Lane, I'm speechless. Words cannot describe what I feel. I'm numb. The sense of everlasting loss was immediate. There is a void that will never be filled. I know that you wanted so desperately to right what was wrong and often you were misunderstood. I am proud to call you my friend. I'll miss you Lane. Rest Brother.

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.

Hey Bro, Serving with you at Fort Jackson on those ranges was interesting to say the least. Bravo Company sure was a hoot huh? You beat me to retirement and made one helluva deputy. I just retired and went full time and I am assigned to Region Three and I really regret not being able to serve along side you on the Streets of Three. Man, you were one good Soldier and one good Cop. You will be missed more than you will ever know. Do me a favor though? Keep an eye on my back when I am working the road? Keep watch over all of us from above ok? Rest in Peace Brother.
