of all I remember you being a big brother to me and teaching me what being a man is all about. I hope I haven't disappointed you. We were brothers in life and in law enforcement we will be brothers for eternity. I love you and miss you everyday.

There are several streets I am still unable to go down. It is just to painful. The best of the best could never justly define you. You were always more. Your strong faith touched more than a multitude of souls. In passing, you still touch hearts and bring happiness with all the laughter and good times you shared here. When the words "pearly gates" are spoken, the first vision I have is of you standing there on duty in full uniform guarding Gods palace. "Angels watching over us"

It has been almost 4 years now and I still think about
you almost daily. I think about the impact you and Shaun
had on my life as my youth leaders and how I never
apoligized for all the times I acted up in class. All the youth misses you so much. We all keep Shaun in our prayers
and wait to see you again in Heaven. I love and miss you.

It has been over three years since I had to say goodbye. The pain has not gone away, it is only different. I am honored when I look at these memorial pages and see you among the proud and few who gave the ultimate sacrifice. There were so many things I wanted to share with you but now I have to learn to share them with your memory. You were so special, more than any of these words could ever describe. You are a part of me and always will be. You were my best friend, my encouragement, and yes, my hero. I loved you more than I ever told or showed you. I miss you everyday of my life. I will never have another you.
I will never have another brother because I had the best.
