Always love your Officer and your family members deeply, unconditionally, and, most importantly, as if it were their last day on Earth. Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Our thoughts and prayers go out to This Officer, as well as the Family, Friends, Department and Community.

This is a loss that will never be forgotten. Hours will turn into days, days turn into weeks, weeks into months and months into years but, the difference that these officers have made will last forever.

We lost Our Deputy Morris Taylor on September 14, 2002. When he joined the other Angels in Blue.

God Bless Our Law Enforcement Officers and Those Who Love Them.

I could go on for days thanking each and every one of you for the kind words, stories, poems, and well-wishes you have left for Officer Knapp, but you all already know that you have it. I could go on even longer telling you stories of the great, great man pictured on this beautiful page. You see, this fallen hero left behind friends, family, stories, memories, and a true legacy that will live on and on. But he also left behind two boys. This one will never live the same life again. I lost my best friend the same day I lost my father. All of you remember this. Don't argue with YOUR friends and family. Don't let small problems deprive you of life. You just never know when that life will change forever. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to EVERYONE who wrote or writes something here, and thank you twice to those who made this beautiful tribute site to him. I love you so much, buddy. Please keep an eye on me and the family as you walk the Lord's beat.
