Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Lord Jesus, I thank you for granting me my life-long dream of becoming a Pennsylvania State Trooper which started with Grandpa Toby, who I did not know. I heard the stories of the man and father he was and the protector he strove to be. Thank you for letting me know my dad for the eight-years of my life we spent together. He was my earthly hero. I felt the love he gave me and our family and how he sacrificed for us. Thank you for letting me see his example of care and love for others while he performed his job as a police officer, but mostly for the loving human being he was. You know his example is what placed the desire in my heart to become a police officer. Lord, You are the only One who knows my heart and I pray that I performed my duties according to your will. I pray for my country, that the divisions cease and that people begin to see what we have in common. I pray for Your peacemakers Lord, the Godly police officers who are trying to do your will daily. Protect them from the constant assault of evil and help keep them pure and focused on You. I love you Lord and I am humbled by all the blessings You have given me in my life. Jesus, You are my Lord, my Savior and my Hero.

Grandpa Toby,
You were killed in the line of duty when your son (my Dad) was just 16 years old. Your death changed his life in a profound way, inspiring him to become a military man like you, serving overseas during WWII, then joining the Pittsburgh Police Department. Dad ultimately became a detective, but sadly, like you, his life was cut short in his 40s — not by an assailant but by cancer. My Mom was left to raise five kids on her own. My younger brother was only 8 when our Dad died. He grew into a fine, honest, hard-working young man, just like our Dad, and graduated with a degree in Criminology. He became a Pennsylvania State Trooper, and is set to retire next year. And it all started with you, Grandpa Toby.

Toby Brown was my grandfather. He died long before I was born. My late mother passed his badge down to me. His badge number was 867. I wish I could have met him. He was a giant of a man with an enormous sense of humor. I have heard many stories about practical jokes that he pulled. His son the late Fred Brown was a Pittsburgh police officer like his father. One of his grandsons is a Pennsylvania State Trooper and a great grandson is a Denver police officer.
