He made a U-turn and approximately a quarter mile down the road he entered an S-curve and left the roadway. His patrol car entered a culvert, rolled over, and he was ejected from the vehicle. He was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

View all 28 ReflectionsIt's been almost 19 years since you left us and I still want to cry every time I think about you. I wish I could see you one more time. You were the closest thing to a daddy that I had. It takes a true man to raise someone else's baby. I'll love and miss you always.
