My Father Former SFPD Officer
Richard Abbey told me he was working that day Sgt Beverly and his partner were shot. My father told me he and his partner responded and were flagged down by a citizen who gave them information on the suspects location. My dad and his partner responded to the suspects apartment and broke down the door went into the room and apprehended the suspect who was laying down on the bed with the rifle right next to him. My father told me the suspect told him and his partner he would have shot them both if he knew they were coming.

God Bless Sgt. Beverly & Family You Will Never Be Forgotten. Rest In Peace.

Judi and Katie,
We were close family friends with you all as kids. Your dad and my dad were best buddies. My brother Steve, you two and myself used to play together. I remember our camping trips to Lake Berryesa to go boating.
It has been 50 years and your dad and your family is often remembered by ours. By the grace of God, Both my parents are still living.
I hope and pray that life has been good to you. If you ever want to reach out, daveCR500 on all major email platforms.

Sgt. Beverly,
On today, the 50th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the USMC. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I attended grammar school with Code Beverly and was unaware that he was killed in the line-of-duty until I was conducting a Life Parole Consideration Hearing at Folsom Prison in the late 1990's. Sergeant Beverly's sister had traveled from the midwest to oppose the inmate's parole. I was saddened as I saw her having to relive the details of the homicide. I know she will not need to attend any more parole hearings because the inmate did in fact serve life in prison and died in 2001.

My heart is always stirred when a fellow-officer is killed in the line-of-duty and Sergeant Beverly's death is more reflective because I knew him. I also offer my sympathies to his sister who faithfully did her part to see that justice was done for her brother.

May God be with every one of us who have loved, and lost. Katie and Judi, you are extraordinarily special and beautiful, - may God's love and spirit be with you and every one of yours, - including Dad (Code) and Mom (Ruth) forever and ever. I love you both. Cassie

After all these years, I couldn't believe it when I saw Code's name during an internet search. I was only 11 yrs old when Code was shot & killed. His sister was a very close family friend of ours and still is to this day. All I can say is that he is missed by many and Code paid the ultimate price for protecting our community. Thank you Code for your service both as a Police Officer and and a USMC Soldier.

May God continue to bless you & keep you in His care.
Much Respect,

Dear Judi & Katie, Words could never express the depth of feelings I have for your Dad.It is a rare day that so many wonderful aspects of Code do not come to mind & lately I cry more often knowing how hard it has been for you both & for all the families of police officers continuously living with dreaded fear of their loved one's safety. Mostly what so impresses of your Dad is the absolute unmitigated devotion he had for you both, his beloved daughters.
Your loving aunt, Codette

(Code, Ruth) Judi, and Katie, for some reason I googled your dad's name today. I had been thinking of those childhood days in Pacifica and what an impact that day had in my five year old life as the close neighbor of the Beverly's and a daughter myself of a fellow San Francisco Police Officer, your dad's friend. Our families stayed close for a long time and we were able to see all of our live unfold for many years after. The heavy weight of the loss is always there as is the strength of the love that, even as young as I was, I witnessed between your family which extended to friends. Code and Ruth, you are missed. Judi and Katie- you will always be family. I know your parents are watching over you both as well as the grandchildren and great grandchildren with a proud luminating smile.

Code, yours was the first of many funerals and memorials that I attended as a police officer. Here we are in 2013 and I remember you as if it were yesterday. I'm sorry that I never met you, but at the time we lost you I felt that I had lost a friend. And now you rest in peace. You and I will meet some day. To your family, I am sorry for their loss.

Oh Code, I can't believe it has been 41 years. I think of all the memories our family has been cheated out of. When I look at your picture you look so young. It makes me so sad. We have all missed you, particularly your sweet daughters. Please see if you can bring them comfort as the anniversary of your death is tomorrow. I wish we all had more time with you. Know that you are loved and missed sweet brother. With love.

I recently celebrated a milestone birthday of "50". While reflecting back on some childhood memories, I recall a man who lived just down the street from me. His two young daughters were friends of mine. He was handsome, clean cut and I enjoyed talking with him. I can still picture how white and crisp his t-shirts were when he was doing stuff around his home. That man's name was Code Beverly Jr.

Code, I thank you for your service and want you to know that you are not forgotten. It's been a very long time since I've seen Judi and Katie. I know they have grown up to be wonderful women and have made you proud.

Rest in Peace.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 40th 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.

Time never diminishes respect, and your memory will always be honored and revered. .

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain an pride are forever. I hold your family in my heart's embrace today. Katie and Judi, thanks for sharing a daugher's devotion I hope to meet you both and your families at a NORCAL COPS function one day.

Rest In Peace

Officer Beverlys mdaughters. I was your neighbor just out of Riordan H.S. when you lost your dad. We lived on Hearst Ave. in S.F. two doors down from you. I remember your dads dog Eric I think was his name. I also remember you girls and your Mom and Dad. They were nice people and never got mad at us when the ball would go in the backyard when we played in the alley. Hope you are well and just wanted to know I remember your Dad and you guys.

God bless, Marty Hackett
