A good man was stolen from his family, friends , and community on that day. It has been an honor to have Hunter Reedy as a friend, and part of my family, and has been the upmost honor to serve with a true lawman. The sacrifices that this incredible man made for his family and community, even before this incident, are almost unfathomable. Love, that would be the best description that one could articulate. A simple word, commonly used, almost to the point that it waters down its meaning. Love, an intense deep affection or devotion. Hunter Reedy was, and still is, just exactly that definition. He loved his family, both immediate, and extended. His children are his world, and he was, and still is theirs. Unconditional love, no matter what challenges or hardship, there was nothing that he would not do for anyone, especially his family. If men are measured, it is a rare occasion to find a man such as Hunter. There will always be that void in many lives now. Although his children, family, friends, and community did not get to be with him as long as any of us had hoped, the impression Hunter has made is a lasting one. Its impressive really, that a man can accomplish what he did in such a short time. The biggest accomplishment was the impact Hunter made on those around him. He instilled so many good things in people, his children, and his community. Any person should consider themselves blessed to have known Hunter, his love was, and still is, abundant and unconditional. It still is because a hero shall never be forgotten, and an impressive man made his mark on the world around him. I miss you, and love you a lot buddy. Thank you for coming into my family, my agency, and my life.

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.

"A Part of America Died" 
Somebody killed a policeman today,
and a part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect,
will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect that shot him will stand up in court,
with counsel demanding his rights.
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids,
and spend many long, lonely nights.
The beat that he walked was a battle field too,
just as if he'd gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
to his name they will add a gold star.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
in your town or mine.
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors,
a cop put his life on the line.
Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
and he stands at each new rookie's side.
He answered the call, of himself gave his all,
and a part of America died.
