Hard to believe it’s been 12 years since we lost you. Trevor is your spitting image. You would be so proud of him & of Renee. Gone but NEVER forgotten.

My son, MSHP Trooper James M. Bava, was killed in the same manner while pursuing a fleeing motorcyclist on Aug 28, 2015 in Audrain County, Missouri. The motorcyclist was eventually apprehended after an extensive search. Our family went through two difficult trials in two and a half years. In the end the defendant was found not guilty of second degree murder and felony eluding. An real injustice was done that day. I wonder if the motorcyclist in this latest LEO death is the same motorcyclist responsible for my son’s death. Pray for the protection of our LEO’s.

Time goes on, the memories remain,
Our love for you continues to grow
Every day, just like this pain

Your smile, your laugh,
The way you'd light up a room,
Are just some of those things missing that warmed my heart.

We keep your memory alive, your legacy lives on I'm your beautiful son,
We wish you were here with us, but God said you were the one.

We love you, dear Charlie,
Then, now, and forevermore,

I had only been with this agency since January when this tragedy happened. I had only graduate the academy in December. I had to completely reevaluate my choice of profession. I almost quit that day. There is still a picture hanging in our patrol office as a reminder of what you and your sacrifice. You are not forgotten Charlie and a hero remembered never dies.

I know its been a long while since i have posted on here. But i just want to let you know, that doesnt mean i think of you any less. Your on my mind constantly. They say the pain gets easier with time, I dont know who came up with that.. But it's so far from the truth. It doesn't get any easier. You just learn to live with it better.. The days aren't so much of a blur any more, but the pain is just as raw. You just figure out how to cover it up. What i wouldn't give to hear your voice and see that big smile. I miss my big brother, so much, it's absolutely unreal. I love you Bubby. More than anything in the world. Bigger than the sky. Foreber and eber..

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

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you. I thank your family and friends for shring their devotion to you through their reflections.

You were gone too soon
You're part of me
And I'll never be
The same here without you
You were gone too soon

I cannot believe some of the things that have happened in almost the last 4 years. I know that all of us here on earth have the best angels looking down on us and watching over us. I never would have dreamed that anyone would be joining you, especially James. That has been really tough for us down here. I told Jimmy to tell you all about Trevor and how amazing he is, but I know you already know that. Trevor made the decision to be baptized and was on Monday. He is so smart. He talks about you often-how you used to watch him ride the little 4-wheeler. Wish you could be here to cheer him on at his games. He's gonna be just like you-looks like you more and more everyday. He misses you. When I had to tell him Jimmy didn't make it, he said "that's ok mommy-he's in heaven now with my daddy and God. His body will not hurt, he will be free from pain, he will be whole again-forever." Amazing. I know that you, Dan, and James are patrolling the streets of heaven. Miss you.
