One of the most humble people I have ever known. The father, the husband that is beyond compare. I sit and have a bad day and I realize "how selfish" it is not as bad as the day Kevin had. Words are never enough to express this loss. Kevin is in heaven and there is no doubt of that. You will be missed forever and you will always be loved to no end......

I remember Kevin as a rookie, new to the SCSO. He was one of those guys who was always smiling--always had a good sense of humor about our often thankless and stressful job. He always stood ready and willing to lend a helping hand to us grungy old crime scene investigators when he was needed. Officers like Kevin are a rare breed. I was dismayed and saddened to hear of your untimely demise in the line of duty. You were a soldier and a gentleman in the most honorable of professions. My family's prayer's go out to your family. The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office has lost an capable and venerable Officer. Godspeed my friend--you will be missed.

To the family of Officer Kevin Carper, there are no words to say that will easy the pain of missing him. But remember one thing Kevin was doing what he wanted to do. Who ever knew him. knew that he wanted to be a police officer and wanted to make a difference in this world or just his community. So don't ask why this happened to him it's the risk that like him all of us take because we want to. God bless your family

For those of you who do not know Kevin he is one of the best. Each day I still can not believe that this is real and that this actually happened to some one as wonderful as Kevin.So I can not imagine how Andrea and his daughters feel not having him with him. I worked with Kevin as a warrant officer and we had in service together each year . Those who never got a chance to meet Kevin, you really missed out on a chance to meet a guy who really was awesome.He was a genuine nice guy who was literally always smiling. That is the thing I will always remember is him smiling with his hands in his pocket and rocking back and forth. Kevin I know you are still smiling as you look down on us each day as we go about our day.

I have just found out, I am devastated. I knew Kevin when he was an aircraft plane captain on T-2's. I worked with Kevin for approximately 7 years, in Pensacola, FL, before we both left Acft Maintanance and went into the Law Enforcement career field. I have many fond memories and consider Kevin, aka "chopper" a nickname he picked up in Meridian MS, one of the most outstanding people I have ever worked with. Kevin we will miss you and I hope to one day see you again on the other side. My heart goes out to his family and friends. You will always be remembered.

Our city also lost a hero like Deputy Carper. My deepest sympathy to the family, friends and co-workers of Deputy Carper. You are in our thoughts and prayers!



To Our Brave Police Officer

To wear the uniform and badge with courage,
they study hard to pass the test.
An oath of honor to protect,
separates them from all the rest.

Standing tall with a uniform pressed,
serves a warning to all the wrong.
They keep our home and family safe,
and help to make our neighborhood strong.

They risk their lives day and night,
to protect our children on their beat.
We ask you, Lord, to keep them safe,
the brave police officer on the street.

Thank you for a job well done!

My heart breaks for Deputy Carper's family, friends & co-workers. I pray the Lord will wrap his loving arms around each of you and carry you as you begin the difficult steps ahead of you. I know all too well that the steps are not easy and you will need to lean on each other at times. God bless you & Deputy Carper.

I attended your funeral. I was in awe of the respect that all the citizens of Spartanburg County showed as the procession made its way from the church to the cemetary. I have attended other law enforcement officer's funerals and have never seen such an outpouring of respect for a fallen officer. It made me honored to be part of the thin blue line. God be with you and your family. You will never be forgotten.

This is a poem I wrote for my uncle "officer Briggs" who was also killed in the line of duty.

eighty three is a special number
very special indeed
a number who's power
had great skill to lead

this number has great power
a power oh so strong
a love for all officers
a power never used for wrong

the man who held this power
a man so precious to me
he used it for everything good
a power that will no longer be

he had so many lives
in a fire that went a blaze
a tru hero I say
he was really brave

he risked his life everyday
something I wouldn't do
and when he fell down
he always pulled through

*best wishes to his family*
*rest in peace*
