Reflections for Police Officer Daryle Wayne Black

Daryle,.....it's been 14 years. Feels like today. I remember when we were little and you would do something wrong and some how I got in trouble...... I miss those days! I will forever keep the memories. I love you and miss you my baby, big brother.

Daryle, I often think about our talks in the fingerprint office each day before you would head out into the field. I knew if I ever needed advise, you were always there. You were a gentle soul and an amazing friend. So much happens on a daily basis that I would love to share with you like the birth of my daughter 13 years ago, my wedding to a US Marine 2 year's ago (he also is now OCSD) and little things every day. I was blessed to call you my friend. Rest in peace in heaven.

Daryle,
Miss you as always. One of your friends from the Marines has contacted me. He has shared stories that I am so happy to hear.
Wish we could have conversations on the phone over the Holidays any day-I miss them.

Although i never met you, my life was touched by the incrdible outpouring of support you received when you came home to rest. I was honored to salute you, and will never forget your sacrifice. I continue to include you and your family in my thoughts and my prayers.

I only knew Daryle when he was a little toddler. I attended Riverbend Elementary, and was friends with his sister Debbie. It is so sad, when a life ends at such a young age. He had a wonderful family and I wish them all the best and hope they find comfort that he was doing what he loved, and serving the public. What an honorable job.

Daryle...we know you are gone from here, but you will never be forgotten. I remember when XTE went to competition down in San Diego. I remember when all of us went out to eat. I heard you could eat alot. ha.ah.ha. You out-done me. ha.ha. I won't forget how you loaned me your 45 at the shooting range with XTE. I won't forget you sitting on our couch about a month before you died as you had loaned me the exercising gun for hand strength. ( I did not like the old 38's we had for XTE.) I never had been to such a large Memorial/or funeral service in my life. I hope to see you in Heaven someday.

Daryle,
13 years and not a day goes by that I, along with an uncountable number of others, think about ya. A lot has gone on since you were with us. I could really use some of that great advice you were always willing to give. Ill never forget the countless hours you would talk with me about the pd or just life in general. Thank you for being such a great friend and I know a day will come that we will all be able to reunite and catch up. Miss ya my brother!!

Daryle,

I was a young explorer working the sweep location the night you were killed. I met you and your partner when you came by the processing lot for Supermex. You were so cool to me. Made me feel like part of the team even at 15 years old. I was recalled the next morning to stand perimeter near where you were killed. I stood there all day. I remember being proud to have met you. I remember feeling the first real sorrow of loss in my life. I remember all of the great LBPD officers that were so somber and yet still had the presence of mind to joke with me and let me know it was ok to feel both sadness and humor. Norm Sorenson told me stories about you eating whole plates of carne asada and how you were a true triangle of a man. I still think about you sir. I am following in your footsteps.

Daryle,

Sarah and I still think about you and what a good friend you were to us. Thanks for being such a good soul. I will never forget the fun times together and your unique habits, like turning your soup into cracker porridge, using dirty t-shirts as napkins and working our way towards the coveted central booth seating at Long Beach Cafe.

These and other memories of you will always stay with me. Please know you remain in our hearts and minds - always.

Your Friend,

Greg Reed

Daryle, I did not know you well but recall you being an outstanding officer and such a polite man. I was off duty the night you and Rick got shot, and wept when I saw our Chief on the news telling of your death. I wept again when I listened to the 911 tape. I wept at your funeral, surrounded by my best friends in blue. That day was both sad and marvelous in a strange way; feeling the love people have for you and Rick, as thousands of us gathered shoulder to shoulder to honor you. You and your partner Rick are two of my heroes and I will never forget you. I am so proud to have been an officer on LBPD the time you were there. Rest in eternal peace, brother in blue.
