Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

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.

Taylor Bristow was a damn good man. I only knew him briefly, but he always showed a kindness and humanity that is rare in all people. He didn't know me well, but when I helped him jump off his truck at the request of a friend, he held no qualms with inviting me into his home for something to eat and drink. His is a loss that leaves the world a little sadder, and a little less kind.

Thanks, Bristow.
I'll never forget you, man.
