Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I santified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." Jeremiah 1:5

I knew Nik for a short time, however the positive impression that he left will never be forgotten. My prayers are with Linda and his beautiful girls. He is a true HERO. To his OHP Brothers the impact of Nik's loss is tremendous and difficult my prayers are with you all.

Nik, It has been a few weeks now. I still can't believe you are gone. You are missed so very much. You will be forever in our minds and prayers. You were such a great friend, person, and Trooper. Our ranks will never be the same. I never heard you speak bad of anyone. You are a true Godly man and it was an honor to serve with you. Thanks for making the OHP better. Linda and the girls will be forever in our prayers. We love and miss you, Nik.

Linda, Courtni, Brooklyn & Morgan: My thoughts and prayers are with you each day. I cannot fathom the depth of your loss. Nik set a standard, both professionally and personally, that others will continue to strive to achieve. His death has left a void that will remain in our hearts forever. God bless and keep you in his protective arms. We are praying for you.

Heaven gained a new angel on December 26th, and I know Nik is watching over you with great love. You will forever be a part of our "Troop M Family".

I had the privledge of working with Nik for two years while he worked in Tillman County and what can I say that everyone else hasn't already said, Nik was a incredible person. He was the type of man that everyone should strive to be. He had his priorities straight....God, family and work.
I can remember Nik coming into dispatch and sitting down and visiting with us. He always had a smile on his face, always positive. He almost always had a sandwich from Subway and he'd always offered us half of it.....that was Nik, always giving and thinking of others.
I was working the morning of December 26, 2003 when Tillman County received word of Nik at 7:10. I was in shock and all I could think was...why, why....why!!!! We all think it could never happen in this part of the world but that morning our world was shattered when reality struck.
Now we have a difficult job to do, having to continue on without Nik and we all will go through trying times. But we will make it through it just fine because we have a angel in brown watching over us!

198 FOREVER

Ours hearts are saddened by the loss of one our brothers who was one of Oklahoma's very best.
Nikky represented his family and his state in the highest possible manner.

Nikki will never be forgotten. His family will forever be in our prayers and thoughts. I am sure that someday Nikki will be reunited with his family in heaven.

To the Green Family.
On several occasions I had the privilege of working with Nik at fire and accident scenes. He was always very professional and always very friendly. It was a great pleasure for me and my family to have known him, and we will always remember him. My boys would see him in his OHP car and smile, and say, there goes Nik. You are in our prayers. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!

Thank You so very much for doing one of the bravest jobs in the world. And I am so sorry for your family. We love you and pray for your family.

To Linda and the kids,
I cant express how much Nik meant to me, I was a misguided young police officer when I met Nik. Nik took me by the hand and help give me direction and goals in life. I will never forget all the days on the range and the times I got myself into more then I could handle and good old M198 would come and bail me out. Nik thanks for all you did and helping to turn me around, you will never be forgotten and I will strive to follow in the footsteps that you did. I have never met a more honorable man who cared so much and would do anything for anybody. I thank you Linda for supporting Nik through all of the days of his career. We are all very fortunate for getting to know Nik and I know he is watching over us. Once again Nik thanks, I will never forget all you have done for me. Rest in Peace Brother

My heart goes out to the Green family and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol in the loss of Trooper Nikky J. Green. I am a trooper with the Indiana State Police assigned to the same district Trooper Scott Patrick was assigned to, who was tragically taken from us on 12/22/2003 in a sensless act of violence. I can only imagine what the family is going through and I have and will continue to pray for you. For Trooper Green's department, shift partners and co-workers stay safe and please remember the motering public is not our enemy. They are the very people we swore to serve and protect. May GOD bless and keep you all.

at niks funeral we sang i can only imagine. we had sang that with him at church several times and when we were practing he would try to explain to us what the true meaning of the song was. i was always soo amazed to watch him talk about it cause you knew that he knew what he would do. when you talked to him you could see how excited he got when you even spoke of GOD. he was soo full of christ that it sparkled in his eyes and shown in his smile. i guess thats why he was so easy to talk to and why i looked up to him so much. it is an honor to know this great man and his family. even though his death is terrible and GOD took a wonderful man i can already see some good. it was amazing to see all of the people that nik had touched while he was here and now that hes gone even more. many lives will be changed i know that mine has and he is smiling down on us seeing what an impact he has had. i pray that this will make linda and the girls stronger and they should feel proud because GOD takes the best first. i now have a peace when i drvie because i know that 198 is riding with me. my god bless our communtiy and church and niks family. i will love him always and will never forget what a great man he was. RIP

I had the privilege of working with Nik for 2 years, while he was still M198. Nik was an awesome guy with a smile that would light up a room. Everyone that knew him would say that he was a man of great faith who loved god, his wife, his kids and his job.

Nik, thank you for the many times you prayed with me while Dalton was in and out of the hospital. For that I will always be grateful. I will be praying for your family now.

May God bless you and keep you…

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
If ye had known me, ye should have known my father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

John 14:1-7

To the Family of Nik Green,

I am so sorry for your loss. Nik was a GREAT guy, a strong christian and a roll model for all men to follow. I admire his strenth in the lord, I will use Nik fine example of christianity in my own life and family. I know it says in the Bible that God doesn't give you anything you cann't handle, and I know this has to be the hardest test of faith you've ever had to endure, but stay strong in Him and he'll see you though it. I have prayed for your family every night and I will from now on. I want to Thank all the troopers and all law enforcemant and their families for your selfless actions that make this country the very best in the world. May God bless and keep you forever. We will never forget G-198

My fiance, Dennis McElderry, was the first law enforcement casualty of 2003. Dennis died doing a job he loved, just as I'm sure Nikky did. It saddens me to know that Dennis was not the first to die in the line of duty, nor will he and Nikky be the last to die this way.

Having gone through the pain of losing Dennis I can truly understand and feel the pain that Trooper Green's family, friends, and co-workers must be feeling. My heart goes out to you all, especially to his wife. No one can truly understand the pain of our loss until they've walked in our shoes. I wish I could give you a few words of wisdom to help you through this tough time, but there isn't anything I can really say or do to make the situation better. Just know that my thoughts are with you.

Please accept my condolences on behalf of the McElderry family and remember that Nikky is part of huge law enforcement family. If you ever need anything any number of them will be there for you (as I've quickly found out!) From reading the many reflections posted here, I am certain Nikky was well respected and well loved.

Thank you for a job well done and for helping to make this world a safer place for us all. Please say "hello" to my fiance Dennis for me.

Peace, Love, Luck, and Happiness!

Please remember the fallen officers we have lost. Remember the men and women who died trying to make this world a safer and better place for us all to live in. Thank you Trooper Green for a job well done. Please continue to watch over us and protect us as only you can. You will forever be at our side and in our hearts.

For those of you who still have loved ones with us please take the time to tell them how much you appreciate and care about them.

IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.
