Scott, tonight I will go place the wreath and candle for the 20 year anniversary. I cannot believe it has been 20 years, sometimes it seems like yesterday when it happened, other times it has been forever since I last heard you laugh and saw your smile. I believe you walk beside me, a bond so strong as ours simply cannot be broken. I love you and miss you with all my heart.

Scott, For some reason I typed in your name on the internet, yes I know you cannot believe I know of these things but nevertheless here I am.
I saw this tribute page and well, I want you to know I miss you also and will always remember the birthday card and balloons that you put into my patrol car after you somehow gained access, I will not say broke into, as well as that prank you and your buddy Sak if I remember correctly, pulled on me at 5 in the morning making me leave my meal hot on the table at Perkins to see what trouble you got yourself into on 39th ave... in the COUNTY!
May God bless you and your family, I know He does.

Your Friend,
Brad

I was in the Smoothie King today and the sweet girl behind the counter bought my smoothie. When I asked her why, she said her father was Fallen Officer Scott Baird and she sometimes does this for other officers. Her name was Juliann Baird.
I didn't know you Officer Baird, but if your still reading these posts from above, RIP you left a wonderful legacy in that daughter of yours.

Some prank! A hero forever Officer Baird. Rest in peace. A two to three-hundred pound batting cage in the road. Ladders on the highway are not uncommon.

Scott, my heart and prayers are with your family as they have been without you for 15 years, it is hard to believe that so much time has gone by since that terrible night. I know that the pain in your mom's heart is still as strong as the day she received the news. Your mom is such a strong person, I know that you are with her all the time.

Scott it is 16 years today since you have been gone. My heart aches every day and life has never been the same. It is not just your family who misses you, your friends miss you too.

Scott it is 15 years today. My heart is just as heavy and broken as it was then. I think about you every single day, I long for the days gone by, I miss you so much. You were only in our lives for such a short time but I treasure all the memories you gave us. Tonight we will gather on Scott Baird Blvd to honor and remember you. I hope you are smiling down on us, happy to see all your family, friends and people who never were fortunate enough to meet you paying their respects. Continue to watch over us Scott.

I didn't know Scott but I have been able to get to know his family and little brother Ian. I am lucky that I get to see Ian every summer during our Police Camp program and remind him that he will always be part of our family. Scott will always have brothers in law enforcement and we will forever be here for your family. God Bless you.

Scott,

Another year has gone by, the pain of losing you will never go away. I miss you so much, I think of you everyday. The wreath is on the road, the candle is lit. Tomorrow we will gather again to honor and remember you, I am always amazed at how many people come, some people who have never even met you, its heartwarming.

I love you,
Mom

Scott,

I can hardly believe it has been 12 years. I just wanted to tell you I really miss your friendship. We had many great times, and lots of laughs, together. You're one-in-a-million, and I wish I had those times back. You will never be forgotten.

12 years today....the pain never goes away...the hurt is down so deep inside. I miss you so much. Tonight is the candlelight, your friends, family and people who never had the great opportunity to meet you will be there tonight. It is all for you Scott, I hope you are shining down from heaven on us as we gather. This is the poem I will read tonight for you:

Until We Meet Again

Each morning when we awake
we know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness
and many tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you,
your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.

There will always be a heartache,
and often a silent tear,
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.

If tears could make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts,
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.

Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing will be the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Mom

I want to wish you a Happy New Year and let you know that you are not forgotten. I will do my best to stop by and write to you every chance I get. HEROES live forever, and you Officer Baird are a hero... Your mom is such an inspiration to me and I thank God for her all the time. She is there for everyone even as her heart breaks and the pain is strong. Continue to rest rest in peace and again, I will never forget.
