As you EOW approaches I think of you and your act of heroism. With all the bad press lately with police bashing, I want to slap the idiots making such comments, esp. after your bravery. Please continue to watch over me, Bryan. Gone, but NEVER forgotten.

Thought of you recently, as so many senseless and cowardly murders of officers have been reported lately. Please know, Bryan, that many of us who knew you through your protecting and serving us at the bank years ago still hold you in our hearts and know you as a hero. Blue Lives Matter.

Hard to believe it's been 10 years. Seems like yesterday we were laughing and talking and then suddenly your life was taken way to soon. You saved 8 lives that tragic day and paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Thank you, Bryan, for your service.
Keep us safe from up above.

It’s difficult to grasp that it has been ten years since Officer Bryan Hurst laid down his life for many of us this horrible day. We all have been able to go on with our lives in many ways; new careers, new families and additions to the families, and for me moving to a new state. Not a moment goes by that I don’t remember what he did for us that day - what each of the Officers do for us every day.

I may not be in Ohio to hold the hand of those who where there that day, to shed the tears along side of you and to verbally share in the memories of what Bryan did and continues to do for us but please know that while I may not be able to stand next to you I am shedding those tears, I am hugging you, I am remembering and I am loving all of you! Everyone that was a part of that day, whether it be because you where there or because you were a “brother or sister”, family or friend of Bryan, I am sharing in the memories.

Each and every day I am reminded of those who stand up to protect and serve in all areas of service. They are there to make sure that we can safely go home to our families and friends. I continue to pray that each and every one of them can do the same.

Think of you often, Bryan. Especially reminded of you last night when an Akron, Ohio officer was shot defending patrons at a bar. Please know your bravery and life is cherished by many. You would be so proud of Malia....such a bright, creative, and loving little girl. Gone, but never ever forgotten.

I worked the streets a few weeks ago on 3rd shift and pulled onto the lot of the bank (now tire shop).. I ran thru my mind as I have numerous times how courages and heroic your actions were that morning.. God Bless you and everyone that is thinking about you today... Keep watch over all of us..#2057 forever....

My heart goes out to you as, eight years later, the legal system is still dealing with your loved one's murder. Bryan was very brave that day. We owe so much to professionals like him - every day. What a sweet photo of him with his/your daughter! I'm sure she knows her dad through your loving memories. My sincerest compassion goes out to you.
