As a young cadet in Class 147 I rode with you on my last patrol ride before graduation. After graduation and while fairly new at Men's Central Jail I was assigned to the Jail Ward to guard the juvenile who was involved in the shooting that took your life. My emotions were truly tested as I held back a rage of anger toward this person. Your memory and life will remain with me forever, you will never be forgotten.

Rest in Peace.
