I still have love for you Brother. But you know how I can be with keeping in touch, if the phone don't ring, you know it's me on the other end. I just wanted to stop past, say hey and let you know I still miss you. Peace to you and all the Brothers that have gone on before and thanks for being a Friend.

Linda, Erica Darryl and all the family, may the Peace, Blessings and Comfort of the Creator be with you All.

Five years have passed since you were taken from us. I think of you always, and miss you terribly. I know you are with the Almighty, and I have faith that we will be reunited in Heaven. Continue to protect your family from above. Especially Darryl Jr. as he patrols the highways, and Erica as she tends to the sick. Your beautiful granddaughters Chloe and Taylor are blessed to have you as their guardian angel.I was blessed to have had you as my life's partner. You will always be my hero!

I haven't left a message since 2004. Trooper Haywood served proudly and was deeply loved and respected by those who knew him. It is a tragedy to lose him. We never know when our lives on this earth will end, but we can make a reservation in Heaven now and assure us a place when God calls us to Himself. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6) and He PAID the price for our sins on the Cross so we don't have to pay the penalty for our sins. Yipee! If we accept His payment by faith we can have salvation and spend eternity with Him in Heaven. It is not something we must earn, it is a gift. The most precious one we can ever receive. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith_and this not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God_not by good deeds, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2: 8,9. For without faith, it is impossible to please God. And our faith must be in God's only Son, Jesus Christ.
You were a credit to the uniform, Trooper Haywood. My heart goes out to your loved ones left behind and may the Lord comfort them as only He can.

Just thinking about you today, and thinking about your family who misses you everyday. I wanted you to know that we will never forget about you and the sacrifice that you made this day four years ago and the sacrifice your family has to make everyday without you. I have my blue candles that burn 24/7 for all the hero in Heaven and actively on duty. We will never forget.

Well it has been 4 years today Trooper. I just wanted to drop a quick note to say that you are not forgotten. Even when I am working, citizens will come up to me and talk about you and what a great person you were. I must say thank you to you Trooper Haywood for wearing this uniform proudly and serving the citizens of this great state in the manner you did. We lost a true hero 4 years ago, but your service will always be remembered.

It has been 4 years since the your tragic, senseless death. I saw the impounded motorcycles that were involved in your death the other day and once again prayed for you and your family. I know you are looking down and protecting your troopers that put their lives on the line every day. We miss you, Trooper Haywood.

Mr. Haywood, I never thought the day would come, you would not be on the grill cooking hotdogs for me and Darryl. You are my role model and you still are my role model. As you are looking down on us in heaven keep your wings around your family and myself. One day we all will meet again at the golden gates of heaven. God is still blessing you and your family.

Darryl needs you to continue to watch out for him now that he is back on patrol. Chloe' still talks about her Pop-Pop. You are and always will be forever in our hearts.
