Reflections for Border Patrol Agent Stephen Michael Sullivan

Agent Sullivan,
On today, the 25th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country and to the Patrol. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I saw your story for the first time today and even though I don't know you. I know you served well. I'm sorry that you had to give everything. It's hard to offer words to those you don't know, but I have experienced loss as well and I think as humans we can all share that experience. I hope your pain was brief and your loved ones are healing from your loss.

It is almost here. The day that shattered my heart and so many others. With time it becomes easier to remember the laughs (and there were so many) over the pain. Not a day goes by that I don’t still think of you. You are on my shoulder when decisions are to be made. You are remembered and missed everyday. Especially when the Magnum PI theme plays.

As I sit here at your final resting place I want you to know I miss you and will never forget you. Even though it has been 22 years since you left this world, you remain in my heart and will always be a part of my soul.

We shared so many happy occasions together with enough laughs to last a lifetime.

I’m sorry we did not get a chance to have our kids grow up together .....but even still, I imagine how it would have been. Lots of smiles, laughs and more shared joy. My kids would’ve loved you....and you them.

As you already know, I will never forget you and I will always continue to visit you.

I thank you for being such an instrumental part of my life and for guiding me throughout- even after your passing.

Your sacrifice, that day of tragic events and your memory will never be forgotten.

At approximately 7:00 am, on a mountaintop in heavy fog, Border Patrol Agent Sullivan was killed when the Ford Bronco he was driving overturned and tumbled down an 1,100 foot cliff in San Diego County, California. Agent Sullivan had 7 people in custody at the time of the crash. Dispite rescue efforts, three of those in custody and Agent Sullivan, died on the mountain that morning.
