Reflections for Officer Garret Collin Davis
On another sleepless night, I remembered the fun memories we had in college. When I was in the academy many years later, you were still a source for my inspiration and to never give up. Thanks for the guidance. Rest easy Hero!

As we approach 7 years since you went to Heaven, I hope there is some sort of way you can see or know this. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, my friend. I hope it is peaceful and beautiful where you are. Thank you for being a great friend, always being there for others, and for sacrificing so much...you gave your all.
You will always be an inspiration in my life and know that you will never be forgotten.
I will remember you and miss you always.
Until we meet again, keep Heaven safe.

John 5:28, 29 - "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". 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.

Officer Garret Collin Davis will never be forgotten. As Lt. Ray Flores, Retired NYPD said in his reflection "This, unfortunately happens too often. People are not paying attention, incapacitated with drugs, booze, etc. and are hurting and killing our brothers and sisters." He's 100 percent correct in his assessment. My cousin whom I had the pleasure to grow up with in Brooklyn, NY, also died in the line of duty in 1986 while attempting to secure and investigate an accident scene in Queens, NY. He was a member of the Highway 3. May Garret's soul rest in Heaven, and May God bless Garret's son.

This, unfortunately happens too often. People are not paying attention, incapacitated with drugs, booze, etc. And are hurting and killing our brothers and sisters. Rest in Peace my brother, and may you watch out for your lovely daughter who will know that her daddy was a true hero.

It's been four years since you left us. I still think of you often. I remember looking forward to seeing your smiling face at work as I knew I'd have a good footman working with me that day. I'll never forget how panicked I was on the day of your final salute as I was running late, and how I looked up at you and asked for your help, and you helped me make it there on time! My son remembers meeting you when he was eight, he's twelve now, and whenever we pass your memorial on the freeway, he'll say "Hi uncle Garrett!" Thanks for continuing to lift me on my bad days. Miss you G-Money!

Garret lived next to us when he got into the police academy. He was so stoked about it. I knew he was happy and doing a job that he truly loved! Rest in peace, Officer Davis!

He is everything I want to be in a law enforcement officer. I will do everything I can to pick up where he left off and be the kind of person that he was. He will be forever missed. A great cop and even a better person, his legacy lives on forever.

He touched many lives with his generosity and patience. He was amazing to hangout with and seemed to truly care Thanks to him, I know about Coheed and Cambria and Saosin. He was sooo good to us girls at Club Electros, the perfect gentleman and protector. I feel so bad for his little daughter who he gave a phone to call him anytime and he meant it. He fell for a girl I knew. I remember the way his eyes lit up seeing her for the first time. It was love.

Though I never knew him, he was part of my Law Enforcement family and I will mourn this deep loss the rest of my life. My heart aches with all the losses we have suffered, and continue to suffer, through the years. God is our only peace through such incidents. May family & friends feel the presence of the "God of All Comfort" as they endure the distressing days ahead. I join them in their agonizing grief & remember them in my prayers.
Another senseless tragedy
Another day of grief,
Another day of praying
To help us find relief.
Relief from bitter anguish
Relief from rage so great,
Relief from lenient justice
Which continues to seal our fate.
Relief from heartache’s torment
As we continue on,
Oh, the awesome loss of brotherhood
Now that you are gone.
Though our hearts are deeply broken
And our tears forever flow,
There’s a comforting assurance
That now with God you go.
We know that you are welcome
Now at Heaven’s gate,
While meeting brothers & sisters
Who also met such fate.
The family of Law Enforcement
Knows no distance here or there,
And we recall in comfort
You await us there.

This is the first Police Week since you were taken from us. Our hearts are still heavy and we still think of you often. Tomorrow, we will march with our fellow brothers and sisters in blue, to honor you and the brothers that have gone before you.
Whenever I see a white car driving around Mililani, a part of me still hopes that I'll see you behind the wheel, smiling and waving at me. You will never be forgotten, my friend.

When I first heard the news, I ran to the window to check, I was reassured, my son was home and safe. But I also realized, that somewhere, another mother was hurting, and her son would not be coming home, not in that sense.
At your services, I studied the pictures, the video presentation. Every image, every video captured a wholesomely happy young man, from the hospital nursery, with your sister looking on, through the various stages of your life.
One thing was constant, in every one of those images, you were such a happy person. As I paid my respects I realized, you experienced a tremendous amount of joy in your life and it was reflected in every one of those images.
Though tragic, your loss may be, I wondered, how many people can truly reflect on such joy in their own lives, whether they lived twice as long or more. It is what we seek most and you found it, from day one. We hurt because we know the promise your future held.
It did not erase the pain, but it gave me peace, well done Garret, well done.
