Brian, I think of you often. I would have taken your place if I could have. For some reason things happened the way they did, but you did what most Sedgwick County Sheriff Deputies would do, you fought. You are a hero and we will never forget.

I heard your dad's story this morning on K Love. What a great testimony. As someone who also lost my love in the line of duty four years ago, I can relate to the overwhelming grief and pain you are going through. I can also relate to the unexplainable peace and grace that only God can provide. Although everyday is difficult, these anniversaries are unbearable as we re-live the day you were taken. Know that you are not alone in your walk. Thinking and praying for you and your family espicially today.

Deputy Etheridge,
I never got a chance to meet you, and I know I am late in leaving this reflection, I appreciate the time that you kept this community safe, your bravery will always be remembered. You will never be forgotten, your memory will live on forever in your family, friends, and those of us who never had the honor of knowing you. I heard a quote a while back that I feel fits you perfectly. "There's heroes and there are legends, heroes get remembered, and legends never die" Deputy Etheride you are a hero and a legend, you will always be remembered and your spirit will never die. God bless you and your family!!

I stopped by your resting place on 11/27/2009 to pay my repsects. I know we didnt know each other all that well Brian but when we learned about our fallen brothers in the academy I never put much thought into it because it had been so long since it happened. Rest assured brother your family is well taken care of. Its hard to spot a blue or tan uniform that doesnt have a black band on their wrist. We see your face every time we go to squad meeting and it brings some comfort knowing we have you watching over us. Rest In Peace Deputy Etheridge

Brian we went to school together and we graduated together, I have even called upon you for advice, and when the radio call went out and they said your name, I lost it totally, I keep asking myself why, you were a strong man, a wonderful husband and a awesome father, because of you this world is a better place and the lives that you helped changed and effected are countless.

I visit you nearly 4 times a week, in hopes that I this nightmare will end and you will be back in uniform, I know that your in a better place now, watchingover all of us, your a hero Brian and you will NEVER be forgotten, and your family will always be taken care of and loved

God Bless Brother, We will meet again !!!!!

WAY TOO YOUNG, AND WAY TOO SOON! Sedgwick County and the State of Kansas suffered a tremendous loss. I hope your daughter grows up knowing her daddy died a true hero, but one without a cape or superpowers. May your family relish the good times, laughter, and HAPPY moments, rather than be subject to the tragegy. Thank you for your service, your time, and your dedication to your profession. Rest in Peace Deputy Etheridge.

I did not know Deputy Etheridge but as a former full time officer and now a reserve I know of the sacrifices we make in the profession we have chosen. Brian gave the ultimate sacrifice. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, daughter, and his entire family including his fellow deputies and officers of the Sedgwick Co. S.O. and Wichita PD. Rest in peace Brian as your fellow brothers in blue have the watch now. You will always be remembered as a HERO.
