Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Kyle David Pagerly

Hey Bro, remember all the fun times we had in scent school. I really enjoyed your company and your wonderful partner Jynx. Remember all the trips to South Philadelphia for training. We had some good times. Rest in peace brother and friend.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, 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 tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got 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 an unmanly tear.
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 often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"

Berks 1737: I was on my way to work when I saw the chopper lift off. I had no idea what had happened. I can only say that our hearts are forever broken and a star shines bright from the Heavens above.

"The wind whispers that life really never ends but continues on in a place even more beautiful".

May God continue to hold you safely in the palm of his hand and may he also grant peace and solitude to those who remain here on Earth to carry on.

Kyle,
I still remember that phone call that Wednesday night. I couldn't believe that I loss a very good friend, fellow Deputy and firefighter. I was honored to attend your service and it was very emotional, but seeing all the support from the police officers, firefighters, and community was amazing. I never realized how many people were touched by you even if they did not know you. You are a hero Kyle and you saved lives of several Deputies and police officers with you that night. Keep a watch over me and the rest of the law enforcement brothers and sisters and of course the firefighters as well. I love and miss you brother.

Twice the Hero
A poem written in honor of Deputy Pagerly and his faithful K9 Jynx
~By Cheryl Schulte~

A bond like theirs is forever, something people don’t often see,
but if you were ever in their presence, you would absolutely agree.

That the relationship? They were partners, the motivation wasn’t due,
to any calculated obligation, it was just something that they knew.

That if there was any trouble, together goodness they would guide,
as long as they both worked as one, evil intentions would be denied.

This was something they believed in both day in and day out,
it was something that was needed, they couldn’t harbor any doubts.

For two heroes working together they always kept the crooks in line,
they knew that they must keep working and never stop deterring crime.

But it wasn’t always about work, afterwards they headed home,
to a life outside of the J.O.B, they were family, that was known.

Theirs was truly a happy home and all anticipated expectantly,
the coming of a new addition, a new member of their family.

Both were content with the living of their everyday fulfilling existence,
there was nothing more they wished for than to push themselves to daily go the distance.

Until the day they got that call, to respond they were duty bound,
never knowing that the life they loved was about to come unwound.

They suited up, they met their comrades, they began to infiltrate,
the lair of a sleeping monster whose life was twisted up with hate.

As they approached their last battleground, as one together they both trod, never knowing soon that one of them would see the face of God.

The brave K9 officer sensed that there was something that lie in wait,
and he began to sound the warning hoping his proclamation was not too late.

The team realized that something was wrong and they all stopped and paused as one,
but despite his valiant efforts the murderer’s catastrophic plan had begun.

As all began to watch in horror a haze of gunfire began to fly,
and the brave K9 could not believe his master fell before his very eyes.

His pain was the dog’s pain, and brave Jynx somehow knew,
that even though there was little hope, still there was something he must do.

He refused to leave his master’s side even though the bullets continued to fly, they were simply a mere annoyance to him because with every fiber of his being he had to try.

He grabbed ahold of his fallen master’s clothes and pulled valiantly,
and tried to drag his partner away, into the arms of safety.

And then when the gunfire ceased and the quiet stillness fell,
he felt the sorrow in the air and a wave of grief began to swell.

For in losing his friend and partner, he had lost his very life,
and had lost his sense of purpose the whole meaning drowned in strife.

But soon there was a spark of hope, because the good people decided to give, the faithful K9 back to his human mother where he had always lived.

He held tight to the sense of comfort and the all encompassing feelings of love, that she had always bestowed and he knew were sent down from above.

His heart began to heal from the tragic events that happened that night,
he had found a new purpose, and a new meaning to his life.

He knew he must watch out for his mistress to her his heart must be true,
to honor his master’s memory, such actions were certainly due.

In time he knew that peace would come as he would faithfully stand in guard,
of those his partner left behind it would show his infinite regard.

But there will still always be a part of him that wishes it had been him who had sacrificed,
he would rather have been the one to go he would have readily paid that price.

But because the choice wasn’t his to make, there was nothing he could do,
he knew he had to forge a new path and start a life anew.

For his mistress and the baby child to be he will with every second of his life guide,
and would only act in such a way that would inspire his partner’s pride.

And when this faithful dog’s time on earth has run its course a hero’s welcome he will get,
as he will be able to tell his partner that he had paid up any debts.

Because a bond like theirs is forever, something people don’t often see,
and as part of God’s heavenly guard, eternal partners they will be.

Kyle.. I wish our families would have had the opportunity to spend more time together. Whenever we went out with you and Alecia all we would talk about after was how much fun we had, and how great of people you and Alecia are. Frank always had nothing but good things to say about you, and I know he loved working and spending time with you. I am so grateful to have known you and will forever be grateful for your heroism. It is because of you and Jynx that Frank and many others are still here. You would have done anything for anyone and I def see that, I mean you even came to the hospital not to long ago to see us after Angelina was born even though you were sick. I hope you are looking down and seeing all the actions everyone is doing to help support Alecia and the baby, you would be so proud. I will never forget you,may you rip<3

Rest in Peace, Kyle, and know that you are missed. Thank you for your service...Berks County will not be the same without you here. Alecia, you are in our prayers. I can not imagine the pain you are going through, but know that you were married to a wonderul man whom everyone loved. We will never forget him.

Hey Kyle, It was a tough day on Wednesday but we made it through. We made it through on all the memories and fun times we shared when you were still here. I wish things could have been different, but I know that you got to see all the people, friends, family, and fellow brothers in blue that came to see you off. It was a sight that words cannot describe.
Pags, it will be tough without you but I know that there are pieces of you that will remain here with us to help. There are so many things going on in such a short time in your honor, and the outpouring of people that have given up their time for you as you did while you were here. Look down on us from time to time as we will always keep you in our hearts. Rest well my friend and know that " We got this " down here for Alicia and your family.
Love you brother......miss you very much.

Kyle and Jynx led us into a heavily wooded area searching for a violent fugitive. Although this fugitive had a plan to ambush as many officers as he could before meeting his maker, he did not plan for Jynx to find him first. Jynx alerted Kyle to his hiding spot and doing what he was trained to do Kyle engaged him prior to first shot being fired. Kyle stood his ground and returned fire before being fatally wounded. This exchange of fire allowed other team members to locate his position and silence the threat. Jynx being given the Medal of Honor at his handlers funeral was more than Kyle would have ever expected but well deserved. Kyle and Jynx are and will always be my hero and never forgotten.

I was so honored to have been in attendance at Deputy Pagerly's memorial service yesterday. I did not know him personally but it did not take long to see what a terrific individual he was; both professionally and in his family life. Deputy Pagerly is a shining example of a hero and I will never forget the sacrifice he made in order to protect the community he served. God bless Deputy Pagerly, his family and members of the Berks County Sheriffs Department.

Dep. pagerly, it was truly my honor to represent my department at your memorial. Rest peacefully knowing your brothers will carry on. For the family I send our condolences and respect for your sacrifice. When the sadness fades take great pride, as he was obviously dedicated to serve as evidenced by his duties as a deputy, part-time officer and volunteer fire fighter.
For Jynx, it broke my heart to hear you cry throughout the ceremony. You did your job protecting Kyle and his human partners; and when he fell, you did what you could to get him out of harms way. Enjoy a well earned retirement with your family.
