Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Todd,
I can't believe it's been 2 years since that fateful day. I will never forget standing at the hospital and having to have those horrible words repeated to me. You are a wonderful person and will always will be remembered as such. Your family should know they raised a great caring person. You will never be forgotten no many how many years pass. Continue to rest in peace knowing we continue to fight the battle for you! Love you brother!

To the family and loved ones of Detective Todd Fatta and his fellow officers with the Broward County Sheriff's Office:

On this the second anniversary of Todd's tragic death, I wanted to honor and remember him today. Todd's professionalism and dedication will never be forgotten, nor will his courage and valor.

In reading the loving reflections left by his friends and co-workers I can see that he was very well respected and is sorely missed. I hope that God is holding him in the sweetest part of his heart and the most gentle part of his soul.

I am so sorry that Todd was robbed of his life so young and so tragically, but through his heroism and the profound sense of duty with which he lived his life, he made an immeasurable difference. May his spirit continue to soar and may his memory continue to inspire.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Todd gave to his community and the citizens of Florida, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on August 19, 2004.

Todd, it has been almost 2 years since you were needlessly taken from us and your family. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of that horrible day. Hopefully someday we will get justice when your cowardly killer gets put to death.

To Todd's family hopefully someday you will get closure and answers to all your questions about that tragic day. Just know that Todd was an exceptional deputy and trusting friend who always made us smile. I had the pleasure of working with Todd when we were assigned to Tamarac, and I also had the honor of instructing him in various training classes over the years.

We will do our best every day to make sure a senseless tragedy like this never happens again to any of our family. Rest in peace my brother until we meet again.

Hey Todd, I never got to know you real well. But, the few times we hung out together with Dave, I knew you were good people. It's a shame you had to leave your family and friends so soon. Rest in peace brother. Everyone will meet again one day.

It's hard to believe that a year has already past. I just couldn't come to terms with reality then and it seems that I still can't. You are missed.

Todd, I cannot believe it has been over a year already. The pain I have felt has not subsided. Somehow I know you are ok...with that enormous smile you always wore.

I remember watching your mom waving out the front door of the house as I picked you up. She looked so happy and kind. I giggled and kept waving back to her. You returned a quick wave 'goodbye' to her and buckled your seatbelt. The next time I saw your mom was at your funeral. It hurt me to see the pain on her face. The pain on everyones face.

Your charm, wits, and most definitely your humor is what captivated all of us. I have learned a lot about you from reading postings from others and talking with your mom. It is no surprise to see you supported them through hard times, made the best of the good times and most of all made us all laugh. I even miss us picking on each other like two little schoolkids. You were a truly genuine person who cared about everyone. It was a blessing to have met you.

Mr. & Mrs. Fatta you have raised such an exceptional man. He has left his mark on so many people including myself. I have never met anyone like him.

An angel in disguise.

You left a mark on everyone you touched. I only met you a few times, but you were the kind of person that was a friend to everyone you met. You are missed every day by everyone who touched. God bless your sole and keep watch on your family.

Todd...Everyday I think of you. Everytime I go into my wallet and see your picture, I take a moment, I sigh, and a piece of me hurts. I feel it in my chest and I still get choked up. I can't believe its been just over 8 months since I've heard your voice. All who knew you know your voice is quite unmistakable.... I miss just being able to call and bug you or take the jeep and go hang out at the beach. I miss making fun of you and you , me.
If I had only known that fateful day would be your last, I would've prayed a million prayers to stop the dawn.
You were truly heaven sent and I miss you. You were the one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again.

I Love You Gimpy.

If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go, Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always, Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own, And in time when men decide and feel safe to call the streets insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind. We will see you in Elysium…

I will never forget August 19, 2004 as one of the worst days in the history of Broward County. One cannot measure the tremendous loss that this community, and the men and women in Law Enforcement, suffered that day. My only consolation is that I had the privelege to call Todd Fatta a friend of mine. We love and miss you, bro!

Todd it's been almost 3 months since you had passed. I think about you every single day. It is so hard to not be able to pick up the phone and hear your voice on the other end. Words cannot begin to explain how great of a person you were. You were my supporter, my friend, and my angel in disguise. To flipflops, ferriswheels, and your stentorious snoring haha, until we meet again...
