Kevin, during our time together at the beach we made many trips together, to the court house for warrants, on the water for a dive, a journey to south Florida to help hurricane victims or just a short ride to get something to eat. That night in March I made the best and worst trip with you a brother could have made. Forever know you have changed my life in many positive ways. But this is the type of man you are. You will never be forgotten , and we will always be proud that you are our brother in blue.

Kevin, Time is passing and we are moving forward. You would want us to keep our heads up and our shoulders back. Christina and Brandon are being taken care of, but it's still not the same.

At our last explorer post meeting, Tuesday, May 10, 2005, we viewed a power point remeber Sgt. Kevin Kight. We learned what the "blue" family really is all about, and i cannot wait to become a part of it... much love... and God Bless Sgt. Kight's Son, I am the daughter of an officer myself, and know the fear that daddy may never come home one day. Stay strong Little Buddy! Daddy's watching over you!

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand."

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

I was home to visit and enjoy Panama City Beach and my friends when the news of Kevin's death was given to me by my family. I worked with Kevin for a year, and in that short time I was able to see in him a love for our profession. Moreover, I noticed that he was genuinely proud of what he was doing, as he loved being in Panama City Beach, and he loved working for the Beach P.D.
I am glad that I was home when he was taken from us. I am proud of the response and the outpouring from the community and it's support of the Panama City Beach Police Department.
A special "Thank You" to the men and women of the Panama City Beach Police Department for welcoming me, even though I've not worked for the Department for five years.
You are all very special to me, and I will always consider you a part of my extended family!!
May God Bless and Keep You All!!

Kevin was my training officer when I first came to german township. His sense of humor was hard to beat. He always called me "pappy" because I was twelve years older than him. When he stopped at my house to visit he and my wife always joked around and she always got the last word and it drove him crazy. He really impressed me as a person who was dedicated to his work so much that it was a passion for him. He had an answer to any question you could ask him about the law. I will really miss him. He was the officer I wanted to be and still strive to be. Kevin had respect from everyone he worked with and it was deserved.What I learned from Kevin I still use and apply everyday. Kevin always said he was available 24/7 to all of us and I tell all of our officers the same thing. I would like to believe Kevin is still there for all of us 24/7 because he will always be in our thoughts and prayers 24/7. My deepest sympathy to Christina and Kevins son. You are in our thoughts and prayers always.
