Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

To officer Dibucci:

Thank you for a job well done. You are a true American Hero. I thank God for your engravings that will last forever and a day.

To Officer Dibucci Mom:
I found your reflection on the NLEMO page. You put into words what my heart feels as well. May God keep you all safe and strong until the day you are reunited with your beautiful boy.
There is not another sadness in the world that compares to the grief of the lost of your beloved child. I know this well.
My prayers are with you during this week of honor for our boys. I will hold my candle high and send a prayer into the wind for him, on Saturday night at the candlelight vigil. May God bless you and wrap his arms especially tight around you to comfort you.

Hard to believe it's that time of year again. Seven years since I gave you a hug and a kiss. I'd give anything in this world (anything) to have that moment just one more time. You come to me in my dreams and I wake up feeling so lucky. Mother's Day is this Sunday and, although some may feel sad, I will be proud this day and every day of the year to have had the privilege of being your mom. What a great relationship we had, like "none no other". You have been an amazing son! Thank you for filling my heart with your memory, a memory of love and joy beginning with the day you were born. I love you and I miss you, my beautiful boy.

Dearest Brian aka Speed Demon...I cannot believe that nearly 6 years have passed since you were taken from us. You are still the love of my life, the first in my heart. Michael and I miss you terribly, and spend countless hours telling "Brian stories". I hope you are safe with your friends James and Chaz in heaven. I bet you guys are on the race track right now.... Love you, Jannifer

4 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; 5 it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends

Officer DiBucci, thank you for your service and dedication. You will be missed and never forgotten. May your family, fiancée, and everyone who loves you stay strong in the memories and love you shared with them.

I lost my fiancée, Scott Stewart, in August of 2002. There not a day that goes by without him in my heart and mind. I understand the pain your fiancee must feel from being ripped from you to soon. The support and love from others who know my pain have helped tremendously.

To your fiancée Margaret, if you ever feel the need to reach out to others who know your pain, please contact me and other s/o’s. A search on yah groups will bring you to us. Just enter the below as it is.

Always remember as long as your heart beats Brian will be with you. He’s there everyday in your heart.

Hugs,
Monica

To the family of officer DiBucci my thought go out to you often, and not just thoughts but prayers. I pray you may still find comfort in God our savior as hard as it may be. I have known about this site for a few months now but just the other day finnally had the courage to look at it. I still remeber the day I heard officer DiBucci had died while on a call. Our family was still getting over the fact that my brother had miracously survived being shot at in the face just 6 weeks before. Officer DiBuccis death was very hard to handle as with any officer becasue at any time I kept thinking that it could be my brother. His death was the first law enforcement death in WA since my brothers accident. so it certainly brought pain to my heart.

My prayers continue to go out to WA states law enforcement community that God will protect you as you protect us.

Officer DiBucci, thank you so much for you selfless sacrifices everyday. Your dedication will not be forgotton.

...AT PEACE WITH HONOR

Brian ~

Although I did not ever have the pleasure of meeting you when you protected me and the other fine citizens of Everett, you will be sorely missed by those whose lives you touched.

It's been more than four years my sweet Brian Michael. Can it be so long? I remember your face, your smile, your devious sense of humor, like it was yesterday. At the same time, a lifetime has passed since you've held me, laughed with me, and scared me out of my wits driving the way you do!

I did it. I made the Honor Guard. This is something I did for me, something that I have wanted since before I can remember. The pride I have knowing what I represent, I know that it will be exactly what I believed it would be. How I wish you could see me, how I wish I could share this with you. I know that as you watch from your race track in the sky, you smile down on me and maybe even puff up a little with pride.

I Love You, I Miss You. Please watch over us, we still need you, and will never forget you.

Don't grieve for me, for now I am free,

I am following the path GOD laid for me.

I took his hand when I heard him call,

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,

To laugh...to love... to work...to play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way,

I found peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,

Ah...these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with time of sorrow,

I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My lifes been full, I savored much,

Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,

Don't lengthen it now with undo grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me,

GOD wanted me now...He set me free.

Remember...to live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die

Brian was a great cop, an exceptional person and loved by all who knew him.  I remember how awfulit was for him when his wonderful friend Deputy James Godding passed away.  Who would ever imagine Brian would also die so young.  I often wonder if Brian and James are together again, at peace and driving those women in heaven crazy with their good looks and crazy driving!  I will love you always, my Bucky..…

I will never forget the last time that Brian responded as my backup. It was one of his last shifts for Tenino PD and he was due to leave for Everett in a couple of days. When he came sliding sideways into the scene while I was wrestling my suspect, the suspect just gave up. Brian always had a way of getting things to come to an easy finish when he showed up to assist me or one of the crew here. Even though Tenino is 8 miles away, Brian always had a way of showing up in a minute or two after he was called.

I will never forget Brian, the impact he made on the Tenino Community, and the way he had of always helping the newest Officers become the best they could be.

I attended the police academy with Brian. He was always so helpful when someone needed it. His drive for police work was phenominal and admired. He will be missed greatly. What he did for law enforcement will never be forgotten. His tour of duty ended way too soon for such a good officer. I hope his family and friends will find peace in knowing that he died a hero. He was a wonderful person and a great officer. Brian, you are gone but you will never be forgotten. Please watch over us.

Four months from today, I was supposed to marry Brian in a February wedding that was to leave nothing to be desired. We were both so excited about the day, and so happy. Neither of us had ever been happier.

Brian was a wonderful man, the type of person everyone liked instantly. He had a huge heart, a bright smile, and a welcoming, generous personality. He was also one of the best policeman I have ever known. He made me strive to be a better police officer also. We had the opportunity to work together for a while, before we got personally involved, and I learned so much from him. He was always so willing to share his knowledge and help other officers become better. We will miss you, I will miss you.

Brian, I will always try to make you proud of me, and I will always love you.

Officer Margaret Erb
Everett Police

Brian was enthusiastic, positive, well respected by all of his peers, and had a zest for police work not often seen anymore. He never let the negative aspects of the job get to him, always moving on to the next positive he could find. His enthusiasm was constantly demonstrated by his desire to learn more, and to teach other officers all he knew. There wasn't an officer on the street that didn't respect him as a police officer and as a man. He was one of the first people you would name if you were looking for a cover officer in the most dangerous of situations. He was one of the first people you would go to if you had a question about any aspect of police work. This is a lot to say of a man, an officer who had been on this department for only a year and a half, and a policeman for only four years. Brian earned every bit of respect he was shown, and earned a lot more than most officers get in a lifetime of police work. He was an excellent police officer and an amazing man. He is sorely missed every day by every one who knew him, and every one who worked with him. We love you!

I was living in Lake Stevens when this happened, I remember it very well as it broke my heart to hear of this fine Officer's death. My ex-husband was working his shift at the jail and I recall the story from him. I remember taking our sons to the memorial and as Officer DiBucci passed our sons saluted him respectfully. God Bless his fiance' and their families. Life is so precious...

It's been three years today. Some have said "three years? It's been that long?" Most of us think more like "how did it get to be three years already?" Everything is all still so vivid, all the great memories, and all the great stories confirming what I intuitively knew. That Brian was as good an officer as I thought he was, that he earned all the respect he had, and how he worked towards making a positive contribution in every aspect of his work. How happy he was with his life, and how much he Loved his family and friends.

I will always acknowledge and remind people about the positive influences Brian had on me, and shared with me, because I want to give Brian the respect and honor he has so rightly earned. At the same time I miss Brian more than I can say, I feel lucky that I knew him and I am proud to be able to share and tell about our friendship.

I miss you so much Brian.
