Agent Byrne, it's now the 6th anniversary of your murder. I can only hope that the animals faced true justice whether they were caught by law enforcement or received it at the hands of their own ilk. Either way, I just hope they paid for what they did to the fullest extent.
Keep watching over your colleagues and may you continue to rest. God Bless, Brother.

They all miss you, but they know you're there with them every day of their lives. They are your legacy to a world in desperate need for better men.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Special Agent Byrne and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever.
To the family, friends, and colleagues of Special Agent Byrne, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to move on. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Special Agent Byrne is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family, and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
For those who pledge to uphold it, Freedom requires a sacrifice the protected will never know.

I AM A WARRIOR
I fight not for glory or fame,
For they are momentary.
I fight for those who can't.
I fight for Justice.
I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden.
And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets,
For I serve to protect the innocent.
It matters not where or when,
For evil knows no boundaries.
Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny,
I will not flee.
Justice is my weapon.
Faith is my shield.
Hope is my armor.
Cry not at my passing,
For it was my Honor to fight for you.
Shed not tears of sorrow,
But tears of joy,
For now,
I stand with God.
Rest in Peace Brother. We have it from here!!!

Special Agent Byrne, I am saddened by the accounts of your death at the hands of savages. The brutality it took to beat you to death only reflects the viciousness that these thugs have within them and shows what animals they are. You obviously did your job and did it quite well if it got them to attack you in such a manner. The innocent, the hard working and the just do not deserve such treatment.
You are a true hero and you will never be forgotten.
God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
