Scott,
We trained, lived, laughed and grew strong together at the academy. You came into the academy a good man and left as a one of Indiana's finest. You and your family are in the thoughts and hearts of me and my family. You will not be forgotten as you have touched the lives of so many. Rest now and be happy that your work in this world is done and watch over all that are left to carry on.

Trooper Patrick, you are a legend and a hero. To stop for someone on the side of the road and then have to engage in a gun battle is beyond what one can imagine. I'm sure a lot of our fellow officers can agree, we all stop on the side of the road for people in condition white. The last thing we expect for stopping to help is to get hurt or murdered by that individual. Keep watching over us in your barracks up in heaven, and we will continue to carry your name in honor. God Bless you and God Bless your family!

Trooper Patrick was taken from his family, friends, and law enforcment family in a senseless manner. My heart goes out to the wife and child of Trooper Patrick. My husband is also a trooper in NC, and Mrs. Patrick is now living a nightmare that all troopers wives fear. As a Police Officer myself, I vow to you Mrs. Patrick that I will do everything in my power to get worthless scum such as the man that did this to your family off the streets. My prayers are with you. God Bless and Good luck.
