Officer Down Memorial Page

A very great man that died too young and by scum of this earth that should die in prison. Dennis had talked to the Sheriff and I was supposed to be a ride along with him that very next day. I only wish I had been there that night and I also wish that Dennis hadn't of been running a temperature and not took his vest off to cool down. THERE IS NO REASON FOR PAROLE FOR COP KILLERS, and his daughter has been there to make that voice heard. I wish I could help her the next time he is up. Contact me if I can be of help.

Dennis, I was so much looking forward to being your "ride along". you knew I was going into law-enforcement and had talked to and cleared it with the Sheriff. I was on my way to my new job at Goldston's market and saw all the responding cars and knew I would get with you later and get the lowdown behind it. I locked up the store at 11 and stopped at rocky top and called dispatch to have you meet me there; Thats when she(the dispatcher) told me the horrible news. I felt a part of me die that still haven't never come back. Dennis you were such a great person and top notch Police Officer. I think of you every day.
My Dad came to me that night and said "well I guess this will make you rethink your career choice" and I only said; "I only wished I had been there with him"

My dad was one of his best friends, and was a pallbearer at his funeral. I was only 12 when he passed away, but I remember him well. He was a real good guy.

A "No parole" letter has been sent, so your cowardly killer remains locked up - and denied the pleasure of living in a world that you made safe for all of us.

Dennis... it has been so long but at times, it seems like yesterday. I will never forget the night I got the call from our office that you had been killed. I cried that night, just as I do today. You were more than a friend... to me and most everyone you knew. I remember looking at Christina, at your funeral, asking why God had to take you so young? All these years later I still ask that question and still do not know the answer. You had a quick smile for everyone and was the first to offer a helping hand. Roane County was blessed to have you and your loss has left a vacuum that will never be filled. I miss you, dear friend, and thank you for the ultimate sacrifice you paid... doing the job you loved so well!!! RIP, FRIEND!!! Always in my heart....

Christina,
I'm a police officer in Calhoun, Tennessee in McMinn County. I seen the parole alert on Facebook and I am sending a letter to the parole board asking them to deny him. I'm very sorry you lost your dad. I have also asked persons on my Facebook page to do he same. I'm very sorry for the loss of your dad. Maybe we can keep this guy in prison. It's the least we can do.
