God Bless your family through this terrible tragedy. Thank you Officer Brown for your service, though your career was cut short by an irrational and sensless act, the service you gave is not forgotten nor taken for granted. Your family will be in my prayers.

Sincere condolences to every one of this true hero's family, friends and work colleagues.

Having recently lost a brave work colleague (Constable Brett IRWIN) here in Australia in similar circumstances, I was touched by the many messages of support and condolences from overseas police including from the USA which were recieved at the time. These people never knew Brett as I never knew Norvelle. However, we are all brothers and sisters in a common cause and people like Norvelle have nothing but the utmost and absolute respect from myself and every police officer from the Queensland Police Service.

Norvelle, Rest in Peace. You died a true hero.

To the family, friends, and officers that knew Officer Brown, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you face the trying times ahead of you. Please know your not alone.

Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way
I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closest

Officer Brown as i know him as Cheeto was a great friend. He inspired me to continue playing football at the collegiate level my true freshmen year. i went through a lot of adversity here at eastern Illinois university. In high school i was phenomenal athlete, so coming to eastern i expected to continue be extraordinary on the field. I was just another great player on this great team who had to wait his turn to shine. i wanted to quit becasue i was use to playing instead of being on the sideline. Cheeto inspired me not to quit and continue to work hard, now i'm the #1 linebacker in the nation. thanks Cheeto i love you and you will be missed

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

To the family, friends and co-workers of Officer Brown:
Please accept my deepest sympathies on your loss. Here was a young man working to make the streets of St. Louis a better, safer place to live. Interesting that he grew up in the same environment as his killer but took the high road and chose to do something positive with his life. How can a 15 year old become so callous as to intentionally take another's life - a person who was trying to make his world a better place? I can only hope that his young person (I can't call him a young man because a true man would not do such a despicable thing) is certified to be tried as an adult and is, at the very minimum, put away for the rest of his life. My guess is that it won't make a difference, though, as he probably thinks that it's someone else's fault. I hope, in time, that this coward accepts the responsibility for his actions.

Officer Brown, may you rest in peace. Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice.

A grateful resident of the City of St. Louis

Rest in peace, my brother. You are now in a much better place. You will never be forgotten. May God wrap his arms of love and comfort around your family, friends, and fellow officers during this most difficult time.

I was watching the news when the reports came in that a city officer was shot. I immediatly called my parents to see if my brother was ok as he works in the 7th. I learned later on that night that my brother was one of the officers there with you when you went home to god. I was up most of the night crying for you and thinking and praying for your family. I have never seen my brother cry before except as a child. He told me you were a brave young man who was not afraid, that you loved your job and coming to work. You are a true hero who did not deserve to die so young.

I ask that you watch over my brother and all of the officers of the SLMPD. I know at anytime it could be my brother or some other officer who has his life cut short by the senseless violence that I will never understand. Your sacrafice will always be remembered.
