View all 386 ReflectionsPatrick Family - We just completed the annual Wheels of Justice Ride - now known as Texas Heroes Ride - and it was a wonderful day to remember fallen heroes. Last year I rode this ride in memory of Scott and although I rode for another officer this year, he certainly was on my mind again.
The support community for First Responders is strong down here in the greater Houston area so please know many prayers are being offered up for all officers like Scott.
God Bless,
