Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I met SGT Kenner 11 years ago while working as a security patrol Officer in Bismarck, his size when you first meet him is intimidating, when you talked to him he never talked down to you and always had some advice or a good story to tell. I always felt a sense of relief when he would show up during a call. You will truly be missed SGT Steve Kenner, Gone but not forgotten.

The Broken Badge

He put on the blue late one warm summer night,

His badge upon his chest polished so bright,

Though his badge was old it shined like new,

For it was much loved by this man in blue.

His badge was his promise to all who came his way,

“I’m here to serve you,” it seemed to say,

A silver badge with edges straight and true,

Just like the heart of this man in blue.

He didn’t see the gun that took his life,

He slipped away crying out for his wife,

His broken badge clung bravely to his chest,

A shattered witness to his last breath.

His badge once shiny, bright, and new,

Now lies broken, bent, and blue,

A silver badge, now broken in two,

Just like the hearts, of his brothers and sisters in blue.

Rest in Peace, Steve. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Police work is already heroism. Policmen are risking their lives everyday. it is unimportant where-in USA or Russia. The next hero perished and so, unfortunately it will be always... He gave his life, for people lived quietly... He will be never forgotten..

I've served on the National Board of the FOP with Steve for the last eight years. Being from neighboring states, we became good friends. The world has lost one of the most genuinely honest and caring men that I have ever known.

Rest in Peace, my brother. You will be truly missed.
