Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

A POLICEMAN'S PRAYER
BROTHER WHEN YOU WEEP FOR ME REMEMBER THAT IT WAS MEANT TO BE.
LAY ME DOWN AND WHEN YOU LEAVE REMEMBER I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE...IN EVERY DARK AND DREARY ALLEY I'LL BE THERE AS YOU SLOWLY TREAD, ON EVERY STREET CORNER IN THE DRIVING SNOW I'LL HOLD YOUR COAT AND YOU WILL KNOW.
IN PLACES WHERE THE DEVIL IS AFRAID TO WALK...
AT DOORS WHERE YOU MEET RESISTANCE...
IN HOUSES WHERE CHILDREN HIDE...
YOU KNOW I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE.
THE PLACE FROM WHICH I NOW RESPOND IS OVERSTAFFED WITH HEROES GONE...MEN WHO ANSWERED ONE LAST JOB AND DID IT WELL.
AS POLICEMEN WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A CARD DEALT IN OUR HAND...A CARD WE HOPE WE NEVER PLAY BUT WE HOLD IT THERE ANYWAY.
THE CARD IS SOMETHING WE IGNORE AS WE STAND ON THAT THIN BLUE LINE EVERY TOUR...FOR WE KNOW THAT WE ARE THE ONLY PRAYER FOR MANY OUT THERE.
SO REMEMBER, AS YOU WIPE YOUR TEARS, THE JOY I HAVE KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE YEARS...AS THE JOB I LOVED TO DO I PRAY THAT THIS THOUGHT WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.

Kevin - rest in peace brother. Although I am half a world away serving in Iraq as a police officer, my heart still bears the sorrow of loosing yet another fine Arizona officer in the line of duty. Go with God as you patrol the streets of heaven and look down upon us. We shall never forget your dedication to duty and service to Tempe and the great state of Arizona, thank you.

Some words for a fallen brother...

"Nine planets surround the sun
Only one does the sun embrace
Upon this watered one
So much that we take for granted

So let him sleep outside tonight
Lay down in his mother's arms
For here he can rest safely

If green should turn to grey
Would our hearts still bloody beat
If a mountain tumbled away, the rivers dried
Would it stop the stepping feet

Whoa, let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in our mother's arms
For here we can rest safely

Take all that we can get
When it's done
Nobody left to bury here
Nobody left to dig the holes
And here he can rest safely

One sweet world
Around this star is spinning
One sweet world
And in her breath I'm swimming
And here he will rest in peace..."

Rest easy brother, we'll take it from here.

My humble condolences to the family of Kevin and to the Tempe Police Department. No words can ease the pain of the loss of a loved one but take heart in the fact that Kevin served with honor and a resolute dedication to duty. I remember him as a recruit at ALEA and a few passing conversations years later. It is because of people like Kevin that we sleep safer in our beds at night. I am proud of his service and sacrifice and mourn his passing with you.

My God's peace be with you...

Yours truly,

Dean S. Nyhart, Commander

Officer Weeks,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Respectfully,
