Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

BB,

It’s crazy how much I trusted when you were SWT and I was a hostage negotiator. Always felt safe doing my job when you and your team was there so I could do mine.

Who would have guessed that so many years later my daughter Jamie Lee Tang would fall in love with your son, Maui Bryant Bayne. Although you and Jamie’s dad, Officer Charles “Chaz” Tang, Jr. are both passed, they live on in your honor with two beautiful grandchildren, Baby Maui Bayne and Beautiful baby Kauai Bayne. Your memory will never be forgotten. Your service to the community and love for your children lives on everyday. We wish you were here but know you and Chaz are looking down and still protecting them.

Hi Daddy,

I miss you extra this year and it made July particularly rough. You have 6 grandchildren now (2 from each of your 3 kids) and we make sure they’re growing up hearing about you. My brother, sister and I allowed the world to get in between us and we don’t really talk anymore. I dont talk to any of your family at all. Mom’s had it extra rough this year and could use some extra “dream visits” for your biggest hug.

We miss you every day as if 25 years was yesterday. We remember and honor how much you loved your job and helping people but some days we wish you were here to help us more. I hope people remember in times like now, when good officers are being taken for granted, that their sacrifice isn’t paid on the day their watch ends. It’s paid every day with the lives of their families they leave behind. These fallen officers cared for you, a stranger, that much that they believed you were worth saving and the risk of missing everything with their family.
Honor it.

We love you daddy.

Aloha cousin, we've never met,sadly. We share blood and a last name though. The Byane/Hazzard Ohana are gathered here for our Grandmother's funeral. She passed at 98 yrs old. We've been talking about all of the family that passed before her and wish everyone love and peace. Mahalo for serving others, it is a privilege to share blood with you.

Hi Daddy,

Its been a very long time since you've been gone. The pain is still there but its not as hard now. You have four grandchildren now, 2 of which are mine and they are awesome! Your granddaughter takes pics just like you with her tongue hanging out and goofy faces in every one. You'd be proud of my brother and sister. Maui is a very sweet loving respectful man that reminds a lot of people of you. Tiffany is a loving mom now too. We miss you a lot and I like to come on here and see the updates from people that miss you too. We will never forget you! 222

To my "bestest friend" in the world you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday!

I visited the memorial in DC this year and it brought peace and tears as if 17 years had never passed.

You are truly one of a kind and will remain my "bestest friend" FOREVER!!!

BB - Just dropping in again to let you know that you and Tate are still remembered and will never be forgotten.

We just lost another good brother today. His name is Chad Morimoto from Solo Bikes.

I knew him when I was in Traffic. He was always smiling and easy to talk with - no matter if it was just "small talk". Always upbeat and cheerful, He was the kinda' person that seemed to make you feel better than you were feeling just before you ran into him. Hmmm,... reminds me of two other good brothers I had the priviledge of knowing.

....and I will miss him too.

Hey BB (the original),

I came upon this sight as a result of the HPD Facebook. Just wanted to share with you a few thoughts.

You were THE BEST 3rd Baseman to ever play for SSD - hands down! I was honored to be your back-up. Thanks to the contributions of you and Tate, SSD won the SHOPO State Softball Tournament for many, many years (in a row).

Every year, to this day, and I have no doubt I'll feel the same always, during Police Week when the news shows you and Tate going up in the basket - smiling and giving those "Shakas" - I cry .....

You are missed - but never forgotten !!! Thank you for all of the great memories...

Wassup BB!

Just wanted to drop in and let you know that you are always remembered and missed, even after all these years.

I will be having a cold one tonight in your memory on this anniversary and ask that you continue to watch over and keep us safe.

Until we meet again my brother, keep the beer and poke on ice.

A hui hou!

Bryant; I am sorry that I never got the chance to meet you in person and was very sad to hear of your passing. Evidently the Lord had other plans for you.
My deepest sympathy for your Mom, sisters, your wife and children. May you rest in peace.

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

You're still in my thoughts, Cuz.
You were a great person, through and through, and am sorely missed by your Ohana, still.
I am proud to have called you "My Classmate", "My Brother in Blue" and, of course, "My Blood".
May your legend live on!

Until we meet again...

Bryant, I remember your kindness to me while in the 91st Recruit Class. Feeling a little uncomfortable as a Haole boy from the Mainland, you were the first local boy in the class to make me feel welcome. God Bless You. You are missed and appreciated.

--"If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded." -- Maya Angelou

Aloha e Officer Bryant Brennon Bayne,
Thank you for your service and dedication to your community and your country. You and all officers that continue to lay your lives on the line and pay the ultimate sacrifice to keep our communities and country safe, will NEVER be forgotten.

I personally pledge, (after one of Hawaii's own, Honolulu Police Officer Steve Favela, lost his life in the line of duty protecting our Commander in Chief, President George W. Bush), to become a continuum; a keeper of the ODMP light. That light is in the form of an ODMP tribute. People from all walks of life, regardless of age, race, religion, profession, education, and geographical location can share here.

This "LIGHT" comes from within the heart and soul of every person who cares to share a word or two on behalf of each and every fallen officer. Every fallen officer is a hero. The ODMP; Officer Down Memorial Page, gives us a place to come together and share our feelings as one family; one `Ohana. May we find solace as we give solace to the families who have lost a loved one.

Officer Bryant Brennon Bayne, God Bless you. You are a hero. You are`Ohana. Hawai`i embraces you as one of their own. No one will ever be able to replace you for you were unique and very special. No one; not in this lifetime. May God allow you to rest in His Divine peace. I wish you, your loved ones, and your fellow officers, peace and love beyond all understanding. I HONOR you today for you HAVE NOT been forgotten.

** May this Hawaiian prayer give all those who read it comfort. **

THE PEACE OF " I "
KA MALUHIA O KA "I"

Peace be with you, All My Peace,
O ka Maluhia no me oe, Ku'u Maluhia a pau loa,

The Peace that is " I ", the Peace that is "I am".
Ka Maluhia o ka "I", owau no ka Maluhia,

The Peace for always, now and forever and evermore.
Ka Maluhia no na wa a pau, no ke'ia wa a mau a mau loa aku.

My Peace " I " give to you, My Peace " I " leave with you,
Ha'awi aku wau I ku'u Maluhia ia oe, waiho aku wau I ku'u Maluhia me oe,

Not the world's Peace, but, only My Peace,
The Peace of " I ".

A'ole ka Maluhia o ke ao aka, ka'u Maluhia wale no,
Ka Maluhia o ka "I".

BB,
You are so missed and loved, for all that you did as a man, a husband, a father and an officer of the Honolulu Police Department. You can look down on all of us and know that you gave so much of yourself and expected nothing in return. Thank you for your memories. You really was an officer we were all proud of!
