To those who loved Officer Heine, my heart goes to you all. Know that you're not alone in this journey you walk. I lost my fiance in the line of duty January 2003 and my world was forever changed. It's been a long hard road, and even as time as gone forward, and I've found many reasons and ways to smile, I still have not forgotten the man that he was. Dennis was a beautiful person and he forever has a part of my heart, just as I'm sure Nicholas will always be a part of yours.
It takes a special person to put their lives on the line everyday to make this world a little safer for us all. I know many of these men never would've thought of themselves as "heroes" but they were in so many ways. It's sad that it they had to lose their lives for some of us to see that. Having said that, thank you Officer Heine for helping to make this world a better place. You will not be forgotten here in Winnipeg. I know this isn't a very manly thing to do, but if you happen to run into Dennis up there, please give him a big hug for the kids and I. Dennis was a good man and we miss him more than words can say.
Wishing those who loved you brighter and better days,

Nick,
You will never be forgotten. Not only were you a great officer, but more importantly you were a great friend. You had an amazing amount of knowledge, and were more than willing to help others. I still look for you at shift change, standing by the break room waiting for roll call, smoking a cigerette with Gil or John. And I can still hear your voice greeting me with "whats up you bald 'blank'" You were too young Nick....but I know your in a much better place. Just remember, if God is bald, don't greet him the same way.
You'll always be a brother.
We all love and miss you Nick Jonathan Adams

I had the pleasure to work with Nick for aboutwo years. In that two years i seen Nick grow from a rookie officer to the officer that he became. Nick was always good at remebering names of people he dealt with only a couple of times and was an excellent resource. Nick and i also were in some hairy situations (that I wont put down on record) but have to say he never stopped fighting and would always back you up to the end. I will always remember Nick and will miss him dearly. My condolences go out to nicks family. Patrolman Jim Quintana

Nick,
It was truly an honor to have been able to serve these streets with you. You were one of the best officers this department has seen in a long time. You knew how to treat everyone with respect, and it didn't matter if they were the best of the best or the worst of the worst. You are an officer that all others look up to. I know that you were definitely one of the officers that I looked up to for guidance. You were an officer that never left your partners behind and I know that you will continue to have our backs. You left this world too early but being the good person you are I know that you build a good foundation for Nichole and Rebecca. There is a huge hole that has formed with your passing. We all find comfort in knowing that you are always with us and we will all meet again someday. May you rest in peace brother. Thanks for all the fun times and good memories.

A few words for a great cop and an even better man!
The Thing that He expected, But the One We never accepted.
For those who summoned him on the darkest of night, believing and trusting that he would be there to make it right.
Being there to help and comfort them, not even considering what they thought or cared of him
-These are the things that he always expected, when we he wasn’t there in time, it was something he never accepted.
For those who scorned him and analyzed his every move, judging him, as if there was something against him to prove.
And those who resisted against his mighty hand, when the time came for him to take a stand,
To them I say, He wore the badge with pride, each and every day, encouraging fellow officers to follow in his way.
-And these are the parts of the job that he always expected, but sometimes wondered why and never accepted.
And for those of us who walked beside him on that line, who knew he would always be there for us, every time
Knowing that each day could be our last, but left wondering why, so sudden, it came his time to pass
-These are the part of the job that we all expected, but will always wonder why and never accepted.
And for his children, who he held closest to his heart, who now must feel that there is only dark,
He loved you most and loved to watch you play, and will always look down on you, each and every day
And as he sits in heaven watching over his wife, the one part that he always considered his life,
Know that as he now stands among brave men, waiting for the day that he shall hold you again,
--Always remember…. That leaving you is something that he never expected, but knowing that he will see you again, I’m sure, is something that he has accepted.
Dedicated to the Memory of Nicholas Heine
Farewell Friend....
May you walk beside us always………… Officer Christopher Flores

My prayers are with Nick, his entire family and his family at the Pueblo Police Department. I met Nick before his career with the department and I am extremely proud of his endless efforts and goals to pursue a career in law enforcement. I am thankful for his hard word and efforts to serve the community of Pueblo and as a brother in law enforcement. His honor will follow with the men and women who serve the public and Officer Heine will always be remembered as a great officer and a great man.
God Bless you. Crystal Butkovich

who has lived well, laughed often,

better than he found it whether by

First of all, my heart pours out to the Heine family. I know how this feels and God and Nick are watching over all of you to pull you through this. Trust me there will be days when you feel the gentle touch of Nick's hand on your shoulder and you will know that everything is going to be okay. By the Grace of God, Nick will be giving you strength to move on. Just keep your faith in God.
Nick! I was not able to get to know you when you worked in investigations for a short period of time. All I knew is when you walked into the ID Section, You were very quiet, but respectful and nice. I feel as though after listening to all of your friends praise you and honor you, that I missed the opportunity to get to know a good man and to make another friend in our department.
You will be very missed Nick, but somehow, you have had another impact on this department. You have started bringing us all back together as a family. I truly believe we all will be tighter than ever. I know I will be putting 100% effort into expanding my family of my brothers in blue.
Nick! I know you are with God and you will be with all of us. There is no question about that. Please rest in peace and we will se you someday, My Brother in Blue. Detective Nikki Thomas
