Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

It was meant for me to stay at work to see you face to face , because the next time would in January on the news, after a phone call from my mother yelling.! And yes my mother and aunt are still smoking their Newports! Continue to rest.

Troy,

I know that it has been a while since I last wrote. I often look on this site just to look at reflections of others. It reminds me just how much you are missed by not just me, but many others.

It seems that when someone dies, life just goes on and people move onto the next thing. and forget about the deceased, but that isn't the case with you. Your presence is truly missed and it's so unfair that you were taken.

I think of you often, I remember your smile, your jokes (sometimes corny) Lol!, and how you could light up a room. I still miss our talks and I just the genuine friendship that we had. A lot has changed. I've remarried and and I have two married children. Amazing, right?? My youngest is in college and I'm somewhat looking forward to being an empty nester I guess.

I would be sitting here for hours telling you all the things that have changed in my life since I last left a reflection, but just know that I'm happy. I know that you would be happy for me too. I'm going to stop here because I can feel the sadness coming and I know that's not what you would want. I just want you to know that I miss you and that you will forever hold a place in my heart. Keep resting my friend.

Hey Troy, Just wanted you to know that you will always be in my prayers. We were both assigned to the Public Housing Section and I remember the day the Lord welcomed you home in Heaven. That morning that you was untimely taken from us, I had just risen from sleeping to get ready for the 10-6 shift. I heard the news report that a BPD Officer had gotten shot. I got myself ready and hurried in to do what needed to be done for one of our own. Well Brother when I found out that it was you I cried. You was a beacon in the unit because you were the coolest.
I never saw you any other way when we spoke, executed search warrants or walked past each other at 312 MLK Boulevard, our station house. When we worked as a unit we always came to work safe and we went home safe. When we lost you,things in the unit changed, but the one thing that did not change was the love and admiration BPDHS had for you. It was a real honor to have served with you because you kept it over a hundred. I have since retired and whenever I see a BPD Officer or vehicle, I think of all the good you and others including myself have done for our profession. You have left your mark and your legacy will always live on.

I know you're sleeping, but can I talk to you for a sec? I said I was coming up there to see you and Unc but I haven't made it. Apologies. I can't believe so much time has passed. I haven't forgotten, I have to get my prayers up. I let life beat me down for a sec, but no more. One day we look up and everything is unfamiliar, people, places, ourselves. Only the hurt remains, the memories that burn. I want to just forget sometimes, but the memories are woven into my existence!! Surely I would forget myself if I forget the laughter and love. I haven't talked to your brother in a while, I miss him dearly. Your infectious soul and laughter lives on, comfort the ones who will never recover from losing you, may they hear the laughter and wrap up in the glorious memories when life becomes too much to bear. You, my friend are truly extraordinary!

Troy!!! I'm sitting here thinking about you and wishing that I could really talk to you right now. I miss you terribly!! I love you and I still don't understand why you. I often talk to God but I guess it's just not for me to understand.

Heeeey!! It's been a minute right, I know. So a lot has been going down with your brothers, crazy right?? Smh. This world is so different now. Makes me wonder how different things would be had ONE thing went another way. Who am I to question The Lord right? Well, there's no need to explain why am here. My thoughts and feelings go right to you. I can't protect him from so far away so I need you to talk to him for me, stay close by. Troy I'm telling you, if you let anything happen to him!!!! Lol...During the riots I was on BCPD's side, people thought I was crazy. I don't know what's happening to the city brother but we need some angels down here. So I'll be back soon to clean up the city, toss me some of that courage you possess, help keep me focused on the bigger picture. I do this for you, and him. You live through him, and the rest of the brothers. He seemed a little happier the other day. This is gonna be a hard time of year for those still trying to accept your absence. Show them your smile one more time. I'll come see you and Unc before I leave. Keep your family strong, I know they're so heavy right now.

Hey Troy,

As I sit here and reflect on the times we shared, there's a sense of sadness that comes over me. You are heavily on my mind today and I don't know why. You were such a wonderful friend and meant so much to many people. Again, I don't question God but it seems the good ones are always taken away way too soon.

So I hear that you are a grandfather! That is such a blessing! I know that you would be so proud too. I know just how very much you loved your family and my heart aches more when I think about the void that was left when you were so brutally taken away.

So preseason is starting in the NFL and guess who the Ravens are playing? Yup, your team! Lol. I know it's just preseason but I must admit that I'm torn when it comes to cheering for any one because you know that San Fran was our team when Baltimore didn't have one! Anyway, I just wanted you I know that I was thinking about you and that you will NEVER be forgotten! Love you ALWAYS!!!

Hi Troy....Let me start off by apologizing for not writing in so very long! But please know that it's not because I don't think about you. I miss you so very very much and some days it seems harder than others! You would think that after seven years, it would get easier. Some days I am so very angry that you were taken away from your family and friends, and then other days I try to understand that God has a purpose in everything that he does. I saw your mother on the corner at the bus stop one day, but didn't realize it until I had passed, but once I circled the block she was no longer there. I was coming back to pick her up to take her where ever it was she needed to go, but I'm sure she wasn't going to remember me. But I know that you would have NEVER allowed her to be on a bus stop so I wanted to to help her. You loved her so much and that was no secret to anyone that knew you! I was wishing that she was still there just so I could let her know how much you meant to me, but maybe another opportunity will present itself. Anyway, your team made it into the playoffs and was just ONE game away from the superbowl!!! I was soooo mad that they didn't make it. Especially since the Ravens were out of it? lol! I was hoping that they could make it just for you! Maybe next year, but they've been doing very well! I know that I said I would leave a note more often the last time, and I'm sorry that I haven't, but again, please know that it's not a reflection of how I feel about you. I love and miss you more than you will ever know. Until we meet again!!!

Another year approaches with out you. But I seem to make it through.My brother you are truly missed. I can honestly say we had a wonderful childhood and a great adulthood. Still there is no one that will ever take your place. As I come to the New Year I can only never forget the last time we were together. It was January 1, 2007 early in the a.m. And we watched the whole School House Rock DVD. Singing and dancing to our favorite songs. Til this day I do just that every New Years with my brother. I know that your still here with me and at times I hold a very good conversation with you . Even though you might not answer back I know that your listening. I Love you and Miss you my Brother, rest easy, rest easy.

Troy,
As I approach my 20 year anniversary with the BPD I can remember us always laughing and joking around in the Academy and later as we ran into each other on the street. Each and every time we ran into one another we always talked and had great conversation. Your smile is so priceless.. You always knew how to make everyone laugh. Several days before you were taken from us, we met at HQ. I made you a promise to get back into top shape, well almost there buddy. Road a bicycle from Philly to DC in the Police Unity Tour this year in your memory. I will continue to ride every year for you. Troy, your a great friend / co-worker.. Each and every member of our class (93-5) will never forget Troy Lamont Chesley Sr. LVF (F189)
