Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Oh how our world as we knew it changed on that awful December day. On Dec. 25 we went to bed stressing over all of the Christmas garb thrown all through the house, and then we got the most TERRIBLE news on Dec. 26. We kept saying over and over " Surely someone has made a mistake, not our Nik" This whole experience has made us realize just how SHORT life really is, and how each of us should live life as if it were our last. We have tried to explain to Brody (our 6 yr old, who is in the same class as Brooklyn) just what has been going on. His answer is he will share his daddy with them. If only it were that simple.
Nik- we did not tell you near enough how much we loved you, and how we loved seeing that grin like you were up to no good. Rowd wants you to take care of Brenna and Caden until he meets you again(keep our babies in your arms)

To all other law enforcement workers: A wise Cotton County under Sherrif told us that Nik always preached to our guys "Be Safe, Be Safe, Go Home, Go Home"

Linda, Cortni, Brooklyn, and Morgyn, we love you all so very very much. These next days will be hard, almost unbearable. However, we are here for you. XOXOXOXO

Much Love to All,
Randy, Denna, & Brody Green

Cousin to the fallen HERO NIK GREEN #198 will live on in us forever.

To the family of Trooper Green I am sorry for your loss. Just remember that he was the Lord's work. The Lord needed a good man in heaven and he got it. Rest easy brother, we will take it from here.

I did not know you but I new the one that took your life. You are the one that suffered and it was so wrong for someone that used to save lives to take a life. Why! Why! WHY! No one knows but our Lord and Savior. Nik, from what I read and hear you are a great officer, husband, and father. Not always in that order I am sure. I know you will be missed here on earth but Heaven you will be greatly appreciated and loved for the acts you did here on earth. When I make it to heaven I will make it a priority to find you and give you a hug. You are a HERO!!! For always and forever.

Nik was a wonderful person, he was proud to be a Christian, Father, Husband, Trooper. Everytime he put on one of those hats, he did the best job he could do. Some days, he wore more than one hat & he was a christian in ALL that he did. The absolute grief that we feel as a family is indiscribable. Not only have we lost a loved one, but the community has lost a role model. There was never a doubt in Nik's mind about answering the call on Dec. 26, 2003. Even though his shift was not due to start for another few hours. His was a dedication to serve, protect, help, & guide those he came in contact with. Even people he arrested had the greatest respect and love for him...He will be missed a great deal...

We can take some comfort that Nik had accomplished all that God set forth for him in just 35 short years...what a blessing!

Nik, I love you and I will miss you more than I could ever express here...Thank you for loving my children, and believing in all of their talents. Thank you also for sharing your love of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Your loving cousin,

Nik, was a good trooper & friend. Nik came & talked to me when he was working one Sunday morning. We had a very nice visit about him & his work for the LORD. He always made time to stop & talk to me. He will be missed but NEVER forgotten.

To the family of Trooper Green: You have my deepest sympathy and prayers. I was outraged when I heard about the loss of Nikky. I had the pleasure of growing up in the same town and attending the same school as he. WHAT A WONDERFUL PERSON AND TRUE HERO YOU WILL ALWAYS BE!

Dear brothers and sisters in law enforcement,
On December 30th 2003 I attended my first funeral for an officer slain in the line of duty. Those that knew Trooper Nik Green know what a wonderful human being he was. And I suspect that the rest of the civilized world now knows that too. Since that horrible day, my home and my world has been filled with the heart breaking sounds of sobbing and endless questions of "why this man". I have attempted to be strong for my wife Karen who can barely find the strength to stand. My young son has asked for Nik. I feel guilty for sometimes wanting to be alone in my grief. I feel guilty for having wanted to stay home with my wife and kids on Christmas Eve instead of visiting with my in-laws. You see Nik Green is my wife's brother, my children's uncle and my brother-in-law. We did spend time with Nik on Christmas Eve. I thank God for that. The time was too short. I loved Nik and I feel guilty for not sharing with Nik many thoughts and feelings I have had over the years. I plan to change that about me.
Regarding the services for Nik, my family was moved beyond words. Karen and I want to thank, with every fiber of our beings, every Trooper and Police Officer who came from near and far to pay their respects to Nik. I shook hands with several Officers whose uniforms I did not recognize. Most details of that day were lost due to the emotions. I was so proud to see members of my department standing on street corners offering salutes. Many Oklahoma Troopers offered kind words and assured me that the investigation was progressing. Over the past several days I have come to realize what I had forgotten....that all law enforcement officers are members of my family.

Very Sincerely,

There are not enough words that can describe all our thoughts and
feelings about this situation. In my eyes there is not another man
that can fill the shoes of Nik Green. Obviously by yesterdays attendence for Nik's homecoming. That is overwhelming in itself.
Linda and daughters just know that you are protected by God and
man. Thanks guys for the capture and there will be swift justice.
Thanks Nik for being the god fearing man that you are. We all should take example from this man.

Our hearts are sadden once again at the loss of a fellow brother in law enforcement. I stood with over 3000 fellow brothers and sisters, family and friends to pay respect to Trooper Nik Green, a brother that "Gave the ultimate sacrifice." May the Good Lord look upon the family, fellow troopers, and Trooper Green's youth group and bless each and everyone through this very trying time. God Bless you - Trooper Nik Green.

To the family and friends of Trooper Green:

You have my deepest sympathy and prayers in your time of sorrow. May it come as a comfort to you to know of the respect that we hold for Trooper Green.

It takes a very special person to truly be a good officer and a even better person to be a hero. Even though I never met Trooper Nikky J. Green, I know by all I have seen and heard, that he was definately an excellant officer and a true hero.

Trooper Nik:
It is so sad to come to this site and see all the officers down.
According to these reflections, you knew Jesus personally and that
blesses me greatly as I know I will meet you face to face one day
and be able to thank you for your sacrifice. There is none greater than
Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
We don't get to Heaven based on what we do,
but what He did for us!! AMEN! Thank you for your fine
example to those that worked with you and knew you. There is now a
huge void that cannot be filled, but as you are remembered, thoughts will
turn to your exemplary life and we will be filled with pride and respect
and love for the man you became. You were a wonderful testimony to
the Lord you served. God be with all those who mourn and may His
promises lift all those with heavy hearts for many years to come.

As we lay another hero to rest today my heart go out to Trooper Greens family and co-workers. I will never understand why this has to happen to people. I never new Trooper Green but I know that he must have been a very good and fine man because he was OHP!! Trooper Green your duty here is done now it is time for you to rest.Mrs. Green and kids, your husband and daddy is still with you only now not in body. He will watch over you till you meet again. Kids to see your daddy all you need to do is look up into the stars made by God and find the brightest star and that will be his star shining down watching over you. I wish I could make thing better someway but all I can do is pray for you and know that God does indeed only take the best!! God will always be there trust in him as Trooper Green has done and one day you WILL run into his arms again. God bless Trooper Green and his family and God bless all of our OHP HEROS!!

To the family,
The man of the hour you never think it will happen to you no matter how much you train there is always something or someone out there to stop us from what we want the most!
Nik's love was God and the devil out sent the son of evil but as a brother of christ I know Nik didn't lose the battle! He won a crown of jewels. My heart and prayers are with you my God keep you in his heart in these days of need .
