Officer Down Memorial Page

Sergeant Kight, it is hard to believe it has been nearly 12 years since the tragic day. I had the pleasure of meeting you through your Corproal Darrell Goodwin once. At the time I was a Patrolman with Crestview Police Department along with your Corporal Goodwin's brother Kelby. When we heard of the tragic events the night of your passing, we made sure the entire Crestview Police Department with the exception of who was on-duty came to pay our respects. It was an honor then and still is to this date. I remember your final ride, it was raining so hard that you could barely see the hood of your car and the ditches were filled with citizens holding signs, honoring you. The stood knee deep in water and refused to move with lightning striking around them. As much as I would like to see you resting in peace, I think it is only appropriate that we keep on remembering you. I want to thank you again for the job you done and for paying the ultimate sacrifice to keep citizens safe. It has always been said that we don't do this job for money but for the love. So please know that you will never be forgotten not as long as there are true cops who believe in honoring you.
