Step~

Too many times I have come here to leave a few words, only to have the tears flood my eyes and fall on the keyboard. I miss you with a pain that tears through my heart like a knife. I want so much to understand WHY this had to happen. I questioned God for a long time bro. But, you came to me in a dream about 6 weeks ago. And now, I know that you are ok. I love you.

I miss you. I will never forget you. And I wear your call sign on my sleeve everyday here in the dessert. You keep me warm on these 23 degree nights. I'm sorry it took me so long to talk to you here. I am just lost bro.

Step -
You've been on my mind a lot today. Just got back from a detail to DC and stopped by the wall while I was there. Still doesn't seem real that you're gone. You've always been an inspiration to me, buddy. The lessons you taught me while I was at DKPD are with me still.

As I am thinking about you today I remembered a funny story from when you worked a courtesy officer job up off Shallowford Rd. in North Pct. Just coming on shift for evening watch; Redding and I were early outs. As we made our way toward Buford hwy the radio beeped and the dispatch came out with your location and that "Badge 1700 has a 63! Repeat, 63! Officer needs help". We hauled ass knowing it must really be hitting the fan for you to call that out. As we slid into the parking lot of the complex and jumped out, we were expecting a gunfight like something out of a John Woo movie. Instead, there you were standing there in a t-shirt and shorts with some clown in handcuffs sitting on the curb. You said to me "What's up with you guys?" I told you about the 63. You laughed and said that the apt manager had called for you to say you needed some help with transport of the burglary suspect. All they heard was Officer Needs Help! I promptly 10-25'd and drove your guy down to Memorial drive. I still laugh about that one.

Miss you, bro.

Hey Bro,

My wife was in DC and called me to find out what panel you're name is on at the Police Officer's Memorial. We think and talk about you all the time and her call got me wanting to just say hello. I miss your crazy a**..but you already know that. You'll be happy to know your stories still keep us laughing

Step - Brian has received an offer from the Tuscaloosa PD. He starts there Oct. 26th and will go to the Academy in January. I know his goal is to pursue his career and service to the community as you did. He will make you proud.

Step - A day does not go by that Nancy and I don't think about you. We keep your pictures and flag displayed on a table in our foyer at home. We get to say good morning and good night each day. Not long ago, we had a service call on our cable service. The repairman came in the front door and stopped cold. He looked at your picture and said he had been one of your training officers in years past.

I can't believe it's been three years since we lost you. To this day I can't believe it. People still talk about you all of the time. Even the new officers who never met you are going to be able to pass on the stories of your heroics to the next generation of officers.
