Kirk was my classmate at Riverton high school. I remember him as a really nice guy. Was so sad to learn of his untimely death and after almost 30 years I've never forgotten him and what could have been. RIP Kirk. Will never forget you.
Henry.

Who could ever forget you? When we are fortunate in this "veil of tears" to cross paths, even for just a moment, with an outstanding young man, who would ever want to forget, no matter how much the remembering hurts? Amazing! After 20 years. But that was you, Kirk.
I console myself with these words of David: "But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I(We) shall go to him, but he will not return to me(us)." 2 Samuel 12: 23

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 18th anniversary year of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.
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.

I knew Kirk in high school. I met him through my cousin, she was on the rifle team with Kirk. We had wonderful times together when he would travel to Colorado, once, after my wedding to another, he asked my cousin why I didn't "wait for him". If he had only said something before... He was special, I traveled from AZ to WY just to see his beautiful habitat. It's Kirk through and through. I did love you.... I hope it's peaceful where you are...
