Rest in peace Officer Strouse, a hero of the Windy City buried next to his older sister a very young child when she passed. Terrible for parents to have to bury their children first. God has a plan!

Brian, I didnt have the honor of meeting you, but your memory lives on very strongly thru a brave man by the name of Chris.
You would be extremely proud of Chris! Your an angel on his shoulder. Your memory will live strong within me and my daughters forever.

Brian,
So glad I got to know you for the short time that I did! I will never forget you. I wish you could have met my husband who retired as a Lt. Col. In the USMC. Proud to have been able to take you to tour the FBI in DC. I know that meant a lot to you. Your life was much too short! I know my parents loved you a lot too. You will forever be missed!

Dear Brian,

I can't believe it's been 14 years. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I miss you so much! Right now I'm closing my eyes imagining you, Roc, and I are opening the fire hydrant in front of your house on New England and dragging little Kathy through it!

I just learned of his death today from a fellow marine. Brian was a hell of a guy, I always thought he would end being a sports play by play announcer. He was funny and kind just. A good man. I can't say enough good things about him, God bless him and his family

It was an honor and privilege to participate in the 2014 memorial honoring Brian's memory. It still seems like yesterday when Brian was lost from this world. His honor and service will always be remembered. G-d Bless the Strouse family.

I served with Brian in the Marine Corps 1st Bn, 7th Marines Alpha company 2nd Plt. He was a large part of our Plt. He always had a smile on his face and always talked about the Bulls, Bears, and if i remember right the cubs. Brian will be missed by the Salts in 2nd Plt. I will make sure I spread the word to all his brothers he served with. I am sorry to the family for your loss of a great man. SEMPER FI! (finding this was a sad day)

12 years ago my life was inconceivably changed forever. Not a day goes by that you don't cross my mind. Some times 12 years ago seems like yesterday, other days it seems like an eternity. I hope and pray you are at peace. I love and miss you terribly. Just wanted to let you know you are never far from my thoughts, the memories bring you back and make me smile...most times!
