Well buddy, I just left work and was thinking about you. They are all good thoughts. It is kind of lonesome there in the office at night sometimes, then I see you face on that big photo in the hallway. It brings a smile to my face when I see it. I miss ya Kurt :(

Deputy Wyman,
It is with sadness that I remember when you were killed. My heart ached for your wife and soon-to-be born daughter. I was worried about your friends and coworkers.
I have shared some emails with your brave and noble partner Deputy Chrysler. I know how very much he misses you. I know he carries pain but he is so very proud of you. I picture him beaming with a bright smile when he talks about you. Please remind him he did all he could.
Your service in the Corps and as a Deputy is a sacred service you gave. Something took you too soon from us. Evil took you too soon. My prayer is that you, God and our fallen Heroes walking Heaven's beat (including my dad) watch over your family, Deputy Chrysler and all who miss you.
I can't wait to meet you one day... I've heard such good things about you.
Thank you Sir for your sacrifice trying to keep others safe.

Hi Kurt. The one year reflection I left must not have gone through, so please know that you were in my heart that day and I was thinking of you like I always do. I know you have met Deputy Bellar, and are taking good care of him. Just wanted to say hi and ask that you don't be mad at me for telling friends and remembering some of the stories and adventures that we had during FTO. I miss you. I wish I could have done more that night. I know it was out of my control, but I feel like I let you down. Thanks for your forgiveness and Just keep smiling because that is what is keeping me going!

It is difficult for me to comprehend how to designate the anniversary of a tragic situation..Through somewhat strange yet oddly timed circumstances, I became aware of the story of Deputy Wyman on this the 1 year anniversary of losing him and I just wanted to wish the family comfort on this day.

I sit hear pondering what to say...and I really dont know how to limit this to a short essay. I know you were in the court room today, since you gave us the "signal." Although you didnt need to do that because I could feel you there anyway. As we all did. I know that you are aware that your killer received life in prison without any possibility of parole, and two more sentences of 40 years to life for attempting to kill our brotheren, but yet, none of that made the tears go away. I held it together good until I got home. Then I turned in to a puddle. But again, you helped pick me back up........Im so proud of your wife, your mom and dad, your grandparents and the rest of your family, and I'm poud of our law enforcement and military family. Im proud of our DA's, and I'm proud to have spent as much time with you as I did. But it wasn't enough. I went out of my way today to look Patterson in the eye one more time, but he just looked at the floor as he walked by, until at the last minute he veered out the corner of his eye to look at me. Then, like cowards do, he looked back to the floor because he couldn't bear it. Im just overwhelmed with emotions, and need you to know that you are a HERO to me and everyone that has known you. Your father mentioned today the saying that is in his home. I can't believe how true that is. I can barely see the computer screen, so I will go now. But until we meet again, rest in peace brother. I will cover your watch. And let it be known that badge 188 is a hero's badge.

Kurt, Justice has been served. Your murderer has been sentenced today to Prison the rest of his life without the possibility of Parole. You, your family, including your coworker family remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Kurt, we already know what the mandatory sentence is going to be, but on April 11th, the Judge will officially sentence Patterson to life in prison without parole. Justice has been served, and everyone here is very proud. We miss you. It's been a long, hard, bumpy road, but in the end, it all came together. You soon will be able to rest in peace. Godspeed brother......

Deputy Wyman I read the reflections left by all those who cared about you and I can honestley say I know exactly what they are going through.
My best friend and co-worker Deputy Keith Bellar died the same day you did by the same means. He was a fine,young Deputy on his way to a bright career, just like you. He was a devoted, Christian, Husband and Father of a 6month old son. Keith loved life. Your story is so much like his.
I go to this website every morning and hope I don't see another new face. Today is the last day of the 2011 year and I fear for those brothers and sisters in arms whose stories will be forever sketched into the 2012 year. In the back of our law enforcement minds lies that uncertainty if this day will be our last. Everyday I tell myself I am going to make it home to my family. My love for them drives me more than ever..
I sat and read every reflection today honoring all those left behind. My heart can't help but to go out to all those children who have lost their father,mother or loved one. My heart goes out to all my fellow brothers and sisters who lost a friend.
I watch over Keith's family everyday. I see the pain his wife goes through each missing day and holiday and it breaks my heart. I watched Keith's young son take his first steps and blow out his first birthday candle. Moments like these make me think so much of Keith. When will all this sensless tragedy end? To all my brothers and sisters stay focused and alert and never be ashamed to tell that fellow Deputy or Officer how much you appreciated them.
Deputy Wyman your story touched my heart and like Keith's story your bravery and love for god,family and service will forever remain embedded within all our souls. To Deputy Wyman's family and extended Law Enforcement Family, May God Bless you ALL each and everyday.

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiance Dennis. Every time I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the officer they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Deputy Wyman. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. (The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. I can also be found on Face Book.) You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Kurt, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Kurt's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Kurt's life was about so much more than the way he died. Kurt will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Deputy Wyman, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiance Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been eight & a half years and he's still very much missed and forever loved.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

I remember the first time I saw you Kurt. You were simply an unforgettable person. I held myself together for five months since you left us. I finally broke down and cried like a baby the other day. I kept saying "It's just not fair", because it is not. You were a devoted dad, husband, son, marine, and deputy sheriff. Your service to your community was simply remarkable. I wish I could pull up next to you and see you again on the street. I saw an ambitious, young man full of life. It's just not the same without you, it never will be. But, I will use your example to inspire me to be a better person. I just wish I coulda told you all this before you were gone. I miss you Kurt.

Today you go to Arlington. I wanted to go, but coudln't. I think about you everyday, and miss you terribly. We all do. I finally got the nerve to drive up Knoxboro Rd tonight while on patrol....It was more than I could handle. I just wanted you to know that I think about you often, and I still cry like a baby over things. I will come see you in a month or so, I promise. I make sure I have your picture, or something of yours, with me all the time. I never go on patrol without something. I love you, I mss you, and I am proud of you. I wish I could have been more like you.
