Though I may have only worked with you once or twice, know what an honor it was to have such fine officers in our area. I wish I knew what to do to make sure your watch is takenn over properly. Rest in peace, and know you left the watch in capable hands, to the family I send my deepest apologies, but I also want to thank them, for creating a man willing to die protecting life. You made a true officer. For that I thank you. You will be Missed But you patrol the streets of heaven now. Well see you again at our watches end.

The Legacy of a Fallen Officer
When you left this world without us,
It made your brothers all feel blue
With pride running through our veins,
We Salute and Honor you.
It broke our hearts to lose you;
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
The city stood together weeping
The days after you passed away.
Today, as we gather in your memory,
We all take a knee and pray.
For I know the soft warm breeze,
Your breath from Heaven sent,
You whisper: An oath you have sworn,
A city you must protect.
And though you have answered your final call
You urge us, please, go on.
But that is hard to do at times
For we know that you gave all.
Now we all must say Goodbye
With sadness and regret.
But know that you have touched our hearts
So deeply that, NEVER, will we forget!
Little did we know that day
That God would call your name.
Our Thin Blue Line is broken
And nothing is the same.
But you left us many memories,
And your strength will be our guide.
Although we may not see you,
You are forever, by our side.
And as we gather here to pay our last respects
We stand here side by side.
As I look around I see your Legacy
Are those you left behind.
Rest in peace my brother.
