Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Tomorrow is July 4th, one of our mutual favorite holidays. I wish you were here so bad. I know that we would go get some fireworks and get everyone together and shoot them off. I miss you so much Kevin! Happy 4th of July. You and many like you made our world a better place. I love you!

Kevin,

I was glad to have known you. You were my zone partner and you helped me to learn the area. You were always there as a backup no matter what the call was. It's hard to grasp that you have been gone physically from all of us who admired and respected you. Though I can't see you, you are always in my heart and my thoughts. I would like to thank you for always being there and for the law enforcement officer that you were. Rest in peace my brother and I hope to see you again one day.

Kevin,

I've been thinking of you a lot lately. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you. It is coming up on 4 years that you have been gone. I still can't believe it. For so many selfish reasons, I wish you were here. I miss our times together and the many things that you taught me. I wish we could have one more day with you. You would be so happy to see your daughters growing up and to know how beautiful they have become. I will never forget you and look forward to the day that we meet again. We will play the best course and nothing will be in your eye! I love you brother!

I sing karoake a lot and was thinking the other day of how I got started. You guessed it, Keven had dared me to sing while we were in Key West. I told him I would sing with him and he signed us up. When they called our names he had dissappeared. It was fun even though I sang by myself. He teased me along with the rest of the group that was there for aircraft support. Funny how something so unrelated can relate. Anyway, thinking about you brother. You will never be forgotten.

Kevin,

I had to make two weeks worth of daily trips to and from York County this month, which took me through the whole of Spartanburg County on I-85. Every day, I saw your bridge and memorial marker, and every day, I'd remember another story out of our vibrant history. I thought of all of the Saturdays we used to sneak down to Mutts in Greer for lunch (pre-Mutts in Spartanburg days), always worried that we'd get in trouble one day. I remembered collecting pieces of your equipment and uniform after one particularly hilarious foot chase. I remembered how you were resting your eyes on one of our hauls to Cross Anchor, and how you jumped awake, as you thought we were "flying through the air" because I'd flown off the road (in reality, we drove onto a bridge, which caused the car to bounce). During one car chase, I remembered you driving us across the airport runway, while I was trying to watch for any landing airplanes. I remembered how you would constantly "forget" to fuel up your car, and how we would turn off the A/C to try and make it to the county pumps. I remembered how I referred to your street name as "Burnt House Road" (that's not even close), and you said "Who the hell would live on a road named like that?" I then thought about how I missed you at my wedding last year, and how I'll never get to introduce you to my daughter, who was fittingly born on February 27th of this year. I remember sitting in the hospital with my wife after a long night of labor, and suddenly realizing what day it was and how, in my heart and mind, her birth meant that much more to me. Of course, I would've rather had you here on Earth to come meet my baby.

I miss you, my great friend, but I know I'll never forget you or our time together.

Kevin,

I still miss you so much. I played golf the other day for the first time since you were taken from us. I had an ok time, but it sure was not like playing with you. I still can see you standing there talking to me. I wish that you were here Kevin. Andrea is doing better, but still has some bad days. The girls are growing up and becoming such beautiful young women. Not one day goes by that I do not think of you. I love you and will see you again.

I was assigned Deputy Sheriff Carper in my Police Administration class. I expected that I would write my assignment and turn it in.
I didn't expect to cry as I read about how he died. I didn't expect to feel for his wife and children. I didn't expect for it to be anything more than an assignment but it is.
I don't know how any officer does what he/she does day after day knowing what he/she knows. So I commend you, all of you for putting on your game face and putting your time in. I am most sure we as civilians don't say it enough but here it is from my heart to your eyes/ears....THANK YOU. You guys/gals are the bestest!!!!! (I know that is not a word but it's how I feel.)

My thoughts and prayers are with your loved ones, friends and fellow officers during this time of rememberance. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol watching over the Thin Blue Line. You will never be forgotten.

On the 2nd anniversary of Deputy Carper's death, we honored his service in our patrol briefing by reading his entry from ODMP. Each day, we honor one fallen officer on the anniversary of their death so as to keep them in our thoughts, and also to remind us of the dangers inherent in our job. Deputy Carper is not forgotten.
