Reflections for Patrol Officer Trey Michael Hutchison
I said, "God, I hurt."
And God said, I know."
I said, "God, I cry a lot."
And God said, "That is why I gave you tears."
I said, "God, I am so depressed."
And God said, "That is why I gave you Sunshine."
I said, "God, life is so hard."
And God said, "That is why I gave you loved ones."
I said, "God, my son died."
And God said, "So did mine."
I said, "God, it is such a loss."
And God said, "I saw my son nailed to a cross."
I said, "God, but your loved one lives."
And God said, "So does yours."
I said, "God, where are they now?"
And God said, "Mine is on My right and yours is in the Light."
I said, "God, it hurts."
And God said, "I know."
Trey,
I did not know you and I by chance stumbled apon this website. Inside I cry...I pray for you and your family. Sometimes I get so mad at society and wonder what God has in store for this world for being so bad. It is a scary thought. The good day young as they say.....I hope your journey now is a magnificent one. After reading all of the thoughts here....there are people who really really love you. Your Mom, wife, and sister in law have expressed that several times. It is nice to see a family that loved you dearly. God Bless you "Treysome".

Trey, it's been one year and you are so missed. I believe that some people here will never recover from losing you. Joe and Tifani really miss you. I really am not sure how a person can recover when they lose their best friend. Like I said, I'm not sure they ever will. Your always thought of and always missed

It has been a year since you gave your life for the City of Bossier Trey and your spirit lives on in the hearts of our Officers and their families. You are a Hero in the eyes of so many and we feel your presence everytime an officer has to go on a call. I feel in my heart that you are an Angel sent down from the Heavens above to watch over our men and women in blue, to bring them home safely to the ones they love and for that I am truly blessed.
Trey's Family,
Thank you so much for such a wonderful man. He is an Angel and a Hero. My prayers and love are with you everyday. Words can not heal the pain, but they are here to comfort you and to reflect how much your son means to this City and beyond. Feel comfort in knowing he is with you all, watching over you while you sleep, standing beside you when you need him the most, and Luke, standing with you when you said your vows to the one you love. May God Bless you and your families.

My brother in blue, I just wanted you and your family to know that your sacrifice has not been forgotten.
I also want to let your family know that law enforcement all across La and the US thank them tremendously for the effort they expended in getting the "Trey Hutchinson" act passed. Through your sacrifice perhaps another brother/sister in blue will make it home safely.
God Speed my friend.

Hey brother,
I unfortunately didn't get an opportunity to know you that well, and the only chance I got to work with you was when we sweated our butts off doing foot patrol in the Annex. The next time we met was on that tragic day. I pray for you and all of your family. It truly breaks my heart everytime I walk pass your picture in the lobby of the police station and think of what you sacrificed for all of us! May GOD bless you, buddy.....till we meet again.

I just found out about Trey. I went to Airline High School with him. I am sorry for your loss. Your family is in my prayers. I remember Trey as being a really funny guy that could make anyone laugh. I also remember him as someone that cared for his fellow man at any cost. I hope that your pain eases over time and know that so many cared for Trey.

Dear Wendy,
We were so touched by your note of concern. Mike Pierce, Mike Williams, and a couple of other Bossier City police officers came to Roy's funeral last week. The support meant so much to Bryan. I thought of all of you the night Roy was killed and Bryan was slightly injured. In a way, I hoped you wouldn't find out because the date was so close to one year since Trey's tragedy occurred, and I felt it would really upset you. We feel a special bond with all of you. Bryan is doing okay.
We are so sorry we won't be able to attend Luke and Brittney's wedding. Bryan's shift is short a man since Roy's death and it is next to impossible for him to get a day off right now. His department is very small. We will be with you in spirit, though! We have discussed visiting the weekend of August 20 if possible. Make sure to have pictures for us to see of the wedding. We know it will be just beautiful. Even if they wore potato sacks, they would still be gorgeous!
Hope to see you very soon.
Love,
Carol

Treysome,
I miss you and love you so much...Luke's wedding is just 2 weeks away and it is so hard not having you here even though we know you are with us, you are "the best man" of course...but I need you to hug me, make me laugh, and tell me it's all going to be OK, like no one but you could! I can't tell you how much I miss your hugs, your smile, and your laugh.

Trey, it's been almost a year. A lot of things have happened in this last year. The state of Louisiana passed the " Trey Hutchison" act. Your mom did an excellent job in this matter as did Rep. Smith. You would be proud of them both. Tifani did an excellent job in Marshall speaking at the memorial service. She misses you more then you would ever know. We all miss you here, each and every day.

Dear Trey,
We've never met, but my husband is an officer. He didn't know you either, but all officers are kindred spirits and so we paid our respects @ your wake. Attending the wake changed me and I became very uncomfortable with him starting patrol. It was his dream, & he needed me so I supported him. He has been very brave and does a good job, just as I'm sure you did. I was still petrified months after your death, and kept thinking about you and your wife. My husband recommended that I needed closure and maybe I should pay my respects @ your graveside. We stopped by your grave yesterday (which I'm sure you already know) and I burst into tears. I felt like a big weight was lifted. I still pray for your wife and I hope she'll be ok. You're a hero to me and my husband and I'm comforted that even though your death came way too quickly, you're with our heavenly father.

Trey, I was at the station today and I was walking out the front door and I saw your picture in the lobby. I have been thinking about what has happen for a while now and I still dont know what to think. It seem's like yesterday we were at the boat ramp makeing stupid phone calls to the front deak. You and your family have been in my pryers since that gloomy day. I miss you, but will see you again one day. Thanks for being a friend in a time of need.

To the family of Officer Hutchison,
My family and I sat in front of you guys at the Candle Light Vigil in Washington. (I remember b/c I loved your t-shirts :-)) I just wanted to let you all know that I am keeping you in my prayers, especially as the one year anniversary of your loss approaches. I can't promise that it will be an easy time, as I know from experience how deep the pain goes and how fresh the wounds always seem to be, but I can promise that I will be thinking of you from just a few states northeast... On the one year anniversary of my uncle's death (2-12-05), my cousin said to me, "You know, this is kind of a monumental feat for us all. Everyday from here on out, is a day that we have already lived through." The more I thought about it, the more I realized that that day was the beginning of the healing season... I hope that one thought brings you some comfort.

It's taken me some time to write, because I didn't want to accept what happened. I'm sorry. And I wish I would have been there with you. I was always and still am, so proud of you and respected you for going out in the world and making a name for yourself before coming home and starting your life here. I had a dream last night that you were with us. You, me and Joey were together going somewhere. It was a good dream and I woke up happy. Thanks for being there. Laslty, your name sake cousin, Cammy Trae, will know what a great and terrific cousin she was named after. Candon also misses you, even though he only met you once or twice. He talks about you all the time. Anytime he sees a BCPD officer. Until we see you again, Love you Skip and Tara.
