Reflections for Police Officer Beryl Wayne Scott, Jr.

I remember that day so clearly, I was taking my Wife to St. Josephs hospital, for the birth of my 2nd Son Ryan, when I heard the tragic news of the collision that claimed your life.

I heard that your wife was pregnant with your first child, it deeply touched my Wife and I. Officer Scott thank you for your service, as a Motor Officer I know you touched many lives, and saved many more with your DUI / traffic enforcement, you and your family are in our prayers.

In Memory of Officer B.(Wayne) Scott #5580.
E.O.W. September 10, 2002

On this day four years ago, I remember sitting in the briefing room talking to you about dinner plans. You had to leave to go assist another officer with a DRE.
Then the radio call came out, A Motor Officer Down. I will never forget that day. I arrived on scene and was told to get to the hospital. I knew right then that I just lost a friend, partner, and brother.
I ride everyday remembering you, your picture in my office, and many memories. Many of the motors still tell stories about things we did with you on any given day. You have not been forgotten by your family and friends.
Your daughter is beautiful!! Allisa has been a wonderful mother. I know your proud of her.
Tonya and I talk about you frequently, we know you will be there on our special day in a few weeks.

To the family, on this day and everyday our prayers go out to you. You lost a wonderful son, husband, and father.
We will be doing another Wayne Scott and fallen officer memorial ride in October to remember those who have lost their lives protecting the streets we live.
May GOD BLESS all of you and protect you.

Mark, Tonya, and Lauren

REMEMBERING OFFICER SCOTT TODAY.
AS THE ANNIVERSARY APPROACHES, YOUR MIND STARTS THINKING OF THE DAYS PRECEDING, DURING AND AFTER THE INCIDENT. IT IS VERY VIVID IN YOUR MIND AND THE HURT AND PAIN RESURFACES. YOU WISH THAT DAY NEVER HAPPENED. BUT IT DID AND YOU HAVE TO GO ON AND TRY TO KEEP THEIR MEMORY ALIVE. ONE DAY EVERY THING WILL BE MADE RIGHT AND YOU LIVE FOR THAT DAY.
GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY HE CONTINUE TO GIVE YOU CONFORT AND STRENGTH.

Hey Wayne, I came across some photos the other day while getting ready to met up with the “Old High School Gang”. Photos of us in California, with the corvette, bring back a lot of memories. We meet every anniversary at your place and tell stories. I think about your journey through the different police agencies until you found your place with Phoenix P.D. I was proud to have you as a friend then, as I am today. I would like to think you remember what I told you at your graduation. I still display the gift you got me for my graduation and I look at it most every day before work. A lot of people miss you, Love to you and your family. Jeff & Cheryl.

A and K,

Today will not pass easily without memories and without sadness. Stay strong and know that you are thought of with love and hope.

Wayne,

Your family grieves for your loss and feels such an emptiness in their hearts. I did not ever meet you but I have known your wife and child for a few years now. Your pictures hang proudly in their home and your presence has not been forgotten. Send them the necessary strength to come through today with the good memories shining strongly.

The City of Phoenix lost a police officer this day four years ago...A family lost a HUSBAND, FATHER, BEST FRIEND, SON, BROTHER, and so much more.

We have not forgotten! Thank you Wayne! Thank you A and K for continuing to share Wayne and your memories. I know how special they are to you now...

Dear Wayne,

I just can not believe it. It now has been four years. Four years off missing you,living without you, but most of a little girl now has four years without her daddy.

I think of our plans for that night...and our plans for your birthday the following week. It is all such a loss, due to someone's tragic actions.

I would tell you all about what you have missed....but you know don't you! For you have been here all along, as your presence has been felt in so many ways.

I look forward to the day, that I do not feel this day coming, a week out. That on the eve before I do not spend my day thinking of what tomorrow means. I am not sure that this day, year after year will ever become just another day for me. A blessing that is a gift to charish. For I know that every day in life is a gift, but this day still holds such saddness for me.

As I look at our little girl, I thank God for her everyday. She is our little angel, one like no other. I know you are so proud of who she is becoming. Those that support us and love her, try so hard to fill in the gaps of what she is missing from you. But that emptiness will always be there for her. She feels it. She knows you are in heaven with the angles, as she talks and sings to you. She hopes soon you will "come down" and play with her. She is proud she has a daddy who is a policeman.

I ask that your presence be felt with those who need it. With those who still need support to make the right decisions about you, and their loss. Please send them strength to help them heal and move on. I ask that you help us all be honorable, respectful, and most of all do everything we can to cherish your daughter. To do nothing that will cause her disrespect. For I know that is it what you would of wanted.

For once again as I write to you, about you, you have a little girl who is sleeping soundly, not knowing the saddness that is still so strongly felt on this tragic anniversary of your death. I try to do something extra special with her, just the two of us every year on this day.

You are missed so much. My heart still so aches for you. Until we meet again.........Let me feel your presence around me today to provide comfort.

All my love,

Alissa

Thinking of you today, missing you. So many things and issues are soon to be resolved surrounding your death. We hope justice will be served. Finally. We love you. Your daughter talks to you often. She is getting so big! I can not believe that in one month you would of been gone 4 years.....

August 12, 2006

We miss you. Got a battle streamer the other day with your name on it along with your end of watch. It was hard to see it. It is a neat program that the Phx Honor Guard is doing.

Your daughter starts "big girl" school next week. She is very excited with her new backpack and lunch pack. I know you will be there with her on her big day. Continue watching over us....

We love you.

Heard your voice today on a video tape left behind. Oh how you are missed today as much as the day you left us.

Happy 4th of July!

Wayne, your death has brought about many reactions and changes in so many people, and some still struggle so to let go and heal. But your legacy lives on through your daughter, and the great things we are doing to help others in similar situations. To get through that horrific time that follows the death of a loved one.

Your daughter sat on Don's horse the other day to pose as our mascot for our future equine therapy program for fallen officer's families....she was so proud and so bonded with the horse. It was quite a site to see. She thgought she was on the horse for her daddy. It was if you and Don were shining through Cartman, keeping her safe while she was on his back, hugging him and riding him. I am sure you two have shared many of stories by now...keep watching over us, especially your daughter.

I pray she will always be honored and kept safe. My family and friends surround her constantly and make sure she knows she is loved, trying to fill that empty space she is so accutely aware of that can really never be filled. You would be so proud and happy of those who have supported us and stuck by us, for I know that would of been most important to you. Until we meet again....

Wayne, There are so many things to say about you and your family. I miss the times of us going out and "practicing" our motor skills. We had some good times. I wear your serial number everyday on my motor wings so that you can continue to ride with me. You will be missed, but NOT forgotten. I keep in touch w/Alissa and Katianna. Your daughter is beautiful!! Alissa has been amazing with what she has accomplished for you and other fallen officers. Katianna knows who and where her daddy is. We
hold a memorial ride every September for you and other fallens officers. You are missed, but I will continue to ride the "Thin Blue Line" everyday for you.

Wayne,

It has been at least 15 years since I saw you & I heard the news today.

I fondly remember our lunch together in Carefree & my trying to con you out of your DDAM shirt with no success. I'm sorry we lost touch after. Until we meet again.

God bless you and your family.

You are missed. A bunch of us went out today and we talked of all those memories we all shared with you. Your daughter is so big. She is so proud of you. She tells us her daddy is in a car and on a motorcycle in heaven. I think of you often. The SHN has helped several......you are the inspiration of the foundation along with Don. Jason and Eric just lead us down the right path, and gave us the reason to take things big......

I love you always. Katianna knows you are with Angels. She actually is convinced you play with her in her dreams......Please continue to watch over her. The gift of life you left behind is so special.......

Wayne,
I cant help but recall the DRE training we were involved in. My intructor certification bears your name. I remember still, driving together for lunch in your aggressive driving car. I also recall the horror of "the call" I received and the funeral. Your legacy lives. Those you trained are still fighting the epidemic of impaird driving and keeping faimlies safe. God speed Wayne. You are not forgotten!

Mrs. Scott, as I wrote in the reflection for Officer Schultz and to his wife, I would like to thank you for the support that you and your organization (Survivors Help Network) give to others in their time of need. My sorrows to you and your family for your loss of yet another (unforgotten) hero.....your husband! My department is nearing there one year anniversary of our fallen brother (Officer W.A. Henley EOW 3-19-05). I am certain that his wife and family appreciate the support that people like you and your organization provide. Many thanks to you and your husband for attempting to make this world a better place.

Yet another City of Phoenix Employee memorial honoring this past years deaths. It is so sad to see how this cycle continues. Give us the strength to know that you are all in better places. You are all so missed by your loved ones left behind. It is so hard for us....yet I know you are all in peace.

We went to "Build a Bear" this past weekend. Katianna was given gifts of two bears to build by Doug and Veda. You should be proud to know that she built a Police Bear and named it "Daddy", and the second one of course was a Ballerina Bear that she named "Princess".

We love you and miss you. Kisses up to the sky for you.

We participated in the Run to Remember today to honor all Fallen Officers. Katianna raced her little heart out for you in the kids run. She was very proud as they gave her her medal.

She will always be proud that you are her daddy. People that knew and loved you will always make sure that with every year she gets older, is another year she learns of more of our memories of you.

We miss you.

Alissa
