Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

David and I attended the same academy together in 2006-07. He was a great man. He loved his family dearly and had a true passion for law enforcement. He had a great sense of humor and kept us laughing through the entire academy. He will truely be missed and never forgot. God bless his family and friends.

David was always a big help when I brought someone to jail. He just loved to tease me and the criminals about the pink handcuffs I would deliver them in. After moving to patrol, David worked the opposite end of the county from us but was always on the way when things sounded bad. Thanks for being there, you will be missed.
