Reflections for Patrolman First Class David Christopher Ezernack

I never knew you but feel as if I do and you are dear to me. I hear so many stories from your friends, especially Rob, Kev, April and Ash. You brought them many fun and funny memories they still talk about often, like they happened yesterday. Every story they tell, I end up laughing until my stomach hurts. And when they tell them, they get huge smiles on their faces. You were truly a unique and wonderful friend. I don't think they will ever forget, or ever stop keeping your memory alive. You gave the ultimate sacrifice, and there are no words to thank you for that. Please continue to watch over your brothers in blue. And try not to cause too much ruckus up there!

My darling David:
Time flies so fast, yet remembering you is a daily ritual. Love flows with the thoughts of your life. Our hearts are lifted by the humorous rememberances and consoled by your portrayal of strong faith. You have left us as a mortal but become an angel and guardian. Please watch over all of us in our family, your friends and also you brother police officers. They face such danger as you and Jay did. Take care and know that our love for you only grows by the day. I wish I could be with you once more to share the bond established when you were here. I know you are happy with Christ and from this thought I draw strength. God bless us as we continue to grieve and strengthen us as we cherish the knowledge of being joined together eventually. We will always love and miss you. Mom

My Dearest David:
Happy Easter! I know your celebration of Christ's Ressurection will be a joyous one. As you and Jay guard the throne of Christ at this glorious time please remember we miss you still. However, it is very consoling to know you are happy in heaven and that we will be joining you one day.
Amy & Wesley have had a set of twins. Our darling baby boy is named David Wesley and our beautiful baby girl is named Lindsey Catherine. They have helped to fill the void that you leave and we consider ourselves blessed.
Ashley and John Brian have four children that are wonderful. Two boys and two girls. A perfect family that again brings us such joy.
And, of course, our Lance. He's Junior High now and quite the student, sportsman and socialite. He reminds me so much of you and how you like to dress just so, comb your hair and impress the girls.
Every day I think of you and pray that you'll watch over all of us. We love you son, now and always. Mom

Forgive me for missing the anniversary of your E.O.W., but I felt as though I could not continue to read about so many tragedies. I now realize the visit each day to leave a word of encouragement and hope to the loved ones of others, helps me to remember that I am not alone with my pain and heartbreak. So may I say to your friends and loved ones that my thoughts and prayers are with them now and always. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol and may they know you will never be forgotten.

Thinking of your loved ones today and everyday. I know the daily struggles they face without you and the terrible pain within their hearts. God, wrap your loving arms around them and help them with their grief and let them feel your presence.
Your sacrifice has not been forgotten.

David,
I was just thinking of you, Jay and Brian. Ya'll are missed every day and I don't know of a day that goes by that I dont look around the back lot and think of a time when I held a conversation or just a passing hello with one of you guys. It is a memory that I will always have. Or I drive by a house where we were at working a call together. It is these memories that I will always cherish and it helps make this crazy world a little more tolerable. Thanks for keeping watch over us. We'll meet again one day. Ya'll will never be forgotten.

I just wanted to let you know i was thinking about you. It is not a single hunting or fishing trip that I take, that I dont stop and reflect on all the fun and adventurous trips we had together. I have a little boy now and every time I take him hunting or fishing I promise you I will tell him a funny story from one of our trips together. Love always Shayne.

“Penny Angel”

Unexpected rainbows, a blue bird, or a lone penny near my feet,
Your initials, a familiar song, or an APD car passing on the street.

All of these little things remind me that you are still near,
They are fleeting reminders of hope that I should have no fear.

For one day we will meet again, the void will just go away,
To see your smile, hear your voice—these words I hope and pray.

Although you may not be here for all of us to see your face,
You may stop by in an unexpected moment at an unexpected place,

In a fishing story that makes us laugh, an old picture, or a dancing beat,
I smile to you, David, and say hello when a lone penny is near my feet.

Love always,
Ashley

I don't know where to start David, once again i'm lost for words. I miss you so much, I can rewind the memories a thousand times, but nothing I do can bring you back. You would be very proud of me and man I wish you could see my children. They know all about you and the older they get the more they will appreciate you and your awesome sacrifice. David once again I want to thank you for being you. Please continue to watch over us as we battle this cruel world. The day will come and I will see you again, boy will we have alot to talk about. I love you my brother.
