At your service I heard this was not supposed to happen here. Unfortunately, too many of us have heard this before. I know you are smiling down on us from up above at the strength you installed in your family. This was demonstrated by your teenage daughters as they followed your casket in the procession. So proud of the courage they showed as they held out heart and love signs with their hands thanking the massive crowd showing support for them as they lined the streets. Prayers for your family, friends, community, and fellow officers. You sir are truly a hero by how your lived.

I was working Officer Patrick's funeral and was taken by surprise by how many officers from agencies as far away as Canada, and Pennsylvania attended to pay their respects to their brother that was gunned down for no reason. When I started the detail we were told that there was going to be around 1,000 officers attending the service. When the patrol squads started to arrive we realized that the 1,000 quickly turned into 4,000+. When the Patrick family arrived at the cemetery they were greeted warmly with salutes, tears, and hugs from many officers that were in attendance. I have done many funerals from military to law enforcement but by far this service was the biggest and well respected from all around the agencies that were in attendance. Officer Patrick you will be missed by your family, your Law Enforcement Family, and the community's you served. Prayers to your family and friends as we will never forget you. Rest In Peace. We have the watch.

I just wanted to share with you, that 24 people, men and woman, picked Mr Scott Patrick as an officer down that we will bring back up through his memory and story, because even tho fallen he will never be forgotten, as a tribute and as students here at FLETC we conducted a 2 hour intense OFFICER RESPONSE TACTICS (ORT) work out in his name, in his honor and the volume and amount of intensity that was put forth, was above and beyond the required standard, our voices traveled throughout the training area and nothing short of 150% sweat, blood, and tears to make sure that when we become officers we will continue to live on his legacy. to Mr Patrick's Family , friends , and colleagues we are deeply sorry for your loss. God bless you all and never loose sight, never loose hope, as a Marine veteran, i have served 3 tours in Iraq and 9 in Afghanistan, and i live to make a difference and so did the Marines that never made it home that i served with, as Former President Regan once said ..."sometimes people spend an entire life time trying to figure if they made a difference, the Marines don't have that problem" well i say this now a s a civilian and i stand strong behind it, i Believe we as protectors of this nation, protectors of our homes of our cities, our home towns and our families, those who make the sacrifice to leave home and kiss their loved ones good bye knowing that; that one day could be their last, we as a whole are the ones who make a difference. thank you for your service sir.
