Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Trevor,
My son Ben has started with Wausau PD. Only you know the joy in my heart he has chosen this career path but also the fear that lives there too. As he puts on his uniform with your blue ribbon tattooed over his heart, please stand by his side and protect him for me. Be his guarding angel and walk the beat with him step for step. You are still my hero and no one can take that from me. Love you chuckles

How to feel? Were to turn? All these years and still the hurt! You told me to be strong to find happiness. I tried so hard Trev but I keep failing. You were my flashlight in the dark my rock. I need you to help me be strong but your not here. Taken from me in the blink of an eye. I never got to say goodbye!! I never got to tell you that I love you and you made me whole. I miss you with every breath I take.

Trev,
God do I miss you! I wish heaven had a phone because I know you would tell me to be strong! Truth is babe you were my strength..
You are my love, my soul mate and my hero.
I hate the memories of that night! The nightmares.. they hurt my head and my heart..

I look to the heavens and pray you hear me.

I love you and miss us

20 years come and gone! Not for me! Today the accident in my head. PTSD. I live with this memory some days good and some days bad. Yes our lives move on but what remains engraved in our minds and hearts does not change. Trevor I pray you are riding horses and team roping all your days with no pain! I'm so sorry! I still blame myself for not seeing her coming up behind us and telling you not to get out of the patrol car.
Please know you are missed and loved by many. Take care of Gizmo and watch the Brewers with my dad!

Trev,
I heard your voice today. I felt your touch. I held you along side the road as you took your last breath. I do this everyday as I cant get the accident out of my head.

I miss you more than anyone knows. I suffer in silence.

Baby I have not forgotten.

You are still the love of my life.

Trevor,
We just conducted a very successful "Every 15 Minutes" program at the BVHS, a program designed to teach students about the dangers of drinking and driving. At the assembly associated with this program, Chief Tidwell and Trooper Boccaccio spoke about your sacrifice. All these years later, you are still, and always will be, remembered as a hero. You serve as an example to us all. When you fell, the citizens of Buena Vista lost one of their finest. We will remember your family in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you for your sacrifice, and rest in peace, our brother. We now have the watch.

Rest in Peace, Patrolman Staszak. Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Today is July 19th, 2011 and it seemes like just yesterday we were watching Mike Tyson bite ears off on the paper view fight that Kelly ordered. Words just cant explain how much I miss you Trev, you were my inspiration. I am now a few weeks from being off of F.T.O, and everyday I drive by your sign on Hwy 285 Mile Marker 147. I will never forget you. Gone but not forgot. Tell the angels I said hello...

Officer Staszak,

As National Police Officer Appreciation Week draws to an end please know that you are always remembered. It doesn't seem fair that cops only get one week a year to be recognized. Keep watch over others.

Trevor,
I think about you often. I am proud to say I was a part of your life. I am now law enforcement my self. Our son would be 19 now (come May 1st). I hope you two are together. Please tell him I love him.

Big Brother,

I cannot begin to tell you how much I miss you. You have two beautiful nieces, and it pains me that you will never get to meet them. Shayne is four years old now (and looks a lot like you), and Finley will be two next month. Shayne knows that Uncle Trevor is a police officer, and she asks where you live. When I tell her that you live in heaven with Jesus, she usually responds that she wants to call you. Trev, that moves me to tears everytime.

I love you so much and so do the Girls!

Patrolman Staszak - Thanks for your service to both the people of Buena Vista and the State of Colorado. I stood in the State Assembly chambers, last Friday, when your name was read off during a resolution regarding the upcoming Peace Officer's memorial week. Next May we will wear mourning bands on our badges in your honor. You and the others are not forgotten.

May God grant you eternal rest and may His perpetual light shine upon you.

Thirteen years ago today my loving Trevor was taken from me within a blink of an eye. Time has not healed the hole in my soul or the hurt in my heart. There still is not a day that goes by I do not think of you or the horrible death you suffered. Each week I go to church and feel closer to you and know you hear my prayers and see the faith and love I have for our maker and your heavenly father. For one day I will cross over the rainbow and see your smiling face again. I miss you more with each passing day. Take care of our Gizmo and tell her mommy loves her too!

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 13th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

To your loved ones: I know the hurt of losing a beloved never goes away...the pain and pride are forever. I pray for your solace.

Rest In Peace

Trevor,

I was reading through various other reflections and saw this. I thought you, your friends and family, and fellow officers may like it. I do not know the author but it seems to fit every law enforecement officer.

"An Angel in the sky must leave his place of rest,
Gently tucking his wings beneath his armored vest.
For Duty has called, there is much work to do
Little did he know, this one is dressed in blue.

Arriving on the scene, he knows just what to say,
"Follow me, fallen brother, I'll show you the way."
"Your duty has ended, your work is now through."
"Come hang your hat beside mine, I'm a cop, too."

Rest in Peace.

Officer Staszak,

I was only in the fourth grade or so at the time of the incident but my father Steve was currently working for BVPD. I recently learned of this site and thought there was no way that BV would be mentioned on here. I thought it was only for the bigger metro areas. I am glad I was wrong. Although I was young at the time, what happened that night sent shock waves through our community that even a fourth grader could feel. I thank you for your years of service on the force in Buena Vista. I know that your hard work and dedication are what made a small town even closer. Your memory will never be forgotten.
