Reflections for Officer Daniel C. Martinez
So many lives destroyed because of one individual that did not care enough about how precious life is. Continue to keep watch over all of your loved ones and those still on patrol. Those that love you will keep your memory alive and you will never be forgotten by the Blue Family.

Danny I can't believe it has been two years since you have been gone. It feels just like yesterday we all miss you. I was thinking about some of the great times you had as a police officer and the one that is the funniest for me was when you and Colwell and were working and Blaylock was recording. You pulled over a drunk that was always getting in trouble and you turned on Gospel music he was screaming and cussing and you took him to the county jail and you came out the door singing bad boys bad boys watch you gonna do. That was you always catching the bad guys.Miss You Always

Danny, it's been nearly two years since that terribe night, but it only seems like yesterday. It only seems like yesterday I was at your tire shop talking about bass fishing with you, watching you diagnose my truck's problems. It only seems like yesterday we were Bowling talking about how glad we were to be off work. And it only seems like yesterday I had to face my worse fear and feel so helpless on that horrible night you were taken by the acts of a complete coward. I miss you Danny, and I never got to really tell you everything I wanted too. I've meant many times to post a message and have always been at a loss of words. Although I considered you a friend, you were also a role model to me to pattern my young LEO carrer after. Our friendship was only a year or so long but it felt like we knew one another for a lifetime. I want to thank you Danny for the example of courage you showed me and and the friendship you gave me. Every day I got to work I look at where your locker used to be and think about the conversations we had, sitting on the benches in the locker room. I miss and love you Danny, you or your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Danny,
Just checking in to make sure that you and Dustin haven't terrorized heaven's streets with your car racing and Dustin's serpentine cone driving. We are all still missing you greatly but I know that God had a higher purpose for you. I feel blessed to have gotten to know you even for just a little while. Doesn't seem possible that it has been over a year since you left us, but it has. I think of you often. Continue to keep watch over us and help us to do the best job possible in your honor. Bless you Danny.

I want to let your friends, co-workers and family that I rode in your honor in the 2008 Police Unity Tour. We ride our bicycles from Portsmouth, Va. to Washington D.C. in three days for a total of 250 miles. Because of bad weather we could not finish the last day. I did make it to the Law Enforcement Memorial and visited your name on the wall. I have a bracelet with your name that I wore during the ride. I wanted to give it to someone from your family but I was not able to locate anyone.
I want to make sure that your family gets the bracelet because it belongs to them.
I can send it in the mail if someone contacts me.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends.

Danny,
Its hard to imagine that you and Dustin are no longer with us. I enjoyed having the opportunity to work with you while at Bokoshe. I truly appreciate the guidance and friendship that you undauntingly gave to me. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to call you “friend and brother in law enforcement”. May God watch over your family. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Danny touched so many lives as he went about his days, and has so many friends that miss him. His love for children is the thing I remember most about him. He was always kind, and would go out of his way to help anyone in need. He had a true servants heart, that is what made him a great police officer.

Danny,
I think of you everyday, just as I do Dustin. I am sorry but I have not been able to bring myself to go back to the cemetary where you were laid. They showed you last week on the news when you and another officer had taken into custody a man whom had killed his girlfriend and kids. It brings up mixed emotions, happy to see your face and you doing the job that you always loved, and sadness to know that we will not see you on this earth. I hope that when you look down from your patrol on heaven's streets that you are proud of the job we are doing here on this earth. I am honored to have known you, and proud of the love you had for your family and friends. Please watch over Dustin and try not to let him practice his LEDT manuevers on Heaven's streets. If he does, the only thing I can tell you is, use your angel wings and get out of the way! I miss you and Dustin both everyday and you are always in my thoughts. I cry for the fact that you were taken so senselessly from us all, I don't understand. I do know, that was the kind of person you were. You always put others before you. I am truly honored to have known and loved you my friend. I have your picture in my office so everyone that comes in will know that you were my friend and that I will always honor your memory and sacrifice. I know that you and Dustin are always proud of us left here on earth to continue on, because as we say to our brothers and sisters in law enforcement, "We got your back!" God Speed my dear friend!
