Reflections for Police Officer Everett William Dennis
Happy Birthday EWD. Wanted you to know we were still thinking of you. You are missed.

Everett, I still miss you, but that doesn't surprise me one bit. From the first day I met you in academy to the long months to follow and the friendship that never ceased...thank you. I miss your smiling face and think about you often. Actually, the best part is, we can still talk about you and laugh, I wish you were still here. I've begun to notice that everywhere I have worked in law enforcement, you did too (other than HPD, and who could be mad at you for that), I still find little things with your name and badge number on it where ever I go, little reminders so that I may never forget. You are still missed but don't think time goes by without mentioning your name, sharing a story, and always having a good laugh. Watch over us as we patrol our streets, and you continue to patrol yours. See you again my friend...

EWD I think about you daily. You left this world way before your time. I watched you as you became a great officer. The citizens you served will probably never know what all you did for them in the short time you were here. GOD must have had great plans for you in heaven to take you from us, because I knew you were going to have an impact here. My boys still talk about you. We were outside the other day and one of them hit the cable wire on the house. He told me he was glad he didn't knock it off the house like you did. I remember when I came outside that you thought I would be mad, just so you know I thought it was funny. It touched me how you would take time out of your busy life to interact with my boys. I have seen a lot of officers come and go here in the time I have been here for one reason or another but want you to know that I miss you the most. You will not be forgotten.

EWD, Man not a day goes by that I do not think of you. I miss you but I know that you are in a better place. I have told a lot of people about you and all of them laugh at the stories. You are one of a kind and you touched many hearts including mine. EWD I miss you... and guess I always will.

We all went to the site and then to your grave site lastnight...We all miss you and love you bro...Keep your eyes on us while we patrol down here man...and keep up the good work patroling the Lord's streets up there. See you when I get there bro.

EWD, hey brother i want you to know we are still missing you and that the police department is definetly not the same anymore without you here. Some things have changed, some people have come and gone, but i make sure everyone that does come here i mention you and some of your crazy stuff you did. I also let them know what happened to you so that i don't have to relive that night again. I never pass by the crash site without doing my own little nod to you out of respect and mourning. I carry you on my arm with a tattoo, i carry your stories in my head and i carry you in my heart at all times. Miss you Brother, see you one day- but not too soon.

I would like to tell you a little about the guy i call my friend! Everett Dennis. Everett was amazing, outrageous, hillarious, wonderful, honest, giving, caring, dedicated, loving and the best friend anyone could ever ask for. Beleive it or not I only knew Everett for 6 months. In those 6 months, i beleive we shared a lifetime friendship. A friendship that can never be broken, not even by death. Everett was the most dedicated person to this town as an officer and to his friends as a true hero. It was an honest whole hearted pleasure to have gotten to know such a beautiful person. I am truly blessed to have such a guardian angel on my side. I love you E-Dawg. Thanks for the memories. They will always keep you alive in my heart. What i would do for one of your big huggs! xoxoforeverxoxoandxoxoalwaysxoxo!

To those who loved Officer Dennis, my heart goes to you all. Know that you're not alone in this journey you walk. I lost my fiance in the line of duty January 2003 and my world was forever changed. It's been a long hard road, and even as time as gone forward, and I've found many reasons and ways to smile, I still have not forgotten the man that he was. Dennis was a beautiful person and he forever has a part of my heart, just as I'm sure Everett will always be a part of yours.
It takes a special person to put their lives on the line everyday to make this world a little safer for us all. I know many of these men never would've thought of themselves as "heroes" but they were in so many ways. It's sad that it they had to lose their lives for some of us to see that. Having said that, thank you Officer Dennis for helping to make this world a better place. You will not be forgotten here in Winnipeg. I know this isn't a very manly thing to do, but if you happen to run into Dennis up there, please give him a big hug for the kids and I. Dennis was a good man and we miss him more than words can say.
Wishing those who loved you brighter and better days,

Hey Ofc. Everett, seems like yesterday u were playin' catch with me and Timothy and helpin put Sgt. Blake's cable wire back on the house, Ofc. Allison was pickin' up on me the other day at the scrimmage, i'm pretty sure you would've helped him. I've got u listed as one of my hero's on myspace, and i have a little section about you on my about me. The C.P.D. did a good job on your funeral buddy. The last call made me cry. But i'll see you later on in life man. Semper Fidelious, carry on and Rest In Peace bro. i'll carry you in my heart everywhere.

Everett Dennis was a fine officer and yet an even finer person. He was the most dedicated officers I have ever met. Everett had a greater passion for law enforcement than most. Everett, you are irreplaceable and will always be remembered in our hearts. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU EVERETT! CARTHAGE IS NOT THE SAME WITHOUT YOU!!

I remember when Dennis and I used to do some of the craziest things that would only maker us closer as friends. We've known each other for a long time and I consider him family. I miss Dennis very much and still think of him as my brother. I remember being at both ends of the spectrum with Dennis. We had a love hate relationship sometimes but I would do anything for him and he was the same for me. I miss you very much Dennis and I know that I will see you again. You'll never ever be replaced!
