Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

This man was married to my great aunt Amy Jean Pettiford Wilson. I remember hearing the story of his death in the line of duty I just didn't know all of the circumstances.

My heart goes out to this man who was so dedicated that he was willing to question criminals while off-duty. His dedication cost him his life. That is to die with honor and dignity. A fallen hero. May he forever rest in peace for he paid the ultimate price.
