Hello Bear, Just needed to say hello. I love you and miss you so much. Your big boy is doing fine. He's a teenager now and growing up so fast. He wishes you were here to share in these important moments.

Hello Bear, Just needed to say hello. Send down some prayers for this world and the November election. I pray that God allows the Democrats to get back in the White House. Wish you were here to talk about the elections with me. Miss you dearly, Lulu

Hello Bear, Thinking of you as usual. I deeply miss you everyday. I read that one of your Lts. passed away. I do recall you speaking of Lt. Howe. I don't know if this is the same Lt. Howe that you spoke of, but I will find out. If it is, I remember you speaking highly of him. I will keep his family in my prayers and please welcome him there with you above. You both will walk a different beat which is peaceful and without discord. Love, Lulu

Brian,
I just wanted to stop by and say I missed you. You are a great guy and have a great outlook on life. The way you loved talking to people in the community, your dedication to work and you always smiling and laughing. We had some great days in the SWD. Snead and I talk about you and Gavin and how you both gave everything to Baltimore and we will never forget.

Take care my friend

It’s hard to believe that it has been four years already and words still can’t explain how much you are really missed. Not a day goes by without missing you and your silly smile. You will always be my best and dearest friend and I will always love you for being there for me when I needed you the most. Your words of wisdom have helped me through some really tough times in my life. And I will always love you for that and for being a real true friend. I love you but God Loves You Best. Always in my heart Shannie.

Hey B, today is the anniversary of your death and it is really hard for me right now for a number of reasons. One I went to your grave about a week ago because you were on my mind so much and I just wasn't feeling right. I sat there with you for about a hour trying to understand what was wrong with me. The very next day, I went to work and saw on the email that one of the persons involved in your death was out of jail and was wanted again. I never knew he was out. I had the unpleasureable task of sharing this with your dear wife, who knew nothing about it either. He was wanted for the same thing that you were looking for him for. After some research I found that he was released last year without anyone knowing. I'm at a lost for words, it doesnt surprise me, but it hurts. It hurts even more that your wife wasnt even informed of his release. This news could not come at a worse time. I still cant work on this day and its been four years now. I just pray that you help me find the strength that you had so that I can carry on in your footsteps. This is so hard B.
I miss you dearly. Your friend and partner forever.

Hello Bear, This has been a tough two weeks since I received news that the other person concerning your death is out of prison and was released May of last year. I was never notified by the Vine organization that he was released and has another warrant for his arrest for another domestic voilence charge. I know GOD is in charge and his justice can't be compared to any justice we have on this earth. That is my only peace. I miss you as if it was yesterday. May God rest your soul until we meet again. Continue to watch over us. I love you Brian, Lulu

Hello Bear, I wanted to say Happy Fathers Day to you, but the word happy can't escape my lips. I deeply miss you today. Brandon's having a tough day.

Hey B, I know that father's day is coming up and your family are not the same without you. I pray that in heaven you have a blessed father's day for it may not be a happy one here without you. You have been on my mind and heart so much lately and its all I can do to hold back the tears. I just cant believe that you are gone and that it still hurts so much just like it was just yesterday that you left us. Look after your family, we all miss you!
Your Friend Forever,

I really miss those nights that you were patrolling Baltimore and Hilton and I would be out doing bails and see flashing lights behind my truck.I would be saying to myself here we go,just what I need to get pulled over.Then as I pull over,you would get out of your car laughing the whole way, and I would laugh seeing it was you.You did that to me all the time, but I would always fall for it.I kind of felt like we had a lot in common because you were out there till 11pm and I would normally try to be heading home around the same time.I always felt safe from the street ills of the city because everyone around there knew that we were friends.It was so funny how Mengle and some of the other crooked officers around there used to try to mess with me because of the type of vehicle I was driving and that I looked too young to be driving it.They would harrass me because I would be out there talking to the same guys that they had just locked up yesterday, that I had just bailed out the next day.I loved it when you would pull up and these same officers knew not to bother me,because I was Brian's friend.I loved it because I knew some of them hated me for it.But enough reflecting on those old memories.
I miss you and loved you like a brother.I wish you were still here.I keep rememberting the day that this tragedy occurred.You always answered my calls because you thought that my job was too dangerous for a woman anyway.I heard that an officer was shot in the village and I knew that you had started working that area.You said you wanted to be closer to your parents.I tried to hit you on your nextel,but you didn't answer,but I kept trying.There was a strange pit in my stomach that made me sick.I went to sleep.
Later that night when my husband came in he asked me if I had heard about the officer that was killed and I got an instant attitude.I did not hear the officer's condition,but I didn't want to her it anyway, because I still had not been able to reach you.When I saw your picture on the news,my heart was crushed.
A lot of my clients had really had bad experiences with the officers in the SWD,but you would give them breaks.I loved you for the way you were.They always say people get what they deserve in the end,but Bryan you did not deserve this.You were one of the good guys, with morals and integrity.You cared about the job you did.It was not just a paycheck.If that was the case you could have stayed in the safe position that you were in before.This was a choice that you made ,just like I told you that my being a Bailbondsman was mine .You didn't understand mine and I certainly did not understand yours.But you chose it and did your best at it.My heart is still breaking after all this time.I love you and miss you Bryan.Heaven has definately got an angel. Love you Bryan,
Your friend Nikki

Hello Bear, All holiday's hold a different meaning now. This one coming is harder than others. I look at Brandon and he is your twin the more he gets older. In stead of shopping for a present for you, he asked me where were we going to get flowers from for fathers day for you? Another blow to the heart for me. He wanted to know which place has the best flowers. I thought to myself and held back the tears, what a young man you left me with. Thank you! I know he will make you proud of him someday. Love and miss you dearly, LULU

Hello Bear, Just needed to let you know that I love and miss you. Life will never be the same without your presence here! I'm trying, but it's not easy. Who said it would be, right? I am watching Brandon mature and it hurts that you can't give him the talks he needs. I know you will help give me the right words to say. Love You, Lulu

Hello Bear, Just wanted to say please welcome the 4 recent officers that were killed in other states. I will pray for them, their families, and their fellow officers from their agencies. It never seems to end. My heart drops everytime I hear another officer no matter what state has been killed. Continue to watchover your fellow co-workers here in Baltimore City. The summer is coming and I feel things will get worst in this city. Love and Miss You, Lulu

Hello Bear, Everything reminds me of you. I see things or here songs that make me think of you and I laugh or cry. Your great smile and contagious laughter is deeply missed. I have read wonderful things written in the almost 4 years that your fellow officers in Baltimore City, extended family of officers from other states, and citizens from near and far. I thank everyone who I didn't know for your kind words and not forgetting Brian. It means alot to hear kind comments from others. It just lets me know even more that how special you were and you did make an impact in others lives other than your family members at home. Love You always, Lulu

Brian,

It's been almost fourteen years since we met at the Police Academy and subsequently served in the Southwest District together. You were always a positive influence, hard worker, compassionate and Comedian. Your dedication to duty and loyalty to citizens of Baltimore are forever Honored. The experiences we shared left an ever lasting positive impresson on myself and everyone you came into contact with. You are "The BALTIMORE SON" and you are not Forgotten. Your "LEGACY" Lives On...

Your Friend,
"Scott"

Hello Bear, I just enjoyed a wonderful week with Corey. He's really growing up in someways. Now I come on this website and read a wonderful message left by someone that you touched in someway that you and I didn't know about once again. You were my Hero when you were here and you are still my Hero from above. It's nice to know that someone considers you their Hero also. K.Walker asked you to walk with them as they venture into their career in law enforcement. I will ask you to be with them making the correct decisions, staying alert to the dangers of the job, and guiding them in everyway to wear the uniform with pride and digity since law enforcement officers don't get the respect and support from the public that they deserve. It maybe due to a few bad apples or just the way the evil world has become. Be with this Officer in anyway they need you to be. Thank you K. Walker for your compliment. Brian will guide you from above. He gave you some advice that someday soon, I hope you understand. God will be with you as you start your new career. I wish you blessings as you work the evil streets of Baltimore and as you enter the
academy. Peace Be with you! Lorrie Winder

You know. Its been, wow almost four years. I've graduated from college and Im ready to start pursuing my dreams. I remember the day I met you. I sat in the southwestern district roll call room, at the back table and you entered the room joking with another officer and had a distinctive laugh. You walked over to me and asked me what i was there for. I told you i was there for a ride-along. And you asked me why. And i said because i want to be a cop. I said i was in school for criminal justice and when i graduated i was goin to become a police officer. Though the conversation we had was brief. I remember one statement the most. You said" dont try to be a Hero, The biggest thing is going home to your Family". I didnt fully understand at the moment. But i continued my ride-along, loved every minuet and asked the duty commander could i ride with you on my next visit. My next visit would have been the day those cowards took your life, and i often think about what i would have done had i been there. I said all of that to say. You were a hero, You are my hero and You will always be remembered as such. Watch over me and the other Deputies as i began my career in this Cold City. Guide and Teach me the lessons you would have taught me if you wear here. Your always in my thoughts and Prayers. Much love, Peace and Blessings to Your Family.

First time I have written, I enjoyed working with you during my time in the Southwest. This unappreciative city truly lost a good officer and good person.
