Davey, I have tried to write this for several days and failed to complete it because I could not find the right words.

You meant so much to so many people in this community that the hole can never be filled. We always had our talks about doing it right the first time and I always admired how you pushed your guys to just do it the right way. Davey you are that guy...who always chose the high road no matter the subject you always chose to do what was right when it was not easy or popular. It was a distinct honor to call you Brother and to have served with you. Kerri and the girls do have a hero to be proud of.

The hole in our hearts is great but will heal with time.

It is with tears in my eyes that I salute you sir!

It brings me a great deal of sadness in my heart for a fallen brother. Although I've left this profession behind me now, i'll always love those who sacrafice their time and lives to better the tomarrow.
No one gives to a greater cause than the brothers and sisters who are willing to do whats required to protect us all. For his family I'll pray. Thank you is not enough. A place on a wall is not enough. I pray for you as well. You as well have sacraficed and are not forgotten.
He will never be gone in the hearts, of those who walked with him.

The policeman stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining. Just as brightly as his brass.
... "Step forward now, policeman. How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek? To My church have you been true?"
...
The policeman squared his shoulders and said,"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
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 awfully tough.
But I never took a penny, That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime When the bills got just 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 unmanly tears.
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 got 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 had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly, For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman, You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell."

Dave, I knew you for a long time and you were a good friend to all who knew you. Having known you and your family, you were not just a good friend but a great father and husband as is evidenced by you wife and children. May you be wrapped in the Lord's everlasting love and know peace now. Your departure has left not just a hole in the community but a void that may not ever be completely filled. Your kindness reached far and wide and definitely outside of our community. Your kind, caring and helpful soul touched people far and wide. I pray for you, your family and your many friends.
Rest in Peace, David.

Sergeant David Enbrenner,
It is with great sadness that I write these words today. I remember the day I hired you as an officer with the Atchison Police Department and I knew you would perform honorably for the Department, City of Atchison, and your family. I truly admired your work ethic, honesty, and friendship. Your service to community will never be forgotten. Your tragic death is something all of us in law enforcement know can happen but hope and pray that it never does. There will be a hole in my heart and the hearts of your fellow law enforcement officers that can never be repaired. God has another watch for you that He must have felt was more important and that is the only consolation I can find at this point. God be with you and thank you for your service. I pray for comfort and strength for your entire family. I offer my sincere condolences to Chief Mike Wilson and the entire Atchison Police Department on the loss of a fellow employee, friend, and a respected officer of the law. God Bless you David, I look forward to the day we meet again and I can personally thank you for your years of valued service.

Dave,
The community of Atchison will have a void left by your departure from this world. Beyond being a pillar off the police department, you were a fixture in the community. I very much enjoyed the time we spent coaching our daughters and I would want no one else other than you to be another male role model for them! God Bless You!

We the faith family of St. Mark's want to thank God for you dear officer David. Though your time on earth was short you will always remain in our hearts with love and gratitude. We are sad but we know we will meet you someday at His feet. Our hope is in our Lord and death can not separate us from the love of our Lord. We shall continue to pray for your family.
We also know you are right in time to celebrate Christmas in Heaven with our Lord singing carols with the angels and watching us from above. Thank you dear officer.
