Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Lord Jesus, as we watch America’s Peace Officers succumb to the wicked and evil in this world, Shot and Killed in the Line-of-Duty, it becomes difficult for us to pick up and move forward. Our communities are on the brink of exploding with tension. In light of the peace officers who are no longer with us, I pray for endurance for our communities and law enforcement agencies. Carry us through this time of strife, that through our struggles, our bonds may grow even more unbreakable. In Your mighty and holy name, I pray. Amen.

Holy Scriptures on Law Enforcement’s Mission:

“For the policeman [peace officer] does not frighten people who are doing right; but those doing evil will always fear him. So if you don’t want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. The policeman [peace officer] is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he [the peace officer] will have you punished. He [the peace officer] is sent by God for that very purpose. Obey the laws, then, for two reasons: first, to keep from being punished, and second, just because you know you should.” [Romans 13:3-5 TLB]

[Jesus Said,] “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” [John 15:13 ESV]

And he [Jesus] said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.” [Luke 23:43 ESV]

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [children] of God.” [Matthew 5:9 ESV]

“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” [Isaiah 6:8 ESV]

Still think of you always. I cannot believe you have been gone 11 years. Seems like yesterday - I had spoken with you 12 hours earlier & then you were gone. You were so funny & sweet and difficult and bossy, but you are missed more than you will ever know. I know you are watching over me just like you did when you were down here - even when I moved up north - you always checked on me. Please know you are always on my mind and in my heart. RIP & keep everyone straight up there!

Hey Tim!

It’s been a long time but you’re not forgotten. I still have your number in my phone- can’t make myself delete it. That morning about 3:45 I got the call I’ve dreaded my entire career. Rest Easy Brother!

As we close in on 10 years you have been gone, I still miss you!! Your laugh, jokes, kind heart and so much more are what I think of everyday. All of the "what it's" still ring in my mind. Where
would you be today?! How many great things we have missed out since you have left us. I know that your family and friends think of you too. You will never be forgotten, my love!!!

I am so glad you are in Heaven and I will see you again!! I will love you forever!

John 5:28, 29 - "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

Hard to believe it's been almost 4 years next Friday. I still go by and visit you. It's almost time for some new flowers but the windchime is still there playing beautiful music in the wind. I try to keep up with Matt, but he stays so busy :) We love and miss you so much. I still can't drive thru that intersection. I'll drive miles out of the way to avoid it... just not ready. Love and miss you :( Deb

Thought of you often at Police Week in DC last week. I spoke of you to several other survivors and colleagues of the Fallen, as they asked what brought me to Police Week. Your name on the wall is personal to me. Rest In Peace Brother.

Tim, I served a lot of years with you on the department and I often think of you and your twin brother. I am now serving as a Marshal in the City of Killeen, TX doing what we swore to do best, uphold the law and protect those who cannot protect themselves. I always keep in touch back home with my brothers and sisters in blue. I met an officer here on our department who knew you and ask me about you and sadly enough, I had to respond that you were gone, but not forgotten. I will always keep the Shreveport Police department in my prayers and in my heart. Rest in Peace fellow officer and friend.

Time seems like it flies by now a days; but time does not heal all wounds. Every time I drive to visit my father's grave site, I stop to pause by yours.
I learned a lot from you when we worked in Allendale together. You made it fun to work in a not so fluent part of town. I miss our late evening meals or dinners together (when we had the time). You believed in what was right and wrong and you feared no man. You are sorely missed Tim; but living in paradise has its perks. Until we meet again my brother.

Not a day goes by that you are not remembered. I can't believe that in just a few hours it will be three years since I received that awful phone call. Just a few hours ago it was 3 years since I spoke to you. Even then I had a funny feeling, but never dreamed it would be the last time we would talk & laugh. You are missed every day - I don't know if this is something I will ever get over. I think a part of me died with you. I know you are watching over everyone close to you - please know you are missed more every day!

Tim just had you on my mind today. I miss your smiling face and your laughter. You could light up a room!! You always had the room rolling with laughter before you left. I love and miss you so much Tim. Our lives have not been the same since you were taken from us. Our hearts still ache and our eyes still weep at the thought of not being able to hear your voice or see your smiling face. I know you are there in Heaven watching over us . One day we will get to walk beside you again in Heaven . Love Penny

I wondered how we could ever wish Matt a happy birthday after loosing his twin brother and best friend of 44 years? You are in my heart and mind everyday, Tim...as Matt. I try to live each day partly for you. You're watching over Matt at the feet of the Lord now, for he needs you the most. We'll all see you again on a joyous day and forget our pain and tears, Top Cat.

I cant say that i feel like justice was served but i can say that i feel like we did our best to honor you my friend. I know that no matter WHERE i go in my life i will take you on every adventure and every trip and you will be in every memory made because YOU are the reason i am still here and have the ability to do that. I am so sorry my friend that you are no longer here with me to share the laughs that we shared. I miss you so much still after all this time. Your laugh, the way you did you eyes all crazy, the way you checked on me nightly to make sure i was safe however i know that i have a guardian angel up there looking out for me. You and your family will ALWAYS be in my heart as we are forever bonded. Thank you my dear friend for being the friend you were to me and for bringing so many officers in my life that night that have become some of the best friends a girl could ask for. I love you.

I was watching news at home in DC; when I learned of your death. I didn't know you, but I cried over you. I sat in Shreveport, LA, watching the trial of your murderer, shedding tears again. Heard the jury cant decide if your murderer gets to live. You didn't have people voting on whether you lived: only one person made that decision. I pray justice is served. I will never stop shedding tears over your death and the death of joy inside your brothers, who love you. We never met, but when I met your twin, I cried harder to think of such a loss! I never knew you, but I loved you anyway.
