Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Tony
I like Karen Cambell enjoyed the times we used to laugh and play while we were growing up. Even after so many years, It is still hard to look at your picture on this page. I am proud to have known you, if even for a short while. It was an honor to have known you. you were taken away from us to soon. May God grant you peace.

Wow Antonio. Hard to believe your picture is here. I have fond memories of us growing up--same schools, same neighorhood, same church. I am glad that our paths crossed at time when there was so much happiness in our lives, and I am glad that we experience together learning the value of public service. Thank you and others like you for making the ultimate sacrifice so the rest of us can be safe.

Dear Tony,

It seems like yesterday when I received the call saying that you were killed. My heart broke into a million pieces.

I remember all of the good times that we had together when you and Allegro came to Pittsburgh to visit grandma and granddad.

Well now grandma has joined you in heaven. I pray that all of you are together and watching over all of us.

I wish that my daughters and now my granddaughter would have known the wonderful, loving man that you were.

I think about you often and miss you so much!

Until we meet again my dear Tony, I pray that you are resting in peace.

Love always,
Lorita

Brother Kelsey,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue

~~~~~The Broken Chain~~~~~

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name.~~In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.~~It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.~~You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.~~Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the Chain will link again.

Rest in peace. I am grateful for Officer Kelsey's service and sacrifice for Prince George's County and Maryland. The war on drugs will never be over because heroes like him will never give up on our country and its citizens. His cold-blooded killer showed another example that drug offenders will do absolutely anything to whoever gets in their way.

I hope to be a police officer someday, and will always remember the fallen heroes of Maryland. God bless his family and friends.

I still remeber the night they called my father Tony's uncle to break the news to him. After giving the phone to my mother I heard her start to cry and then a news bulliten came across the screen that a PG County officer had been shot and killed while working part-time. I was around 13yrs at the time but because my father was a Sgt. on MPD I already had thoughts about being a cop and when this happened I knew then I had to pick up where Tony left off. So I join MPD on December 19, 1988 and became a D.C. Police Officer trying to be like my cousin Tony I still read the news paper clippings to this day asking my self why Tony.

I love you Tony I know your in a much better place my you continue to rest in peace.

Love

The world lost one of it's best. I happened to be away at the time of his death. I didnt find out until much later. I was crushed. The lost of Officer Kelsey is sad. He will be missed. I always knew he was destined to be a Leader and that he was, from his earlier days as a devout and loyal Boy Scout to his admission to one of the best High schools(Bishop McNamara). He was always a thoughtful and caring freind. Because he always remembered me, I will never forget you Antonio. Even till this very day, you are missed. May Heaven embrace you noble man.
