Shaft, It's hhard to believe a year has passed. I still remember your willingness to help out our agency, your firm handshake and broad smile and that trademark "Brooksy" that could be heard a mile away. You were the epitomy of a professional as a State Trooper and not a day goes by that I was lucky enough to have gotten to work beside you. God Bless you and your family as they continue to grieve you.

Sgt. J.D. Brooks
