My heart and prayers for the Wyman family,
It is always hard to hear of such a good man so young in life, take into Gods arms. I have served many places and with many people. When your part of a team like his it hurts so much.I want you to remember that he is on another team now. He works for Gods team now. There is no greater honor than to be chosen for the Army of God. My friends here in my church will keep you all in our prayers and are sorry for your loss. We are also proud to have Kurt on Gods team fighting for us.

God bless you and keep you.

Much Love and many prayers go out to Officer Kurt Wyman's precious wife, children and surviving family. My heart as a member of this community is broken; I cannot fathom the unquenchable pain that Kurt's Dear Loved One's are experiencing. I simply want to thank Officer Wyman for the incredible sacrifice he offered in serving us as a Deputy Sheriff. And I want to thank his Dear wife and family for loving and supporting such a precious soul as He. God Bless and Comfort you all as you travel along. Please know that this Dear man's life was not in vain; and that even one like I; who never had the privilege of meeting this unselfish, serving man; has been touched and changed by the incredible unselfish sacrifice of this beautiful man and his family. ~ "All that I have seen has taught me to TRUST GOD for all that I have not seen." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson. ~~ My prayers will remain with all of you in the days, weeks months and years to come. And may the soul of the Honorary Deputy Sheriff Kurt Wyman REST IN PEACE in the arms of His Loving Saviour. And may the light and comfort of Christ be a Beacon of Hope to all who loved this man. God Bless You All.

In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

To the grieving family and friends of Officer Wyman, my deepest sympathies. My heart breaks for each and every one of you - to the children who will never know what an awesome father he was and would have been, to his wife, who loses the love of her life, to everyone who was touched by this fine young man. My prayer is that your faith gets you through this. Heaven is a happier place today, but those left behind are mourning such a senseless loss.

I am a grateful citizen.
