After being unable to reach him again by radio, his backup officer found him with a single gunshot wound to the head and one round fired from his revolver, still in his hand. Despite a massive investigation, no suspects were ever identified.

View all 27 ReflectionsUncle Bobby…just thinking of you today, miss you. It’s because of you I became the Uncle I have been for many nieces and nephews. I wanted to be the “fun” uncle that did crazy stuff…like you did…handcuffing us, shooting bottle rockets out that bedroom window. I will never forget grandma coming out yelling to stop before someone got hurt! I am so thankful I have those memories of you. We all do! And lastly, we know justice is coming. Almighty God misses nothing and one day soon they WILL give an account and answer for the evil perpetrated against you. We love you and miss you, uncle!
Love, Derek
