To the family and friends of Trooper Kevin Floyd and his fellow officers in the Missouri Highway Patrol:

On behalf of our entire family, we wish to pay honor to Kevin's memory on the third anniversary of the day Kevin so tragically lost his life. His heroism, valor and bravery will be forever remembered.

May you be continue to be comforted by the support and caring of your law enforcement family and other police survivors. We grieve for you and with you. Our family lost our beloved Larry Lasater when he was fatally shot in April of 2005 during a foot pursuit of two bank robbers, so we know the anquish you are still experiencing.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the years of service Toooper Floyd gave to his community and the citizens of Missouri, and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 22, 2005.

Hey pop! I've missed you even more here lately. I moved to school and I worry about mom every day. I guess there are many reasons why I am missing you more... Addison is finally here! She'll never know her wonderful grandpa... but I believe in my heart that she can see you when you are around us; because she is still so pure. She's beautiful, the perfect gift. I think she is the only thing that has been able to make mom truely happy since you left. But everything is so bitter sweet. There's a guy in my life now that I need your approval of, that I'll never get. The only thing I can go by is what all of your closest friends say...well and my brother i suppose. I would think you would like him...he's just like you! And he's the one... who would have thought that i'd end up with someone just like you =) I love you pop! miss you every day!

I think of you each and everyday. Needless to say as Christmas and New Years just passed to me it was just another day. I watch everyone walk through life like they have no cares in the world, and I still feel like my world has come to stop since that awful day. You will always be the love of my life, I will never be the same person I used to be thank you for having me as your wife. I guess this is the way my life will be feeling like half of me is gone, I never dreamed we would be apart so soon. People say I can't believe how you are handling things, how I am so strong, what they don't know is it is just an act, you learn when you are out in public you put on a front, and when you get back to our house we shared the real feelings come out. You will always be in my heart and I know you are still watching over us each and every day.

Love you,

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

For many years this officer stood the watch... While some of us lay about at night, this officer stood the watch...
While others of us were attending schools and, yes, even before some of us were born, this officer stood the watch...As our families watched the storm clouds of war
brewing on the horizons of history, he stood the watch...
Often he would look around and see his family needed his guidance, but he knew he must stay because,he had the watch...For many years he stood the watch so that we
and our fellow citizens could sleep soundly in safety knowing that this officer would stand the watch.

Today we are here to say...
"The watch stands relieved..."
Relieved by those you have led, guided, and trained...


Friend
"You stand relieved...
We have the watch."

Its been two years since you left us. I know you are in a better place than us. I think of you a lot and when I see your picture I still get tears. You were a very close and dear friend of mine. We shared some good times together while we protected the Citizens of Wright County. I still talk about some of the calls me and you would get into. I was having some troubles in my life years ago and you came and got me and we went to a fish fry. You had me roling on the ground after you worked your charm on me just like you did some many people you incountered. You had that gift to do that. Well my friend keep looking down at us and someday we will meet again.

I read Mrs. Floyd's entry into the memorial page of Deputy McCarmack from Greene County. I am sure this brings up so many painful memories. I pray God gives Trooper Floyd's family peace and comfort. Trooper Floyd, you are a hero. Thank you from a thankful Missouri citizen. Mrs. Floyd, know that others are thinking of and praying for you.

In the simple performance of duty,
he pinned on a badge,
checked his gear with a practiced eye,
and kissed his loved ones good-bye.
In the simple performance of duty,
he reported for work,
joked with his buddies at roll call,
and made his last trip down the squad room hall.
In the simple performance of duty,
he answered the call
to help the helpless, to find the lost,
no matter the danger or how great the cost.
In the simple performance of duty,
he lay down his life,
for those in peril he tried to save,
our brave friend went to his grave.
In the simple performance of duty,
we honor his deed,
as we carry him to rest in a flag-draped casket,
long after the world has forgotten, we shall never forget.
Never judge or regret, what he did, In the simple performance of duty."

I love you Babe

Sept. 21, 2007 Two years ago today was just a normal day I didn't know that this would be the last day we would be together or the last night you would sleep beside me. If I would have known the next morning would be the last time I would tell you to be careful, kiss you bye and tell you I loved you I would have hugged you longer and kissed you more. You have always been the love of my life. Everyday my heart aches for you, but I know you are always watching over us. I long to hold you, to feel your touch. I know one day I will see you again and feel your touch and get to hold you. I Love you Babe.

Kevin August 15th we were married (even though you are not here I still count the years) for 26 years, you are still all I think about. I miss you so very much. You are and always will be the love of my life. I took you your diet coke and a new wreath and told you how much I loved and missed you. I still don't understand why and how this could have happened. There is never a day goes by that you are not in my mind. the last thing I say at night before I go to sleep is "I LOVE YOU KEVIN" Keep a watch over your grandchild which is due March 12, you got the first one maybe you can talk to your connections up there and let us have this one. I love you and miss you more everyday. You would have made such a great Grandpa. I have saved everything to show our grandchildren so they will know who you are, I will make sure of that. You will alway be loved and never forgotten. I miss you so very much you will always have my heart and soul. I Love you BABE XOXO

I would like to take this time to remember all of your family, as I know it is a very hard time for them. The one year anniversary, and your birthday all within days has to be very difficult. With the help of family and all the new friends that they made, they will somehow have the strength to go on. Our families have met because of you and my sons death. I know they will find comfort somewhere in each others strengths. Please know that you will never be forgotten by any of us. Sincerely, Mary Ann Tatoian, Mother of M.S.H.P Trooper Ralph C.

I was deeply saddened to hear that Kevin was the 4th Tropper to die in the line of duty in Missouri this year.
Maybe your state should be pronounced Mi Se Ry.
I send my condolences. We in the 49 other states share in your pain. Thank you, Kevin, for your service
and sacrifice.
