Reflections for Patrolman Kevin Simmons

While a Police Officer in Midwest City which is next to Spencer I came in contact with Kevin on several occasions. I always liked and respected him and thought he was a good police officer doing a difficute job where back-up was scarce do to the size of his department.When Kevin was killed it was difficult for all that knew him in the police community. I was Honored to be part of his funeral in Oklahoma. At the time I was a motor officer and we in the law enforcement community were all honored to give Kevin his final respect. I've thought about Kevin often and still have his funeral announcement with the same picture on it. To Kevin rest in peace and to his family may God be with you and know that I will never forget him.

Kevin I am so proud to see that there is a page that honors you. we often think of you and the lost our family suffer after your death. we will always be proud of you and your accomplishments in life. I often reminded when I sad about our lost how many people get to do what they truly wanted to do and for you it was to be a Police Officer. In the words of Elbert Hubbard "Men are only as great as they are kind." You were always kind and compassionate with those around you. You will always have a special place in the hearts of your Oklahma Family not as a Cousin but as A Brother. Rest in peace my Brother. Love you, Brenda

Hey Kevin,

It is me again, you always told me I talk to much so here you go. Matter of fact I think you owe me $1.00 from when we were kids, You once paid me not to talk for a minute and I dont remember you giving me my money. Well i just receive copies of all the articles on your death and it took a couple of hours to get myself together but you know I am a soldier and I will be okay. I thank God for Diane here the the Chicago Memorial and Oklahoma Memorial as well for helping me with your information. Now I can say I may be able to sleep a little at night. It just seems like yesterday when we got the call, but its been 24 years if I am correct. I have to get ready for bed now, it is kind of late and I know that I am talking too much again. But this is not the end you will here from me again and I will keep you posted with EVERYTHING.

love ya Lisa,

hey bro, well you know i miss you so much. i sit and think sometime where my life would be if it wasn't for you. i remember when you told me to just hold on it was going to be okay and you were going to get me out of chicago and everything was going to be alright. just hold on. you know while i was holding on, our family got a terrible call saying that we had lost you, you know it just killed me to know that we had lost you but even through losing you, you still managed to keep every word that you had told me. you know bro, i miss you so much,but sometime i feel like you and levi and my dad are watching over me. i might not have the greatest life but you know it's okay. i named a son after you and man if you could see my oldest one, kenny you would be so proud and i wish i would have had one more son so i could have named him levi like my father and my brother. it seems like when you two left it took a big part away from our family and i only hope and pray that this web site would somehow find a way to bring this family closer. i love you bro and i will be dropping in from time to time and i hope you can hear everything i'm saying.

Hi Kevin,

This is Lisa, I see with a little work your badge number is now on your page. Things are coming slowly but we will work it out. I am really trying to get a good picture to put on your reflection. What do you think about the number 11 badge number. This is how I came up with the math, it is 10 of us, if you minus the 10 from the 11, you will get a 1. So I think that make you # 1 in our book. I will try my best to get your picture by the next week or two, I promise.

Love you so much,

Lisa

Hey Uncle Kevin~

I was two years old when you died, so i don't remember you. I've always wondered what it would have been like with all five of my uncles around. If you were anything like the others, it would have been just as great to have you around. The family just found out about this page so expect a few visits from time to time. I will keep you posted on what's going on down here although I know you can see us from Heaven. Continue to look over us and tell Uncle Levi I said Hi and I miss him dearly. Until next time, Paula

Good Morning Uncle,

Since finding out about this yesterday, I struggled with sleeping all night long. For the first time in 24 years, it feels like the first night that you left us. Biologically you were my uncle. But the way our lives were lived, it felt as though you were my big brother. I miss you but I know you are in good company with your dad, little brother, my brother, Dina and Christopher. It is my prayer that you are rejoicing in paradise.

Loving you forever,

Marci

I was thinking about you today at worked and thought to google your name. I had no idea that your tragic story would be available for the world to see. When I reflect on the night that we received the frantic telephone call that you had been injured, instantly we all hope the you only had a flesh wound. Never did we image that your injuries would have been to the extent that you would leave us. The painful memories of that evening still brings tears to my heart and my mind. I remember how happy momma was when you called her right before you went to work and expressed your love for her. She was so excited that her son the "police officer in Oklahoma" would be home for the holiday and his birthday. At that time, my momma was in the hospital as well. If you remember, anytime something wasn't right in the family, momma always had a nervous stomach. All that day (12/8) she kept saying something wasn't right. Naturally, we all thought it was more issues with my moms cancer. But know, her stomach was upset and her heart would later be grieve because you will be taken from us abruptly. Kevin, our family missed you so much and our hearts were heavy for many years because we couldn't touch you, feel you and above all you never got a chance to reproduce for us to love on them. But now you are in good company. Know that your neice grew into a wonderful woman and think all of your tough love and tough help me to get here. Michelle and my mom are ok as well.

Forever, always, you will missed and love,

Marci

Hey Kevin,

Miss you so much, I was thinking about the time when we were kids and you cut my long pretty braids. I was so mad at you for that, but you knew I was going to get you and you was scared to go to sleep that night. You gave a good sacrifice for Spencer and we miss you so much. I last time I seen you I was mad when you left than and you kiss me goodbye and told me you love me. I cant take back me not retuning the kiss but I wish that you were here for me to kiss you and tell you that I love you as well.

Patrolman Simmons,
On today, the 23rd anniversary of your murder, I would like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Spencer. At least your murderer died in Prison and never to got walk as a free man.
