Its always an incredibley hard thing to accept one of our brothers in blue have passed, even more so when you have known the downed Officer. I work with his brother Aaron Burns. I know both Evan and Aaron have made great Police Officers, and he will be missed greatly by many.

I pray for his son, as well as the rest of the Burns' family.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I'm sadden each time I read about another good officer that is killed while protecting us in the line of duty. My heart goes out to his son and to his family including his police family. It's a long tough road ahead for his family, I'm in my 19 month of grieving yet it still feels as if it were yesterday that Dennis was killed Christmas Day of 2009 which was also our anniversary. We were together 15 years, I would do anything to have had just one more day.

If there's anything I can do to help please don't hesitate to contact me.

Peace,
