Reflections for Trooper Kevin Michael Marshall
Kevin,
I met your mother on July 30. She is an amazing women. I wish I could have met you. I think you were just like her.
I will continue to pray for your family every day...

Kevin,
I met your mother last month at a benefit for another Trooper, and I must say she is an amazing woman. I told her I wish I had known you in life. Unfortunaltey, your funeral was my first as a young Troop....and sadly I know it probably won't be my last. Seeing you in the same uniform I put on everyday was so hard. I can't even imagine the pain your family must have felt (and I am sure still do). Rest in peace knowing your brothers and sisters in blue are watching over them. And know that everyday that I get behind the wheel of that blue goose, you and those that have gone before you are on my mind.
Reguards-

2 years ago, you died. Tow years ago, and upto now, your family has cried. The tears won't go away, but all we can do is pray. Pray that your family will keep strong, and that no more Officers from any Department or State Police Post will be killed.

It's been two long years. We see you everyday we come to work, we think of you everyday. Why you Kevin? We remain strong together, as we all know that is what you would have wanted, but we miss you greatly and this post will never be the same. Rest now and know that your family will always be watched over by the MSP.

I start every shift looking at your picture in my locker, and I can't believe it's been two years. You will never be gone to so many of us, watch over us on the road. I pray for Angie and the kids every week.

Angie - yes, of course Kevin's spirit is still at your side! This is so ironic. Tonight when I visited the ODMP a memorial came up on the home page, that of a Texas officer (John Bennett) that died in an auto accident in July 2003, just after Kevin had died. I read the reflections, and saw one from his wife. She said she read a reflection in print, and thought it was so beautiful she wanted to share it with others. I copied it here for you. It has been two very hard years on you and your kids. Kevin knows how very much you all love and miss him, and he would want you to find happiness again. Life does go on, as hard as it is sometimes. I have been down the road myself. Being happy again doesn't mean you love or miss Kevin any less. Here's that reflection. I hope you find some peace in it! It's beautiful -
And if I go, while you're still here,
Know that I still live on, Vibrating to a different measure behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me, so you must have faith.
I wait the time when we can soar together again, both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to the fullest. And when you need me, just whisper my name in your heart. I will be there.

Hey Marsh,
I think you would be proud of your friends. Despite their busy schedules, they try to talk and see each other as much as possible. Your memory remains strong. I am proud of the affect you have had on so many lives.
Keep looking out for us.

Dear Kevin,
We think of you and miss you everyday, and most especially today we are overwhelmed by the loss of your presence. You will always be dear to us and have left such wonderful legacies in Angela, Anthony and Danielle. I know how proud you must be. As you are our hero so too is Angela. We will love them and you always.

There is not a day that goes by that we don't think about you. Please be with Angie, Anthony, and Danielle today as they continue on this journey! They miss you more than words can describe. Continue to wrap your arms around them and send them all your love!
We miss you Kevin!

I hope that the previous post was correct and that "your spirit has never left our sides". 2 years.....feels like an eternity and just yesterday at the same time. I'm trying so hard to honor you by finding peace and happiness in my life. I KNOW that is what you would want for all of us. You're simply the best!

Two years ago... one of my closest LEO friends was on his way to assist at the scene. I watched the news closely and was devastated at what had happened. For the last two years, those that loved you have mourned your loss. Today, on the second anniversary of your death, instead of tears and sadness, may they experience peace and only happy memories of you, for your spirit has never left their side. The reflections your family and friends have left here make evident their love and admiration for you. May your rest in heaven continue to be one of peace. I pray that God will continue to bring strength and healing to Angie and your kids. On this day, and every day, we remember. You are sorely missed and your sacrifice and bravery will never be forgotten. Thank you, Kevin.

Still dropping by your Memorial page every day, to pay my respects. Praying that your family is doing well, that they have found peace and happiness again. I am sure that you will forever be in their hearts and those of all who knew and loved you! Rest in peace, Marsh.

THANKS FOR LOOKING OVER THINGS. SOMEONE NEEDS TO.

Hearing this song a lot lately. Reminds me of you and how much you loved CREED.
"Higher"
When dreaming I'm guided to another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
