Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Brian Edward Hayden

Deputy Sheriff Hayden,
On today, the 10th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but also when you served with the USAF-especially during the Gulf War. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

WA K-6 to NP K-6, fishing is never the same without you. Until we get back into that boat again, together, I miss you my friend.

I’m not sure where 10 years has gone. For the first time in 10 years I won’t be in Oklahoma to visit. The things I would tell you, the stories I would share. Rest easy my dear friend.

I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

Hey brother, Happy Thanksgiving in heaven. Miss you so much, miss all the great times we had together. Finally have decided to go hunting again. It's going to be odd and sad at the same time. I'll miss the laughs and times we had together in the woods as much as anything. It's been tough dealing with you being gone all these years brother. I still find myself breaking down in tears at the thought of it. There has been so many changes you would love it. Anyhow I miss and love you brother. I'll see you when I get there. You keep the beer cold and the stool open for me and we will have a cold one when that time comes.

Well brother I'm sorry it has been so long since I have left a reflection on here. I've tried two other ones here and they have yet to pop up. Miss and love you brother. It's so had to believe it has been four years in just a few days. I miss all the great times we had and even the arguments we had. I miss our times riding, hunting and fishing or just simply hanging together. It took me a long time to find a brother and I just wish I could have had many more years with you. It's still so hard to sit and talk about things you used to do out here. I'll listen as a person talks or tells a experience about you and I find even though I love hearing it I have to get up and walk away to hide the tears in my eyes. The pain has not faded much I four years but I imagine it may never. I still have your phone number in my phone and I find from time to time I look at it just wishing I could call you. To those that read this I'm sorry if this is in one of my other reflections or I repeat myself in a couple post. The other ones have not popped up yet and it has been two days. So just talking with my brother the only way I know how. Brian I miss and love you a ton. I'll see you when I get there.

Hello brother, it has been far to long since I left you a reflection on here. I come visit often and shed my tears in silence. Still miss you everyday, still have your number in my phone and look at it often wishing I could just call you to say hello. This time of year still gets very tough for me and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. You was and still are a very important person in many people's lives. You left an imprint on so many people's lives. I can only hope that when I get to sit with you again that I have touch half the lives that you did. That I inspired half as many people as you did and still do. It is so hard to believe it has been four long years. It is been four long years since I was able to laugh with you, hug you and just say love ya brother be safe out there. So many changes have taken place since you was taken from us, some good some bad. But I know you already know this because your are watching over us from up above. It's odd how I sit and find chatter from some of our old friends and we talk about the great memories you brought to them. Stacy Davis and I laugh and I still keep it alive about shaking the glass of ice and clinging the silver wear on our dishes to get her to fill that glass up for me. The funniest thing was just yesterday I found myself walking past a rookie officers patrol car out of Choctaw PD and I soul
T in my hand and rubbed it all over my hand and slapped my big handprint right on her windshield. She had no clue what it meant but as I walked away I mumbled that's from Brian. Brother I miss and will always love you. I'll see you when I get there.

Love and miss you brother, I wish you was standing next to me today. I always miss hearing your voice and being able to laugh and joke with you. See you when I get there brother, love you.

Hey Brother, sorry I couldn't get on here on the 19th and leave a reflection. I was honoring you in other ways. Brother life has changed in so many ways around here. I know you are up there looking down here just laughing and asking what the hell are yall crazy people doing.
Wish you was still here and we was able to just sit back and toss a few cold ones back and laugh about some of this crazy stuff. Even though you are not here in body we still get to have that drink from time to time just not how we used to. Miss and love you so much brother. Keep a spot open for me a the beer on ice. Ill see ya when I get there.

Brian,

You were always such a great friend to me, you was my mentor you was always there to help me when I called. At times you was more a father figure to me than a brother. I am sorry I haven't wrote much, it still gets to me. I was told last week that as of the first of may, I will be getting promoted to the dank of Sergeant, I know I could not have done it with the strive and knowledge I gained from have working and most of all, knowing you. You always had faith in what I did and I will never forget that. Thank you so much for everything you did to help me.

Brian I didn't know. We had gone to that OBN class then I never heard from you. You were an awesome person. I'm very glad that I had met you. We were from the first CLEET class in 2007. RIP Brother. You'll be missed.

Big Brian
Hey brother, it's Christmas and you've been in my thoughts and prayers a lot lately. I finally took your advice, I'm leaving for the police academy in a few weeks. I landed a job as a game warden back home. I wish you were here to talk to, but I know you're looking down, patrol cap on the back of your head just grinning. I imagine you saying, "About damn time." You'll never be forgotten brother.
