Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Nikky,

Your funeral burns bright in my mind. Yet the moment you died and your funeral will not be what defined your life.

You will be remembered...

-by the laughter of your friends, as they recall your spirit and share your stories.

-by your wife, parents and family - as they slowly move past their grief to remember with joy their special times with you.

-and most importantly, in the living legacy that is your daughter's.

And you will be remembered by your brothers and sisters in blue, whether they worked with you or not. They will continue - in your memory - to walk the streets proudly on earth, as you walk the streets of heaven.

Rest in peace - we will meet again.

To Trooper Nik Green family,

WHEN I COME TO THE END OF THE ROAD

And the sun is set for me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room
Why cry for a soul like me
Miss me a little, but not to long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me --- but let me go.

For this a journey we all must take
And each must go alone
For it is part of the Master's plan
A step on the road to home
When you are lonely and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me --- but let me go.

A sad and tragic loss.

I grew up in Oklahoma for most of my life I always respected the officers of law enforcement. You were only doing your job not only patroling Oklahoma's Highways but you put your life on the line in order to protect and to serve the people of Oklahoma. Rest now in peace, God is with you at all times in all places.

Nikky,

I have come to this site time and time agian and I still can't find the right words to describe how awsome of a man you really are. I will always charish the long talks we had while holding DL checks and the advise you gave me when I was looking to get married. I will never forget you nikky Green. Nik, if I could turn back the hands of time to that terriable morning, I would have stood in your place and not have given it a second thought.

Nik, thank you for everything, from being a good friend to getting me to re-dedicate my life to the Lord. Your the best and I will miss you. I will keep your wife and girls in my prayers. See you soon friend.

Linda and family,

Thanks for sharing Nik with the world. You'll be in my prayers always.

I did not personally know Trooper Green, however many of my co-workers did. When we found out about his death, it hit our department very hard...so close to home, and to such a good person. Many people I know had been stopped by Trooper Green, and I never heard them say a bad thing about them. They always told me that he could make a scary and stressful situation lighthearted, and put a smile on your face. To Trooper Green's family, you are in our prayers and Trooper Green's sacrifice will not be in vain. God Speed good brother and may the Lord be with you for eternity. We will take it from here.

For Trooper Green's family,

I had the privilege of meeting Trooper Green's mother at the OHP awards ceremony in the City April 1. I would simply like to say that being the grandmother to one of the OHP Troopers I can certainly appreciate the trama you are going through. We live every day with the fear of what you are experiencing.
After hearing what was spoken of Trooper Green I'm sure he was a fine young man who enjoyed his work, family and his relationship with Christ. Our prayers are with Linda and her daughters, the mothers, fathers and all the friends and relatives that loved him and will miss him.

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003).
Unfortunately, I had to add the name of another friend. Deputy Jeffrey Hewitt, Buncombe County (NC) Sheriff’s Department, E.O.W. April 4, 2004.

We all grieve over the lives lost in the line of duty. I hope you can find some comfort knowing that there are countless prayers that go out for your family.

These are senseless tragedies that never seem to stop. God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

...Gone, but never Forgotten....

I know that it has been almost 4 months but it is really starting to sink in that you are gone. Before it was just a dream and now that dream has become reality and it is harder and harder to deal with. You are one of the biggest role models to me and i know that everyone that knew you has been blessed because of you. You are truly a gift from god. I miss seeing you drive by the house. but i know that you are watching over us and that you will take care of everyone. Milton and dad are still dealing with it. Watch over them and all the other law enforcement as they go out to face their duties. Keep them safe. We miss you and we love you very much. You will Never be forgotten.

Linda & Girls--I dont know how it feels for you because i have never been there but i know this is hard and words cant express how sorry i am this happened to you guys. If you ever need anything you know we are here for you. We love you guys so much and i know that you will get through this.

Brittany & Milton WE LOVE AND MISS YOU NIK!!!

Linda and girls,

We didn't know Nik personally, however, we knew that he was an awesome man of God by just speaking with you, Linda. We remember talking to you for a while in Wal-mart about the awesome work Nik was doing in your church and with your youth. Your eyes lit up as you told us how much he loved the youth of your church and how many children were being drawn into your church because of Niks great work and committment. We also know your relationship with him was one many married couples long for. You had such great love for him. Your love for God only peaked over that and made it shine even brighter. You are an awesome woman of God and I know that you will pull through this. May you and the girls have peace about this. Our prayers are with you always. If you need anything, please let us know.

My eyes have been opened to see that the small things in life that I get so upset about are not worth fretting over...that we need to see the good things (friends) God has blessed us with and be thankful for them. You are that to me Linda, and I am thankful that I know you!

God Bless you and your Family.......
Nik...you are a TRUE HERO in our eyes...Our brother in Christ...We love you!

Don't think of him as gone away
His journey's just begun,
Life holds so many facets,
This earth is only one

Just think of him as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of him as living in the hearts of
those he touched.
for nothing loved is ever lost,
and he was loved so much.

We miss you Nik. I didn't know you all that well, but what I did know was that you were an awesome person, loving, caring, and everything in between. I still can't believe you're gone, but I know you're up there watching over those you loved.

Dear Family of Nikky J. Green " OHP TROOPER 198 "

I'm sorry to write you this letter of sorrow. I recently heard of this traggic death from a state trooper in Oklahoma. I never had the pleasure of meeting trooper Green but from what I have heard he was an outstanding man with love for his family, church and job.

Myself once being a police officer, I know the pain you are going through. I lost my partner in the line of duty to a mad man on a shooting spree. I prey hard for your family and that justice comes fast for this man that so cowerdly took a wonderful mans life.

I know its been a long haul to the Green family, please know that my family will be praying for you. To the State Troopers, police officers and sheriff's deputys please watch yourself.

God Bless..........

I cannot think you're not alive somewhere.
I think of you just as I did before.
No sudden gust of wind has closed the door
Or made your presence vanish in thin air.
I write you this because I know you're there;
That even after death there must be more.
So does faith one's inner sun restore
After bitter darkness few can bear.
My mind and heart have not yet lost a friend
Even though my senses are bereft,
For you remain the witness of my soul.
No mere accident our friendship can end
So long as I have will and memory left.

In loving memory of our friend Nikky J. Green

Nik as I write this it is almost 2 months after your passing. I have driven alot of the same miles that you have in Tillman county. We knew alot of the same people. We lived in the same house in Frederick, at different times of course. We both were firearms instructors and drove camaro's. We both were blessed with beautiful daughters. We both have daughters named Morgan Shea. I have alot of good memories of Troop. M and the people of that area and I know you will forever be missed. I know you will not need to worry about Linda and the girls.They will be taken care of. You were what other troopers should strive to be. You were caring, compassionate and your actions over your short career touched many people.

God Bless You, Linda, and the girls
