I remeber taking my BAC class with him, I was saddened to learn he was killed on duty. He seemed like a great officer and it is a shame he is gone.

Looking around facebook tonight and decided to see if Brian's name would come up. It did. I can't believe it's been 12 years. I had the privelege of working with Brian during his time at Everett.

Thank You Brian for being the bright shining star that you were and are.. for watching over people.. for caring.. You will never be forgotten. Always in our hearts..

12 years ago today you were taken from us my friend. Yet still, your impact on the lives of your friends and loved ones remains, strong as ever. Our friends are safe and happy; we talk about you all of the time...those stories never get old.

Miss you brother, I'll pass your love along

Hollywood,
Yes my friend, I still call you Hollywood. You are a good man Brian and we all miss you. I don't miss getting spanked by you playing one on one in basketball, but would gladly take the loss everytime just to hang out with you again.
Those of us that knew you have always carried a huge empty space since you left. There is no way to fill that void nor are we even going to try. You were one of a kind young man.
You will always be missed.

Brian,

I still can't believe this ever happened. You are loved and missed by many. Jann is as beautiful as ever and misses you so much.

I tell people of "Brian" stories also, especially the one where the soft drink cans were tied to the bumper of that little truck you used to run around in. We did a complete investigation, never came up with any leads ;)

Peace to you my friend,

Your heroism and service is honored today, the eleventh 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 who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. I pray for the solace of all those who love and miss you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Rest In Peace.

brian,

the law enforcement world was shaken last week beyond belief. the four fallen lakewood officers served as a reminder to me of how fast you too were taken from us. i was honored to have served my time on the road with you and your crew while in everett. i admired and respected you, and how you represented your position as an officer. i have many memories of the times you assisted me willingly, always asking if i needed help. you were a born leader, and would have been a great supervisor.as i watched the memorial today, i felt honored to have served in your memorial 10 years ago, it will never be forgotten. my children, who are no young adults,still have memories of who you are and what you meant to our family. when your supervisor logged you out of service for the last time, i realized i never got to tell you thank you. your legacy will live on forever Brian so " thank you " you are not forgotten. 992/258

I am proud to have worked with Brian. I had the chance to speak with Brian only an hour before this traffic pursuit he was involved in. When I could not find Brian in the most obvious places, my heart sank. Words can never express the emptiness and helplessness that followed.

That was 10 years ago, but the memory is like it was yesterday. All of us in the business of law enforcement can relate to the difficult incidents we re-live in our memories.

I have often reflected on the motivation, ambition, energy, passion and love for the job that Brian demonstrated. I am sure Brian would have been promoted by this time in his career. He exuded all of the traits a good supervisor would be required to possess.

Thank you, Brian for the time we had together on our team. You have not been forgotten.

Hi Brian,

I have just spent the last hour reading all the wonderful things said about you and how you impacted many peoples lives in the most positive of ways. I currently am on the hiring list for the Everett Police Department, and pray everyday that I get my chance to be a part of this wonderful brotherhood. You have been such an inspiration to me and I can only hope to have the respect and admiration from so many people that you so rightly deserved. Thank you for all you did and the sacrifice that you made to keep our city safe. It would be an honor to wear the same uniform that you so proudly did yourself. Keep watching down on your fellow brothers and sisters, I know you are with each and everyone of them. God bless you and your family, and thank you.

Happy Birthday!
Here's the thing - even though you would have been 40 today, there's no doubt you'd still only look 25! One of your many gifts!

Has it really been ten years since your last birthday party? So many good friends, good times and great memories. I love to look at the picture of you and Tashi-dog every year at your birthday. It is a beautiful reminder of the passion, spirit and attitude that you brought to my heart and to my life.

Brian Michael - you are missed - but certainly still such an important part of so many lives - not the least of which is mine. I love you.

Dearest Brian,

Although I hadn't seen you since you were about 14, the time passing doesn't matter. You grew to be a splendid, fine man and an inspiration to many, including myself. Sweet cousin, I look to the stars most nights and now I know that not only do you shine there, you shine most brightly in the hearts of those who knew you and loved you.

My nephew has recently applied to the LAPD and I'm forwarding the link to your memorial to him in hopes that he, too, will find inspiration in all the good you did and the love you shared.

I know the pride your Mom and Grandmother had for you and my heart breaks for them knowing how much they loved you and miss you.

Your in my prayers and I'm proud to share your blood.

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

February was a big month for us, and I've been thinking of you more than usual. You continue to be an inspiration to me and I still find myself asking internally - "what would Brian do?" I know that you continue to watch over me and somehow you continue to help me understand and overcome life's hurdles - I feel as though I signed up for life's simple long distance run and somehow all the hurdles from the short track keep ending up in my path.

Your attitude and your heart are still a part of me and I rely on them daily to conquer challenges. You are an example I use with the kids at school to teach life lessons and in that way you are still making a difference through the police department.

You are forever with me.

My friend, your photo is still on the wall in my office. You were brave beyond belief and your zest for life was inspiring to all who met you. You lived your life more fully in the short time you were with us than most do in an entire lifetime. Rest in peace Brian. We miss you and still remember.

Hi Sweetie,

Just wanted to let you know that even though it is crystal clear that you were a star on earth, you now have your own personal star in the constellation Aquila, which shall henceforth be known by the name of "Brian Michael DiBucci. You are star #143 562 and, needless to say, one of the very brightest.(Imagine that)! Your constellation in the sky is visible all year long as is your presence in our hearts on this beloved planet earth. Brian, I miss you and I love you.
