I still remember the day Lonnie was killed. When I heard the new I felt like I heart was torn out of me. I was devastated. I used to see, and talk to him when he was still working in patrol. He was a proud, and dedicated deputy. And he was built like an ox! He is true hero, and I will remember, and honor him the remainder of my life. God bless you Lonnie, and rest in peace my friend.

LONNY, YOU ARE MISSED AND THOUGHT OF SO OFTEN. I DROVE US BOTH BACK AND FORTH TO THE ACADEMY FIVE DAYS A WEEK. YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND THEN. I KNOW YOU'RE IN HEAVEN BECAUSE YOU WERE SUCH A GOOD PERSON AND YOU TRULY DIDN'T DESERVE TO DIE AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE. AS A RESULT OF MY WORK IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, I LOST MY DAUGHTER DURING A HOME INVASION. I THINK OF YOU BOTH AS LOOKING DOWN ON US AND HOPING THAT WE WILL ALL JOIN YOU SOMEDAY IN A PLACE WHERE WE WILL NEVER HAVE PHYSICAL OR EMOTIONAL PAIN AGAIN. I NEVER MET CATHY BUT I PRAY THAT SHE WILL ALWAYS HAVE HOPE TO REJOIN YOU SOMEDAY. UNTIL THEN..YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN..YOU GAVE IT ALL FOR US. NOA SCOTT

It's been 19 years since we lost Lonny. Family and friend.
It seems like yesterday when we got the call about Lonny. It's like knowing exactly where you were when President Kennedy died.
Still in disbelief we remember our precious, sweet, gently cousin Lonny.
My husband can tell you quiet a few antics they pulled together growing up! Dare deviling stunts with their dirt bikes plowing over cliffs to name one of their favorite past times. Lonny and his brother Jay were my husbands closest cousins.
We will always think on these good times and family times.
Cathy, we're sorry we didn't get a chance to get to know you better! We knew you were special because Lonny picked you. I pray the Lord be with you everyday and night to be your comfort. God bless you. You're in our thoughts and prayers.

Lonny you were our friend and co-worker. I remember you coming by our house to lift weights with Jody, both of you pushing to keep fit. Cathy, I worked with you at Las Colinas and competed with and against you in the California Police Olympics. Those were good times. I remember the day when Lonny became an angel. It all seemed surreal. He was killed in my home town. It seems like it was yesterday although it was 28 years ago. Cathy, I know you miss him and that ache and sorrow will never go away. Know that I will never forget either one of you. Every door I knock on reminds me of Lonny's sacrifice. I have been fortunate to continue working in Law Enforcement for 37+ years and owe my safety to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Never Forget!

I will always hold a special place in my heart for Lonny. He was my first love, high school sweetheart, and first husband. He and I shared so many special times together. They say your first love is special, and I know that it was for us. He was such a good friend and person. I know he is truly missed and will be always in our hearts. I also knew his best friend Gus Smith, and together we had a BLAST hanging out. Treasue your friends and loved ones always, as you never know when the good Lord is going to take them home.... :)

Sorry That I could not be there for you, I know that we had promise each other we would become Law Enforcement Officers, But something just did not work the way we had planned. I joined The military to get the proper training because I knew I would not be able to go to college. But I stayed in the Military 22 years to help out our country. And by not being family I missed the worst day of your life, I wish I could of been their at your funeral, to say my goodbye's, But believe me you are not forgotten

My Deepest Condolences to the Family Members, Of this Fallen but not forgotten Officer. My heart goes out to you all..

Lonnie in just a few days it will be 25 years since the day you gave everything in Escondido. I was working Santee that day. It is a day I will never forget. As your fellow Deputies in Santee were handling a crisis situation of our own we were aware of the events going on just a few miles up the road in Escondido. We prayed all of us would be safe and that each of us would come out ok. When we learned we had lost you, each of us died a little that day. Your loss was felt Department wide. You are not forgotten Lonnie. The pain of your loss is with each of us...even 25 years later. Look after us brother. We need all the angels we can get.

You served well, and with honor. Thank you for your sacrifice.

You will always be in our hearts!

On the 21st anniversary of Deputy Brewer's death, we honored his service in our patrol briefing by reading his entry from ODMP. Each day, we honor one fallen officer on the anniversary of their death so as to keep them in our thoughts, and also to remind us of the dangers inherent in our job. Deputy Brewer is not forgotten.
