To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 72nd anniversary year of your death. I am privileged to leave a tribute to you. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service.

My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.

This was my great uncle whom I never had the pleasure of meeting. Even my own father never knew him, but no one can deny the strong family resemblance! Loma Laine, may you be rejoicing in heaven with all the saints who have gone before you. And may your life's story be forever remembered and retold.

Captain Loma Laine Dyess was my father, and although he died when I was less than one year old, his memory has loomed large in my life.

It was a beautiful, breezy, sunny Mississippi morning the day we memorialized you this May of 2007, some 65 years after your untimely death. When I first spotted your son on the morning of the memorial, there was no mistake who he was - he looks so much like you. You'd be proud of him and his children. It was evident from talking with your son that he carried on your strong committment to service, public safety, and family. I'm glad to have learned more about you through your family. Our lost trooper has now been found - forever a part of the Mississippi Highway Patrol family. Rest in Peace.

Captain Dyess…a man I’ll never meet this side of heaven. Your son is my father…and though he too only knew you through pictures and the memories of family and friends, he is much like you. You can be proud of who your son became, as a man and as a father. Granddaddy, your name and legacy live on through your children, grandchildren & great-grandchildren, and we are proud to call you our own. We honor your courage, commitment, and service.

This is my father. I never knew him as I was not quite one year old when he was killed. However, I grew up with family members who filled in a picture of him as a man and, for a few months, a father. It is clear to me that he was an active officer who believed in his work and was proud to be a member of the Mississippi Highway Patrol. I knew enough about him to have my life guided by his examples.
