As the years has passed my brother you have still inspired me in so many ways to live my life to the fullest with you in my thoughts. You would be so proud of your children as am I. The girls are so beautiful and they both are wonderful strong young ladies. The boys are spitting images of you in there own way, very athletic and outstanding individuals. So keep us in your arms and help us on this journey in life. I know you are our guarding angel. I love you brother until we meet again.

I' not sure if you remember me but, I attended a Army NCO class with you in 2001 at Camp Shelby, Ms. Although it was only a 2 week course, you really made a lasting impact with me. You had a way of sensing when the class was feeling a little stressed and you would do or say something funny that would make everyone laugh and smile. It was that and other attributes that made you special and unforgettable. We didnt keep in touch but I have never forgotten you. I was quite shocked to learn that you are no longer here physically. I Have read all of the many posts left by families and friends and it's obvious you touched many lives. Continue to watch over your family. You haver forever touched and enriched our lives.

You are always going to be missed. Not for what you could have been; but for what YOU have become. Be coming a Spirit of strenth. Your valor gave proof to that. True Troopers are always - a reminder- of your spirit. And that'z - what you are a TRUE TROOPER. You were ALMIGHTY'S, mind and the world .
Wanting you never - stop'z.

My boy I can still hear you telling me to reel it in as I hooked a 8lb bass. Those days I will cherish forever, brother I don't think I will ever get over losing you. Life has been truly a struggle for me since you been gone but I keep holding on to the last thing you spoke to me about and that life is what you make it, either you are an asset or a liability. And you said to me "Ward you have to much to give to an liability and to much to live for not to be an asset. Needless to say whenever I feel despair I can reflect back on those words of encouragement from you and make a change in someone's life weather it be mines or my kids! These 7 years have been lonely without you my friend but you would be very proud of your children they are just like you in so many ways. I love you never a day that goes by I don't miss you!

I still can't believe you are not in York riding and smiling. I look back on the time we stood in front of the store in York and talked for an hour. I was on my way to North Carolina. You gave me some advice that I still live by. Thank you Officer Dion Nelson. You are gone but not forgotten. Fair Winds and following Seas my brother until we meet again.
