I remember when the supervisors in the academy mustered us up to discuss your passing. I also remember attending your funeral on eastern LI in the sea of blue in my gray uniform.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice. Prayers to your family Sir.

To the family and friends of Detective Brian Simonsen, his fellow officers , and most especially to Brian:

We honor your service to your community as a police officer and you will always be remembered and revered. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of our entire family, I wish to extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Brian was tragically killed in the line of duty. It is obvious he was well-loved by many and well-respected by his peers and officers as reflected in the loving reflections left for him.

May his loved ones continued to be supported by their law enforcement family and other police survivors. Our family grieves with you and for you. To Brian's family, you are in my heart's embrace today.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the many years of distinguished service Brian gave to his community and the citizens of New York, and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 12, 2019

It’s been 22 months since I lost my husband. The day he died, a huge part of me died along side him. All I want is that his sacrifice never be forgotten. Brian was the most giving soul one could ever know. I was the luckiest girl for him to have chose me. I will forever carry his heart within my heart ♥️

Sir, you will never ever be forgotten.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray Psalm 91 over all LEO’s and this prayer also:

“Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

I know that God sends those angels to watch over our officers, sometimes to protect them and sometimes to whisk our officers into His presence.

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

I have lifted your family to God every morning for over nine years. I pray that Brian's life and death will bring glory to His name.

Trust those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.

Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.
