Reflections for Patrol Officer Trey Michael Hutchison
Trey,
I spoke today for you...I know God and you gave the strength, I don't know how I did it, but I did it for you, I told them how much you mean to all of us, how special you are to us, how you were our hero long before 8-11-04. The Criminal Justice committee passed the "Trey Hutchison Act" thru to the full LA. House of Representatives without any opposition...the next step. I know you will be honored if this bill can save even one police officer's life. But more than that I am honored God chose me to be your mom. I don't know what I did to deserve having you, but you always made me want to be a better person. I miss you so much and I love you so much. Thank you for being with me today.

Trey,
As more and more time goes by, I am finding that I think of you more and more. Everytime I roll by Van street I think of you, everytime I see Darcelle Street I think of you. Every Sunday when I'm in church...I think of you. All these miles that seperate have now turned in to another world. I know that your soul is safe with the father, and one day we will meet again. I can't wait for that day. Until then, I continue to pray that God allows me to forever see your smile, and hear your laugh.
Oh, by the way, Tifani did a great job for you last Tuesday in Marshall! You would have been so proud! So many people love you and miss you...Rest in peace my brother, rest in peace.

About a month before my father-in-law was killed in the line of duty by a person with a mental problem history, my husband Bryan told me a police officer from Bossier City had been killed in the line of duty. Never would I have dreamed that we would meet Trey's family and friends in Washington DC the following year to memorialize them both among so many more who gave their own lives while serving others. From the moment we met each one who traveled all that way to memorialize Trey, we felt we had a special connection and made lifelong friendships. What a blessing they were to us during our time there.
Trey, you must have been an awesome person indeed! Bryan and I wish we could have known you. You have a wife who is beautiful inside and out along with a whole slough of terrific family members. My heart goes out to all of your family. You will always be remembered and honored for being a hero everywhere you went, not just work. That says a lot.

Trey,
I never had the opportunity to meet you but I did meet your wife. She spoke of you with smiles and happy memories that we shared between you both when we met in DC. I know you served with honor, respect, and integrity. Rest in peace brother and watch over your wife and family members. Your wife is a wonderful lady and I know she misses you deeply.

Treysome - We just got back from Washington D.C. where you were honored for the sacrifice that you made. It was truely amazing. It was a very healing trip for me, and I know that would make you happy. I even met George Bush, and he wanted to know about you.
I still miss you so much, and I always will. With all my love.

Trey,
I never knew you. But I recently was able to meet you through your family in Washington D.C. at the COPS convention and the memorial. Through your mom and your grandmother, I learned what a special person you were and how much they loved you. (Your entire family, they were all there) They all love you very much. To his family: It was Trey's time, whether he was in Texas or in Louisiana. I am a firm believer that GOD will take you when it is your time. He just wanted Trey closer to you when he took him. Stay strong. I love you all. Call me anytime at the Joplin Missouri Police Deparmtent (417) 623-3131,

Trey,
I did not know you but I know you were very special. I meet your mom and wife at the memorial in Washington and we discovered that you probably worked with my nephew, John, in Lufkin. Your family loves and misses you as we do John. Thank you for serving and protecting us. I had left a reflection for you when you were taken and I just wanted to leave you another one to say rest in peace.

Trey,
Hey buddy, I'm going to Marshall today with Tifani for your memorial. I can't believe it's been almost a year. I've been doing this job for 25 years and I never met or worked with a finer officer or man. I still look at your picture at the top of our "Prayer Tree" in dispatch every single day. We have pictures of all of "our" guys that are in Iraq from the department in the tree and your picture is right on the very top. My son's picture is directly underneath yours and it gives me great comfort to know that you are watching over him and all of our guys both here and overseas just like you did when you were with us. I look forward to being able to tell you in person again one day, "Headquarters to 204, I show you 10-8, thanks for your assistance". We miss you buddy, keep the streets of Heaven ready for us all to be together again soon. Love ya!

Trey, I was assigned to work the patrol desk the other day, a break from the street I guess. I again saw your picture on the wall and still can't believe that you are gone. The time you worked for me on shift, I knew that you were going to be a real fine officer, you didn't let me down. You are a true American Hero and will never be forgotten. Your family will be prayed for and you will always be one of Bossiers Finest. Thank you Trey.

Well Hutch, the other day we were sitting in Dispatch, and a "Hutch" story came up, we laughed about it for a second, then there was silence, remembering what it use to be like. It is still hard to believe your gone...keep the dispatchers in Heaven busy, watch over us while we wait to see you again one day. Tomez

May the grace,mercy, and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ continue to be multiplied to the family of Trey. May you find comfort to bear the burdens of such a tremendous loss, the courage to live each day effectively, and the wisdom to truly trust God where you cannot understand His purposes. God bless you all.

Treysome, I miss you more than words can express...and I can't tell you how difficult it is to "find my way" through this, but I know I will be with you again, I know where you are and I know God will bring "good" out of even this...We will continue to be faithful to believe that...because you already know what we cannot know yet...I now truly know what "waiting upon the Lord" means and I am "waiting"...I love you eternally, Mom
Thank you all for your reflections, your memories, your condolences, and your prayers...you have brought me through many difficult moments, days and especially nights, (Trey and I both shared the "nightshift" trait). I can't express what it means to me to come to these pages and read your comforting words and to know that you haven't forgotten... Please know that I pray for the safety and support of all of you that answer the call of law enforcement...I know I will honor Trey in continuing to do so as he was dedicated to making a difference by being a police officer and I know he has. I appreciate your sharing with me.

Trey,
I found your birthday on my calendar for this coming Saturday. Man...I wish you were here so I could tease you about getting "OLD"! haha
Things aren't any better with us, we still miss you horribly. I don't guess they'll ever get better, but we do take joy in knowing that you were a man of God, and are in such a better place.
We miss you "HUTCH"... please keep smiling, and watch our backs...we all need the help. So many officers have followed you...and it's getting worse!
Anyway, I love you man, and can't wait to see you again. Take care of things up there.

I'm sitting here in dispatch at my console its about 4:00 AM things have started to die down. I pulled out the shift "Birthday List" which list everyones name, birthday, and favorite dessert. I could not help but think of you Hutch. Your name is still on the list buddy.

I miss you so much. I miss your smile. I miss your laugh. I miss you coming to the window at dispatch with your uniform all pressed, boots shined, not a hair out of place, smelling good, and of course with the biggest "Smile" on your face! There is not a day that goes by that you are not on my mind. I know your birthday is still a couple of days away; I wish I could give you a big hug, wish you Happy Birthday, and bring you your favorite dessert. You are missed so much! Happy Birthday "Hutch" you will never be forgotten.

Theres not a day goes by that I dont think about you Trey! I remember the day GOD called you home. I remember the day my phone rang and I watched the T.V. and my stomach made me sick. Even though I did not know you personally, Trey, I still feel sick everytime I stop by Hillcrest Cemetery. I stop to pay tribute. I stop to pay respect, and to never forget the sacrifice you gave.
God bless you Trey.

To my friends and family, my home away from home when Im at work. As I have sat behind the front desk, As I have read the reflections left from your wife, As I stood at attention at your beautiful flag pole dedication, I shook the hand of your father and told him thank you. Your Dad and your wife stood taller and said, "thank you" in return. No thanks are necessary on your part. We will not forget. We will always respect and appriciate all that you have done and served for in Texas and Louisiana. Thank you Trey. Thank you to all that knew you and loves you. God Bless to all of your family.

I just wanted to let all of Trey's family know you have a lot of people praying for you. We haven't forgotten you and especially not Trey. I know this is the hardest thing you have ever had to deal with, and that is why I say a prayer for you daily. Know that I ask God to hug each of you every day. I pray for you to hear Trey's laugh, and see his smile. Imagine how big his smile is in heaven, and how loud he is laughing. His uniform is sparkly clean and tucked in just perfect. Trey we love you and thank you for watching over us.

As I drove down the street today I saw a memorial sticker on the back of a vehicle. The sticker was in memory of Officer Trey Hutchison, Bossier City P.D. As a fellow LEO I felt a sinking feeling as I looked at the sticker because I knew what it meant.....another brother fallen. Then I realized that I recognized the name. Trey and I both attended the same training academy and graduated in class 150. He sat right in front of me and jogged beside me in P.T. I remember the smile that he always had on his face and how willing he was to help others. I lost contact with Trey and the rest of my classmates after we graduated. We all went to different areas of the great State of Texas and Trey moved back to Louisiana to be with his family. As I look now at our class picture I feel this sinking feeling getting worse. I just found out about this tragic event five months later. As I feel devastated by Trey's falling I know his family, the City of Bossier, and all LEOs everywhere will forever mourn his loss. I wish tragedies like this didn't happen, but unfortunately sometimes no matter how careful, tactical, and prepared you are tragedy can strike. My belief is that God chooses LEOs before we are born. We are placed here for the protection of others from the evils of this world. And when the time comes He chooses the very best to take up a shift and walk a beat in His promised paradise. The best are taken to make sure that their loved ones make it safely to His gates. I'm glad I had the opportunity to share the beginning of a wonderful and respectable career with Trey. He is the first one fallen in BPOC 150. My sincere condolences to his family, friends, co-workers, and the City of Bossier. I'll never forget you Trey. I'll do the best I can here so that I can see your smile again brother.
