Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Virginia State Police. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

Our prayers to Trooper Smith's family at their loss. May GOD comfort them through this difficult time. Trooper Smith loss showed his feeling for his brother Officers and Troopers was first in his heart as he showed by trying so hard to assist the other Trooper. GOD bless his family and take away any bad memories of his loss and replace them with memories of the good times they shared together.

Rest in Trooper Nathan-Michael Smith, both you and your family will always remain in our prayers. We saw you working tirelessly to make society a better place that was no to be. With tearful eyes we saw God take you to His loving home. Although you worked tirelessly society remains headed in an ever delinquent way. Thus, God made your golden loving heart stop beating and hard working body rest. God broke our hearts to prove to both society and to us, he only takes the best.
