Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

The incident that changed a lot of peoples lives happened the day after my birthday. I was called at 5A, only thing I heard on the other end was sobbing. I knew something was horribly wrong. That day and many others to follow have been very difficult to get through because I was and am so far away in another academy. Each day an instructor talks about their classmates they have lost in the line of duty. So when birthday time comes, mixed emotions of wanting to celebrate my birthday yet knowing that my academy class mate is gone is so draining and makes me angry. It makes me angry because of the evil that people have in their spirit. Then I remember that he has always been and always will be a hero. I choose to remember the great times in that old dusty building. Brian sweating holding a fire extinguisher in each hand, arms stretched out to his sides. I choose to keep working hard and diligent. He is a true hero. My prAyers to Brian's family. Love and miss you my academy brother in blue.

Wow 3 years Huff! Today is such an emotional day. You are national news once again :-) Numerous of individuals who loved you aligned outside of the house where you went home at 3:00am this morning for vigil. They have retired your car radio number. Something that has never been done in Detroit. We will all come together to celebrate your life tonight. You have an AMAZING wife and a intelligent son. Kudos to Melissa for holding her head up high for Blair. I couldn't image what today feels like for you. Know that the entire DPD family loves you guys and were here to support you today, forever, and always :-)

See you tonight Love.

I just had tears in my eyes this morning when I watched your son stand at the front door of 20263 Schoenherr. He said he wants to take over where you left off. I gave him a hug and said to him we are all here for him, we are his family. We retired 5-14 at 5/3/2013 3:50 a.m. E.J. Said it will be retired for eternity , I thought to myself this was a long time coming. Keep watching over us while we continue to do what you loved to do. We will miss you here at Eastern. May the great Heavenly Father give you everlasting peace big brother Huff.

You are sooooo missed. Everyday, I miss you laughing, cracking jokes or looking down your nose at me making that "grumbling" sound. When you walked into the room, you drew all of the attention. I know you are happy now, but I hate the way you left. I hate that someone hurt you. I would never hurt you. I wish I could have been there, just to save you from dying. I didn't want you to leave and I wish I could bring you back. I'm not yet ready to accept that someone took you away. I know it's selfish, but, I sometimes wish it could have been someone else. I hate looking at your face on the wall; I never thought your picture would be there and I never thought I would be speaking of you as a memory. I need you! I need your advice! I need to talk to you! I miss you dear friend, you are loved!

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones as this holiday season arrives. I know that they think of you always. Thank you for being the hero that you are. Normal citizens run in the opposite direction when they hear or see gunfire, police offficers and soldiers are the only ones that run to the gunfire. You are a true hero and heroes never die. Continue to keep watch over all of your loved ones, you will never be forgotten.

Huff, just when I think I've come to terms with you being gone... I look at your picture, I re-play all of our memories and I find myself sobbing.. you were an incredible cop and partner! Nothing made a long midnight shift better then the comic relief you brought to off duty roll call, or to our many humorous runs.. and you and AJ... all I can do is laugh seeing both your huge ass' pack into that vic with your hats ALWAYS on... I will love and miss you forever big guy.. hope you know how many of us you touched, in such a profound way.. I love you Huff.
Love Always
