Matt, I will always value your smile and attitude when working. You made us all laugh when it was needed most. You skills at the academy were invaluable and you made those long days go by quicker. You truly were one of the good guys who cared about all of us! There is not an officer here that hasn't received some training from you and you took good care of us during those long in-service days.
You will be missed!!

The Colorado State Lodge Fraternal Order of Police extends its heartfelt sorrow over the tragic loss of Officer Matt Tyner. Our prayers are with him, his family, and you, our brothers and sisters in blue during this difficult time. Officer Tyner is the third Colorado Officer to die in the line of duty this year in Colorado.

As you remember your fallen brother, take comfort in recalling that he dedicated his life to the same principles of honor, duty and courage that brought each of you to the badge. Such a life is truly rich. Take strength in knowing that when an officer falls, our resolve to serve those in need is not diminished. Our dedication to protecting those in danger is not weakened. Our commitment to remembering those with whom we shared the badge does not fade. May he rest in peace.

ITS SOUNDS LIKE THUNDER FAR AWAY...

It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright...
And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.
They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast...
They look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past.

Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one...
From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun.
And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them by...
And young ones ask their parents, why the men have mirrors for eyes.

They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you...
They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few.
Like men of steel, on Silver Wings, they sparkle in the light...
then with a roar and rumble, they ride out of our sight.

Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again...
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side, they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound...
And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.

So if you see one riding, and you look into his face...
You see your reflection in his eyes, you know that you are safe.
For motormen are a special breed, they love to ride the wind...
And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen ones ride again.
