Rest easy Brother Stephen you fought the good fight and did your best to protect society from exactly the kind of criminal who took you from us. Rest easy now we'll carry on the watch.

June 25, 2007

We all know it can happen,
When we put our Colors on.
It only takes an instant,
Then one of us is gone.

Day to day we walk our beat,
In God we put our faith.
'Cause we're the law inside the wall,
We keep the Public safe.

You've done the job that few can do,
Your shift is at an end.
Farewell my Brother, Rest in peace,
On you we could depend.

No tribute or word can aspire to bear witness to an officer's life or the duty they bear. But examples of how officers are commonly viewed are as servants, mediators, stewards, custodians, babysitters and emissaries. It almost seems unfortunate that the suffering they endure for the good of the public does not place them in the light of courageous, undaunted, caring, selfless and yes as heroes until they have sacrificed everything they have and would have been for the common good. Officer Anderson truly held all of these traits for the fact he bypassed professions that proffered wealth, fame and societal admiration to strap on his weapon and badge for 22 years to serve the public that didn't even know he existed up to this moment. Like all Officers he tenaciously dealt with the dregs of society in environments and hostilities that most citizens are indifferent and unaware of because of his efforts. Yet like many of us that wear the badge he reaped the benefits through the satisfaction and hope that he was making a difference in the community he so valued. In a soft-spoken voice his values passed onto his son who works for the same department and whom I know needs our prayers and encouragement to keep to the fight. As Edmund Burke said "All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing". I know Stephen's values and aspirations will live on through his children, grandchildren and all the other Officers that unselfishly do something.

All of our thoughts are with your family Officer Anderson. I don't know what to say, other than thank you for your service of 22 years, in a thankless profession. You will not be forgotten.
