Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Our Dearest Scrappy, You are a remarkable,and impressive young man. You were always motivated and filled with enthusiam. It has been a priveledge as well as an honor to work and serve under your command as well as with you. Your determination and your drive are relentless. You have made such a positive impact not only in me but also in our department. You`ve shown us through hard work dilligence, determination,and yes even patience that we should all reach for the sky. You were always professional,knowledgeable, and an explementary officer and such a gentlemen. I would like to commend you on all your hard work and success. You truly had a vision and you made it a reality. You were bigger than life itself. You are a legend in your own right. I remember being nervous for an upcoming interview. You took time out of your busy day to offer me some kind words. You said "don`t worry you`ll get the job if anyone is deserving of it I think it`s you." After getting the job you and I talked again and you congratulated me on the new position.It really meant so much to me coming from a man that I admired the most. Thank you so much Scrappy for making me feel special with your many words of wisdom, and for uplifting my confidence in myself. I`m sorry that I never had an opportunity to tell you that you were my hero. You have always been an inspiration as well as a mentor. You are such a class Act, and your shoes are some pretty big shoes to fill. There will never be another.
God Bless you our loving Brother in Blue.

Jesus said that in my father`s house there are many mansions I will go and prepare a place for you and I will come again. Mike I know that you are in God`s house now and that you are just fine. May God keep you in his loving arms. I pray that God gives your family the inner strength to help them through this difficult time.

To my Fellow Brothers and Sister`s
If we do the following things we will have strength to be strong in hard moments.

Never make a promise we will not keep.
Make meaningful promises,resolutions,and commitments to do better and share this with a love one.

Use self knowledge and be very selective about the promises we make.
Consider promises as a measure of our integrity and faith in ourselves.
Remember that our personal integrity or self mastery is the basis for our success with others.

Mike

I never met you, but have seen you while I was on duty driving in our city. I have heard a lot about you from friends of mine from the department, and sounds like you were a great person and police officer. You have walked the streets in hell, and now you walk the streets in heaven. God Bless your family, and keep an eye on your brothers and sisters in Law Enforcement from above.

Sergeant Scarbroughs service is an example to us all. I'm sorry he lost his life in the service of his community. May he Rest In Peace until the time of the resurrection of the dead. Romans 13:4 NIV

Our sympathies to the Scarbrough Family and the Wayne County Airport Authority Police Dept. We know what you feel because we lost a Warrant Officer on 3-19-04, killed in the line of duty while serving a warrant. When someone this young is taken away from us at such an early age I think of Dorothea Barwick's poem "God's Heavenly Garden":

Sometimes God picks the flower
That is still in full bloom;
Sometime, the rosebud's chosen
That we feel He's picked too soon.
Sometimes, the flower is fading
With petals floating down,
But God knows the perfect time
To gather flowers from the ground.
There is a heavenly garden
In which God takes great pleasure
Because He's placed within it
The loved ones that we treasure.
He walks among the blossoms
Giving them eternal rest,
And I know that it must please Him
Because he chose our very best.

Rest in Peace, Officer in Blue.

The tragedy that took place on Feb 09, 2005 will forever be in the hearts and minds of all Law Enforcement Officers. Sergeant Michael Scarbrough was a hero before this incident occurred and will be a hero long after we are gone. Believe that in the face of danger, he will be standing with us all. I believe that anyone who puts on a green, blue, brown or any other color uniform to Enforce Law and Order, is a Hero in life and in death. This incident has made the botherhood even stronger throughout. Rest In Peace Brother!

MAY GOD KEEP AND BLESS THE SCARBROUGH FAMILY DURING THIS TIME.

Although I had not known Mike for very long, in the short time I did know him and the few talks we had while watching our kids at school functions I found him to be a very personable individual and a caring father and husband.If the Lord had not taken him so soon I feel we would have become close friends as Mike possessed a love of his job and family I have not seen in others in a very long time.
Rest peacefully Mike, we got your back.
