Officer Down Memorial Page

Dirk,

Well its been almost eights years ago since your number was called. I look at your picture everyday when I go to work. You remind me each day to be good to my family and friends. You also remind me to be good to all who need our help, whether friend or foe. When young officers ask me who you are when they see your picture in my office, I say is he was one of the nicest and hardest working deputies I have ever met. There is no doubt in my mind that where ever you are, you are still trying to help someone. I remember picking you up for night shift and you having to bring three bags with you. I remember kidding with asking if you were moving out. I also remember you always smiling no matter what was happening. I often tell young officers about the fight you and I had with a suspect down in Oak Island, Texas....remembering that house was not in the same condition from when we arrived. Boy I was glad you were with me on that day..... Thanks for being a good friend and partner.
