Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

For the first time in several years, I won't be able to touch yours or Andy's name on the memorial during the candlelight vigil. The last couple years have been really hard and a challenge
and I wish I could have picked up the phone and called you for advice or anything. I made it to retirement though! I wonder how far you would have gone? One of our motley crew made Chief. Can you believe it? She deserved it. I wonder if you were still here, if maybe that would have been you? You were better than all of us. I really miss you my brother in blue. It still seems like yesterday you were riding through the station on that Big Wheel-Persuit Edition, with that silly helmet with lights and siren on it(because your bike may have been driven over by a truck). I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard or was that happy. I love you Pat. I miss you more than anything. Please keep the watch over us.

Pat was my DS at Ft. MCClellan and I have always looked up to him. He was a damned good NCO in the MP Corps. He prepared me well for the deployments to come for me. I will miss him and so will the world.

Pat was a good friend of mine while ststioned at Fort Bliss Tx. I have been looking for Pat for years. Pat would do anything for anyone, not wanting anything in return. What a sad affair.

Love you Pat.

He was a constant professional, a great, soldier, a true patriot. He taught me how to become a better person and soldier.
May he rest in eternal peace.

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.

1SG Sirois changed my life in 1996. I was a young punk Private in his company and he actually took the time to show me how the Army really worked. He become the father I never had (even though he was 5'4" and I was a whole foot taller than him :) I found out he passed on December 1st 2010 when I did a Google search to find him so I could tell him how much his influence meant to me. I eventually retired from the Army and now I am still serving as a civilian. Thank you Top for everything.

Even seconds before your death, you were absolutely selfless, pushing a man out of the way and sacrificing your life for his. Not many people can reach that kind of selflessness and courage to do something like that

Can't believe it's that time of year again. Every thanksgiving, I sit down with my family and say a little prayer for you and Andy. I miss you brother. I hope you guys are watching over me and keeping me and the rest of the Ft. Hood crew safe. Thanks for the memories that I continue to share with guys in my new department. You are certainly not forgotten. Happy Thanksgiving Pat.

Man. Tomorrow. One year ago, I received the phone call about Pat being struck by a car two hours prior and not making it. I was at a loss. I second guessed the caller of Pat not making it, yet he said Pat was killed helping an unknown motorist. I told Boore as I was at his house when I got the call. His phone started ringing as well, advising him of the same news. We both couldn't believe it. I never felt such an empty, quiet, unreal feeling. In the following days, I realized that funny little, big brother-like, goofy and caring cop had an influence on so many others rather than just myself. Thats just the way he was. I loved backing him up just as much as I loved him backing me up. Rest in Peace Pat. Love you man.

Pat, you were in life a positive role model and now even after your death you are still a positive role model. Your memory will live on in Central Texas and in the hearts of your family, friends and communities that you valiantly served. You were and still are the type of officer that we should all strive to be, I am a better officer and better man for knowing you. I strive to be the officer you were. Rest in peace brother

I'm so glad you have recognized by this and other sites. Your willingness to help someone in need is the sign of a police officer. I know your friendship meant a lot to my son, Andrew. My prayers go out to your family.
