Officer Brenton,

Your brave and strong wife speaks eloquently and represents you well. Even in her grief, she is able to reach out to other griveing families.

You will not be forgotten; rest in peace.

Tim,
I wanted to give this some time before attempting to write a fitting reflection of you. I thought that some time would provide more clarity. However, no amount of time will explain why some bad people do what they do. It seems that too often the very best of us are the ones who are taken. You were my friend, my brother-in-arms. More importantly, you were a husband and father, a son and a brother. I know you can see that all the love that you gave has multiplied. Your life of duty, courage and honor lives on and is an inspiration to all of us who remain here. We will carry on, taking you and your memory with us.
Rest easy brother.

Officer Brenton,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your community, but also for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army as well. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I lived in LaConner at the same time he was an officer there. He had the best sense of humor. You could tell he truly enjoyed his job. I just wish that these criminals would realize that they are not just killing an officer. They are killing dads, moms, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles. The uniform does not define them. It is their profession, not their life. My condolences to his wife (Who is another hero in light of the Lakewood shootings, his children, his extended family and his fellow officers. I have friends in the small town I live in now that are police officers and this and the Lakewood murders have affected everyone. God Speed Officer Brenton. "Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets. You already did your time in Hell."

Officer Brenton, your family and friends continue to be in my thoughts and prayers during this holiday season, and in the face of the recent murders in Lakewood, WA. I attended your memorial service, and was so moved by the stories of what a fun and remarkable man you were. Thank you so much for your service.

The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.

There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

To the family and co-workers of Officer Timothy Brenton: I was shocked by the circumstances that claimed the life of your loved one/friend. Police Officers are exposed to great dangers at times-the evilness and violence of others. God Bless the life and memory of Officer Brenton. He will not be forgotten.
