Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Brian:
I remember you as a little boy, and although those memories are quite old, they are not forgotten, and neither are you. Rest in peace, "Moose".

Sunday makes 12 years that you were so suddenly and violently torn from our lives. We are all moving forward as you would want us to, but we all carry an open wound in our hearts that will never heal. Everyone keeps your memory alive ...the scholarship....the blood drive...the snow dash and endless "Brian stories." I am thankful for the 26 years God gave you to us and so proud of what you accomplished and will wonder forever what more you would have done...... Luv and miss you....Mom

Happy birthday son! We all still miss you terribly. Your uniform shirt is the first thing in my closet, and I can't tell you how many times I've opened the door and sighed and shed tears, but as you used to say to me, get a grip mom, get with the program. So I get a grip and get with the program and I thank God for the hero that you are and that your brother and sister are safe and that you were my gift for 26 years. I love you son. Mom

11 years son ... and you are still sorely missed ... by everyone, but your spirit lives on .... in so many ways. Your family is doing fine, except for today when we all have tears streaming down our faces. So rest in peace, my bonus. This is one very proud mother.

Much love and hugs

Dear Brian, 10 years ago your life was taken from you in a cold blooded heartless manner, but that doesn't mean that your memories did. You still live on in the countless officers who beat the streets every day to rid the world of the intrinsic evils of our society. Aswell your memory still lives on in your family... May you always know that you are loved and cherished

Rest in peace my dear friend

On the 10th anniversary of Patrolman Aselton's death, we honored his service in our patrol briefing by reading his entry from ODMP. Each day, we honor one fallen officer on the anniversary of their death so as to keep them in our thoughts, and also to remind us of the dangers inherent in our job. Patrolman Aselton is not forgotten.

Dear son, I cannot believe 10 years have gone by since that awful night. There are tears rolling down my cheeks as I write this, but I know that you truly made a difference in this world and if I could only have my "bonus" for 26 years, I am grateful for that. You are still sorely missed and loved. Mom and Tom

Brian,
You have been gone for 10 years, but in your short life you have inspired many
to make a difference. We thank you and all l.e.o.s who make a tremendous
sacrifice to make their world a better place, putting others above themselves
and being proud of the job they do, day after day after day without the recognition and appreciation they deserve. Thank you doesn't suffice.

Hi Bri,
Ten years today. It seems like forever ago that I heard your laugh, but just yesterday that my heart broke. I can only imagine where you'd be in your life today. I miss your happiness, energy and smile.
You are in my head and heart always.
I love you.

Brian,

Last year I was in Georgia attending training and happened to see a guy walk out of a building, where I had been. The back of his t-shirt read, "Brian Aselton Memorial Ride". I remember thinking, it couldn't be! I got up, ran out the door after the guy and asked him about his shirt. The guy, who had never met you, had been a police officer in CT.

After learning about the shooting, I ran to the computer lab and and started looking for any shred of information about what happened. When I found your page on the Officer Down Memorial I sat there completely stunned and in disbelief.

Although our friendship was brief I can still recount the many laughs we shared while struggling to survive recruit training. The tough times didn't seem so tough, because you were there cracking jokes and making me laugh!

The people, whose lives you touched will be forever in your debt. Thank you for your service to your country, your family and most of all, thank you for your friendship.
