Good Morning Trooper Smith,
It was 2-weeks ago when I got the chance to meet you on a field trip to the scales. You chatted with us for about 15 minutes, and by the time we left here's what I knew: you meant business, you took your job serious, you enjoyed your job, and you loved your family. I looked over your Facebook page and it's clear that your were liked and loved by many. You had a bright future ahead of you, and your untimely has really moved me. I'm only 2 years older, we both have young kids, married, and our colleges were a few miles ago (I went to ODU). May that Blue Blood continue to flow through your veins.
Prayers to the Smith family.

What could have and should have been a brilliant career has been cut short, but more tragic is that your family has lost you. So long as those who know and love you best keep you in their hearts and minds, you'll never truly be gone and I know you will watch over them always.
God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.
