Reflections for Sergeant Bradley W. Crawford
Sgt. Crawford,
On today, the 20th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Clark County. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Sgt. Crawford,
20 years has passed since the night I was awakened from my sleep at 2AM by my shift super with the shocking news that you had passed away due to your injuries sustained while performing your duties on shift. I remember your smile and friendly spirit whenever you came into the records unit. Your children are all grown now, life moves on for us all, but your law enforcement family will never forget your warm, caring nature, and love for our God.

17 years Brad..........and today it hits hard again.
CCSO is burying a brother today. I believe in my heart that you welcomed Jeremy home on that fateful day two weeks ago when a coward shot and killed him. And today you look down together at our family of blue, green and tan. The badges, the oaths, the battles fought and lost seem to be what threads us all together.
But what really does is our Lord and the promise of everlasting life. I miss you and I look forward to a long talk when I see you again my friend.

I know you are at peace and celebrating with your sister who passed 4 weeks prior to you. The people that you have touched, that you have through your love for Christ-and ministered to. You were and are a person who's life deserves to be celebrated.
Professionally, you were one of the best of the best. No matter what was going on, you communicated well & helped in any capacity that you could. When you were on duty, we in dispatch never had to worry if you had our backs. Just like we do our best to have your back.
Personally, you were an incredible person. When I struggled spiritually, you encouraged and counseled without putting those who struggled down. I will always remember your non-judgmental kind words. I am not perfect, but when I struggle, I remember your words, encouragement, lending books and your humor.
As a husband, you were true, loving and committed. You wanted all that were married to understand that tough times would come, but it was worth the struggle to stay strong. As a father, you were compassionate, steady, loving and an example. Again, you wanted all those that had children to rise to the challenge of raising children who were confident, loved, secure and had faith. You passed your life experience onto those that took a minute to listen. You never pushed, prodded or put down. You lead your family & officers with the highest of integrity.
Thank you for your service and a life well lived! You will never be forgotten!

Brad and I were classmates at the academy for the LAPD in 1983. I didn't see Brad after graduation, but I will always remember him. Unfortunately, he is the second classmate we have lost in the line of duty.
You and Chuck Heim are together protecting God
RIP Brad

Brad,
I never got the chance to meet you but from what everyone has to say you sound like a absolutely great guy. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten and when I go into the line of duty I'll remember what you have done for our county.
Thanks for everything you have done.

Still loved, still missed and very dear."

My Brother
Your life was a great gift to me and our memories together, well, they are just too many to count. I miss you in so many ways and yet I know that you are always with me in my heart. Thank you for being such a good brother to me. And thank you for also showing me what it means to life a life with great courage. I love you my brother and say hello to Pop and Linda for me!

Dad, today we remember you and all you gave. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and miss you. It's crazy to me that it's been 7yrs, and yet your legacy lives on. You touched so many peoples lives within your short life. God knew what he was doing when he took from us and in fact he knew in your death more would come to know him. I am proud to call you my father and feel privileged to have been raised by such great parents, I can only hope that I will inspire my kids as you have inspired me to be a better person. Because my faith in Christ I am given hope every day and I know one day I will see you again. I miss you dad,
Love, Darcy

Brad, I just learned of your passing. I was in scouts with your son, and knew your daughters in highschool. You taught me some merit badges and I did some ride along's in Flagstaff with you. You touched my life, however briefly, in a positive way, and the character of your kids and your family attests to the type of man you were. You are, and will be, missed. Thank you for the life you lived, and for laying it down in service to your community.

We are from Clark Co. and are in Washington DC. We visited the Police Memorial today. We located Sergeant Crawford's name and said a prayer for him. He is not forgotten.

We still miss you. The life of integrity you lived each day of your time on earth is reflected in the lives of the deputies who worked with you and in the people of Clark County whose lives fell at some point under your care, and in your children and grandchildren. I am reminded through your life that God's ways are mysterious to us and yet they always work out for good. I am confident that God welcomed you with open arms, his faithful servant to the end.
