Reflections for Officer Sergio Carrera
Sergio,
Today marks the 4th year of our loss of a great husband, father, son, brother, and in my case a friend. Sergio there truely is not one day that passes that we do not think or speak of you. I catch myself to this day looking over the backyard and hoping to see you there. Sometimes it may sound funny but I think I hear your voice or even think I see you washing the truck. I wish we had more time but I know this is me being selfish, instead I would love to continue to thank GOD for the time he allowed me to meet and become your friend.
May you continue to R.I.P and remember you will always remain in our hearts and prayers.
We Love you Sergio

Sergio
I remember when I met you, you stayed late to help me balance my drawer... you always laughed and joked with me and made me feel a part of the team. I remember that I was in school to be a reporter and you a police officer... We did it Sergio!! I remember how you used to laugh at my junkie old car!! Today, my job brings me to your case. I can see you smiling!! See you in paradise.

Today when I heard what had happened to Jermaine Gibson it bought back a lot of the same feelings I had the day you passed. I can't stop thinking about how sad you guys must be not being able to be with your families. I feel so sad for your families too not being able to have you around...when I see Octavio and Louise dude I don't even know what to say. All I can do is pray and hope your family is doing better.

Hey Serg I was thinking of you today. The weather has been cold like before when we would freeze in the house. Its funny how we could never agree on a lot but we agreed to disagree and that is what would make us laugh about one another.
Happy Thanksgiving and Thanks for Giving and leaving a memory beyond words.

Belonging to the same circle of friends I remember Sergio as one that always brightened up a scene. He was an individual that people gravitated to because his unforgettable sense of humor. The gift to make people laugh, even people that may not even have known him a few minutes ago, but now are in tears laughing is truly a gift.
On the day I heard of his passing from a friend of ours I remember the exact place I was in, and what I was doing when I learned of the news...the first thoughts that came to mind was how hard Sergio worked on becoming an officer. Every time I would run into him at a party or get together I could feel the passion he had in reaching his goal to be an officer. I was proud when I heard he had reached that goal after a long period of fighting for it, through tests; paperwork and everything else that comes with the process. To hear that he was lost in the line of duty was heartbreaking, but I know that his dedication to serve the law, and the greater good to those he served for, will never be forgotten.
The person he was, and the spirit he continues to be will always remind me of a kind person who loved to make people laugh, a person who had a goal in life and reached it, and to never give up on your dreams.
This is usually when I would say rest in peace to Sergio, but as I mentioned before, Sergio's gift of making others laugh and instantly be happy, I know that the spirits that are around Sergio are not resting in peace, but rather resting loudly with laughter.
We know you're in a better place now, and we all miss you Serg, and you will never be forgotten.

To remember your good nature, your great spirit and your contagious smile. Today we celebrate your life and not your death. Today we all went to your trial to show support to your family and loved ones. To show everyone that through it all we stand together as a family and we will get you the justice you deserve.

Happy Fathers Day Serg,
Another year has gone by without you. This year Serg and Bella were really sad because they said they wanted to have their "Papa" here with them on fathers day. I told them that you are constantly watching over them from heaven and that you will always be with them in spirit. They are growing up so fast, and are very smart as well. Thank you for your constant support from up above. The kids and I love you and not a day goes by that we dont talk about you. Love you always Big Serg. 6/20/2010
