Coy Sr. was my great grandfather. While I never was able to meet him, his name lives on through both of my two son's middle names. As well as his grandson(my dad), great nephew, and his great grandson.

I hope he knows he left a mark of all of us. He will forever be missed, but never forgotten.

Rest in Peace Officer Coy Carter Vandiver Sr. Thank You for your Service and Sacrifice.

I Pray for Peace for your Family, Friends and Co-Workers. I also Pray that the hounds of hell forever gnaw at the flesh of the suspect who resisted arrest and caused your death!

Patrolman Vandiver,

I never knew you, but I've heard about you all my life. In a way I am named after you. I was named after your son Coy Carter Vandiver, Jr., my mother's half brother.

Thank you for your service and a name to be proud of and it still lives on through my son.

our heroism and service is honored today, the 90th anniversary year 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 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.

Rest In Peace.

I worked for the same department that you did, many years later. I know the loneliness of that highway. Your service to this city will not be forgotten. May you rest in peace knowing that there are still men and women doing "the job" with pride and courage. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
