Reflections for Patrolman Harry Marvin "Marty" Steinfeldt, III

Today the City of Ferris remembers and mourns the death of Marty Steinfeldt, our friend and officer, and also Pedro Moreno, a Ferris resident, who was shot minutes before Officer Steinfeldt. Please continue to pray for the Steinfeldt and Moreno families who have suffered greatly from the needless murder of Marty and Pedro. Their family and friends continue to miss them and grieve.

I can't believe that it has been 10 years since the day you became an angel. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and your family. I pray each day that your daughter will know what a great and loving person you were. You truely touched my life and I'm forever grateful. I miss you so much but I know you are watching over us...Until I see you again....

On this 10th year since your passing, I just have to say that every year has remained a struggle to come to terms with your and my uncle's passing. I updated my facebook status today reflecting about it, and it is unbelievable how many people in Ferris still remember and send their thoughts and prayers to both of our families. I want Marty to know that I thank him so much for responding to that call in an attempt to save my uncle's life. Unfortunately, that is where he met his fate as well and our lives were changed forever. The days, months and years get easier, but every 6th of October comes along and we relive that moment like it's that Sunday all over again. Just know that you have a beautiful daughter that looks just like you, and we think about you just as much as we think of my uncle. Thank you for what you did. On this 10th year, I wanted to finally get the courage to say something. And I'm glad I finally did.

Marty,
I cannot believe it's been 9 LONG years!! It still feels like yesterday at times. Now that I have children, I wish you were here so they could love you the same way I do!! I will always cherish my memories I had with you. You were one of a kind, and the best big brother. Although not blood, we acted like it. My daughter is three and son just turned one a week ago. I know you are watching down on us all the time. We saw Troy last week at your grandmother's funeral, and didn't realize who I was until talking to your mom. He then came up to me and said, "I will step up and be your big brother if I need to be." That meant so much to me, and I didn't know what to say. You will forever mean the world to me. I know you're not physically here, but forever in my heart. I haven't got to see Alyssa much, but when I do, I see you written all over her. She's such a pretty little girl (and I still call her my birthday present:)) Not a day goes by that I don't think about you!! I love you Marty!!

Little Brother,
It's been 9 long years today. I still think about you daily.
Miss your hugs, that beautiful smile and you sitting behind me in Church pulling my hair!!

Your daughter is beautiful, she has your smile. Your smile always lit up a room and made everyone feel special.

We got to see Troy last week and you would be so proud of him. He made sure to hug my daughter and tell her he could come back to be a big brother if he had to for you.

I have a wonderful grandson and your Mom bought him a very special present from you!! Boudreux's butt paste!! She said she could just see you calling him that.

Life is so precious and I'm thankful that you knew how much we all loved you.

Love and miss you always,
DLS

We are planning our high school reunion and I thought of you and your family, especially your little girl. You always held a very special place in my heart and the birth of my daughter and your death will be forever intermingled in my mind. She was just 3 days old when I saw the news coverage of your death. It feels especially tragic since I know yours never got to know your hugs and see your smile light up a room with her own eyes. I hope that our memories of you will fill her heart the way you filled ours. Thanks for everything Marty.

Just heard "This Cowboy's Hat" and realized once more I'd never be able to sit with you over a cup and see that "big ol' Texas grin" of yours again... I pray for your family and friends. Keep them on your watch, brother. You are dearly missed. We all be riding them "black tornadoes" down here for a little longer...

Thought of you during this fateful month. It is still hard to believe after all those years. Not much has changed here, we're all still trotting away in our little ruts.

I ran across some old pictures of us in Germany, partying like we were Rock Stars or something..and there you were with that Beautiful smile pasted all over your face. I love and miss you brother, please keep watch over us down here. Can't wait to see that smiling face someday.

Marty,
I finally made it back to texas, Aunt Debbie and Uncle Butch brought me to see you and I loved it and took me to the memorial in ferris, and I finally got to meet your wife and daughter. I am about to graduate with my criminal justice degree and follow in the same footsteps you did and hopefully become a police officer. I only hope I can live up to what you did and make you happy, I know when I begin you will be sitting right next to me lookin out for me.

Love you and miss you
