On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Gordon died in the line of duty.

To the Best family, fellow officers, and all who call Gordon beloved ed, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Sgt Best gave to his community and the citizens of South Carolina and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on January 1, 2021

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

Gordon,
We were academy roommates and very close friends. I am devastated that you are no longer with us. I know you are in a better place. I love you and miss you my biggest regret is not picking up the phone and catching up with you throughout the years. I will pray for your family and do all I can to support them. Rest In Peace my brother I’ve never grieved this hard..
