Sadly enough one of your brothers from the same barracks lost his life today. Always praying that not another trooper would pay the ultimate sacrifice. Rest in peace together and continue to watch over your family.

Though the years are going by fast, you are still in the hearts of everyone daily that you truly loved. Stories, laughter, tears and cheers were through out the conversations last night. Keep watching over us and continue to send us your blessings...Happy New Year!!!!!

In life, a person can count on one hand how many "true" friends they have or have had. Brian was a "true" friend of mine. I grew up with Brian and have many fond memories of all the adventures we shared growing up. Brian stood up for others and positively impacted his community. He’ll be missed greatly

I haven't talked to you in a year, but you are never far from my thoughts. It's so hard to believe 6years have passed. May you continue to rest in the peace God has brought you. And may you never be further than a whisper or a prayer from Julie and the kids.

The 7th annual Brian Patterson memorial golf outing was again another success today. Tyler had his team of friends and Desirae and Julie drove the golf cart around to tell everyone hello. The 50/50 was a huge success and it was nice to see everyone out supporting a good thing and enjoying the sunshine.
You will always be remembered by many Brian, continue to look down on us.

Forgive me for missing the anniversary of your E.O.W., but I felt as though I could not continue to read about so many tragedies. I now realize the visit each day to leave a word of encouragement and hope to the loved ones of others, helps me to remember that I am not alone with my pain and heartbreak. So may I say to your friends and loved ones that my thoughts and prayers are with them now and always. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol and may they know you will never be forgotten.

Thinking about you on this 6th anniversary, you are gone but never forgotten! Our son was named in honor of Brian, we named him Brian Glen Patterson and he is a healthy 14 month old little boy. Continue to watch over us Trooper Patterson.

On this the sixth anniversary of your tragic death, please know that your memory is honored and revered today.

My heart is with all family members and friends who call you beloved. They are all in my thoughts and prayers today. I can see from the loving reflections left by your wife and soulmate, your children, and your loyal friends that you were an amazing man who is loved and missed by all those whose lives you touched.

This world, this country, your community truly are better places because of you. To have lost you is a great tragedy, an irreplaceable, immeasurable loss for society. We are grateful for and to you, and honor you for all you did for us day in and day out whether you received a word of thanks or praise.

Rest in Peace, Brian. I am so humbled by your valor and service.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Brian gave to his community and the citizens of Pennsylvania, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 14, 2003.

I just wanted to say that I never knew Trooper Brian Patterson, but he obviously served the state of Pennsylvania valiantly and will never be forgotten. It is my desire one day soon to be a Pennsylvania State Trooper. If I do get the honor of receiving that position I will make sure that I carry Trooper Patterson's legacy to the best of my ability. He died a hero, and my heart is touched greatly every time I hear of an officer paying the ultimate sacrifice. Much love to the Patterson family, you are in my prayers.

Brian,

It's strange how time has passed. Alot has happened good and bad. My dad's heart attack a year to the day, almost the exact time you were taken. I still think you woke him so he could get to the hospital in time(thank you). Now hear I am thinking of all of this and all of the good times we had. I'm sure you know what has happened over the last two years and I'm sure of how you feel. I ask you to walk with me and help me get the proper outcome. We (I) have tried to be strong for Kristy and the kids and I know that worse things could happen, but I need to put this to rest,and then I can get on with life again. I apologize for not stopping by more and I will try to do better.

I watched a video tonight that Shawn made for me. You are there with Julie and the kids. Also present are 4 others that love you and your family. We have a bond no one can understand or know because of you. Please look down and give us strength to get through these hard times. Wrap your spirit around us all. You are greatly missed and loved. May our love tether us all.

God Bless you and your family. May you continue to do the job from above and guide us here on the ground. I read a few of your reflections and let me tell you Brian, you are dearly loved which I'm sure you know. Reading your daughters reflections broke my heart as I'm a father of a 10 year old girl myself. Keep strong young lady and know your father is watching over us all.
