Think of you often and recall the night the Lord took you home. :(
Your family is incredible and has been a blessing to so many through their grief, I know you are proud.

Many Deputies showed up to stand alongside Preston at his Graduation in honor of you.

This year I missed tracing your name at the Officer Memorial in Austin, but know I was there in spirit.

Rest in Peace, we got it Brother.
