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.

Corporal Daye, for many years, you dedicated your life to protecting others that they may be safe. It took a small virus to take your life. Our Lord, who sees all and knows all, will reward you abundantly for your courage, dedication and selfless service. My heart goes especially to your parents during their time of grief over the loss of their son. It is against the law of nature that parents outlive their children. May God immerse you and your loved ones in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

It is always a difficult thing to see a fellow officer pass away but it is even more painful when it is a fellow "Tar Heel." We pray that our Lord will grant unto you eternal rest and happiness with Him, and that He will grant unto your loved ones that Grace necessary to get them through this difficult time, as well as the knowledge that they will see you again in the at far off land where you are not 10-7 but merely 10-6. Rest well our Brother.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper
