Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Daryle, I did not know you well but recall you being an outstanding officer and such a polite man. I was off duty the night you and Rick got shot, and wept when I saw our Chief on the news telling of your death. I wept again when I listened to the 911 tape. I wept at your funeral, surrounded by my best friends in blue. That day was both sad and marvelous in a strange way; feeling the love people have for you and Rick, as thousands of us gathered shoulder to shoulder to honor you. You and your partner Rick are two of my heroes and I will never forget you. I am so proud to have been an officer on LBPD the time you were there. Rest in eternal peace, brother in blue.

I meet Daryle a week before he died when me myself was shot at on Santa Fe @ Willow and that meeting changed my views on Police Officer's that I ran across from my past . He was a caring Officer he gave me a ride home that night we talked about family and my kids . I had left Long Beach cause of the violence in 95 came back in 2000 then again was involved in a shooting. I guess he found out about my past and what kind of trouble I use to get into when I was younger he called me later that week and ask is it possible for me to go back to Jersey cause he heard certain things that where being said in the streets about me being harmed by the mexicans on the West Side . I made a joke with him saying o.k. only if you come with me cause I'll hire you as a bodyguard. He laughed and said no I have a job to do here in Long Beach and keeping people safe in the city. The following night he was killed . I still carry his card in my wallet , cause in a way he was my Guardian Angel . I grabbed my kids the following week and moved back to New Jersey my daughter is now 17 my son just turned 16 he wants to become a Police Officer and ask me how I feel about that I tell him as long as you're a Officer like Daryle Black I o.k. with it !!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARYLE!!!( July 31), 45 years old! Miss you very much. The tears and pain don't stop. We will be doing something special that day in memory of you......go to a resturant, order two full slab of ribs with sides and spend the next 10 minutes cutting all the food up in little pieces before we eat:), or drinking a couple raw eggs!! Ok, the other day I met a friend at a resturant and we were there for 5 hours-(no,not eating the whole time) talking...a couple hours short of your 8 hours.................yes, we are related! I thank God everyday for that.
Love you "little" brother

My only real memories of my late cousin, Daryle are from when I was a child visiting him & his family on their property in Michigan. I looked up to him and still do, becuase for one, I know in my heart he was doing what he believed in when that teenage thug took him away from all of us. And I know, without question he was one of the cleanest, most decent officers to serve in the Long Beach gang unit. He didn't deserve what happened to him & even after all these years I get tears in my eyes thinking about it.
I remember when he let me ride on the front of his dirt bike around their land, and watching the first Star Wars movie over & over while spending the night in my Aunt Ellen's home. I also feel for his partner who got hit but lived --- I know first-hand what it's like to lose a good friend to a killer I never saw. I had my own brush with Death the next year & remember looking over to see a good friend staring up into the heavens with no life left in him. I missed the anniversary of Daryle's passing, like almost every year -- blocked it out like so many traumatic memories...it offers little comfort that the killer is serving time, because nothing can bring my cousin back.
So, until I see you again, cuz: Rest in Peace!

Really wish you were still here with us. Miss you more than I can explain. I still find myself checking the spelling of your name when I go to the cementry,if the name is spelled wrong it's not you.....when I do see the name is spelled correct I get mad all over again! I just wish

You were the first one to ever believe that I could do it. I still remember you telling me "make me proud". You changed my life that day. I have never forgotten your words and I have never forgotten you. You have been with me in all of my accomplishments.

Thank you Officer Black
