Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Brian:

We will never forget you. Everyone misses you still. You would be so proud of your mother and all of the wonderful things she does for others. She is a joy just to be near. Your sister is amazing and fun and lives in your memory. We wish you could be here, but we know we will see you again, and that you are watching over us.

Hey Gibson,

12 years have passed and I can still hear you laughing as we patrolled Sector 3 in Wagon 117 on midnight. So many nights we would laugh so hard that tears ran from our eyes. I thank God that he allowed me to meet you and work with you. You are truly missed.

Brian,

I met your mom last week at a COPS conference, what a wonderful woman she is. She helped me more then anyone could know. I know you were there in heaven to meet my son when he came home in September. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers now and always.

I had the great pleasure of meeting your mother this week at a COPS conference. Although I never knew you, you are a fellow police officer and you are missed. I could listen to your mother speak all day, she is an amazing woman. God Bless You and may you rest in peace.

I've seen the Memorial Notice in the Washington Post every year; and I am struck by the "Never Forget" fidelity of the Family. I'd like to add my remembrance; and I'm adding Master Patrol Officer Gibson to my prayer list. We must ALL remember.

"We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again."

I had the Honor of hearing your Mother speak today. She spoke at a Memorial Ceremony today during Police Week. As a mother myself I applaud her strength and courage. One only has to hear her speak, to know her heart. Her heart, that although it still grieves, is able to reach out to other families in their times of need. She spoke of your dedication, and love for your profession, both of which she continues to honor, by her continuous support she lends to others. I know you are with the Angels, far in the heavens above, and she is one of the Angels here on earth. God Bless you both!

Please know that even after 10 years you are not forgotten. I will never forget something that was said at your funeral -- maybe your dad said it but Im not sure -- He said that you were NOT in the wrong place at the wrong time - as had been said so many times that week - but you were right where you were supposed to be - just doing your job. You are truly a hero and your fellow brothers and sisters with MPDC have not and will never forget you. Rest in peace and watch over them.

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Officer Brian T. A. Gibson,
I had the honor of getting to know your daughter Brianna and your beautiful wife this past week. You have much to be proud of! Your daughter is a beautiful, bright and giving little girl and I can not wait to see her again in the future. The sacrifice that you made for your community is one that will cross my mind every time I put that badge on my uniform from this day forward!

God Bless you and your family,
Officer Stephanie Thomas

MPO "Gib",
10 years have passed and it seems like just yesterday we were working midnights together at 4D. I guess by now you are the Chief of Police in the Army of the Lord. Thank you for assigning your angels to watch over us. You will always be remembered,loved and never forgotten.

God Bless

"My Brother"

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was idealistic and believed he could make a difference.
He was immensely proud of the uniform and the badge and what they represent.
He felt privileged to be of service to his department, his community and to his country.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was friendly, courteous, and polite, yet firm.
He laughed and joked, but was serious when necessary.
He was competent, trained, and professional.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He had a strong sense of right and wrong and became
frustrated when true justice became sidetracked.
He felt the sharp criticism that goes with the job, but he
never wavered.
He stood by and for his fellow officers.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He longed for his family during the long hours.
He worried about them during his shifts and the lonely
weekends, holidays and midnights when they were apart.
He felt guilty about the lost time, but knew his calling
and prayed they would understand.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was a good son, a loving husband, and a devoted father.
He was dedicated to the profession and cared about the
people he served.
He wanted to do the best job that he could and strived to
be the best he could be.
He was a good citizen and a good neighbor.

He was a cop.

Yes, I did know him.
He was a cop, he was my Brother.

Rest easy Brother Gibson, we have the watch...



”I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
---Isaiah 6:8

You answered the call and made the ultimate sacrifice. Rest easy in God's kingdom and watch over us as we continue the battle here on earth!!!
