Scott,
It's been a while since I left a reflection. I went to Columbia today and stopped by the Officers Hall of Fame and looked at your plaque. It is so hard to believe it's been 3 and a 1/2 years. Time is just flying, but it seems like you were here with us just yesterday. I miss you so much, your friendship, our conversations, your support, I could go on and on. Anyway, just know you are always in my heart and prayers.

I keep telling myself that I shouldn't sit here after work each night and read the posts on this website. I have wondered so many times why I do it because it is very, very sad to me. After reading so many kind thoughts of Deputy Quarles, I realized why I read them daily. It is because men like Deputy Quarles gives me the strength and desire to go on with this job every day. I did not know him but I know if we had met, I would've liked him. I know what he stood for and what he was made of because of the badge on his chest. To the family and friends of Deputy Quarles, I am saddened by your loss but find some comfort in the thought that you had him in your lives, if only for a short while. I will get to meet him someday, of that I am sure. In the meantime, until that day, I will continue to fight the fight in the streets that he fought. In his memory, I will do this. God Bless you all.

Know that I live on
I have never truely left you.
I am the bright sunshine,
warm on you face.
I am the sweet smile in the face of a stranger.
I am the cool breeze
that touches your cheek.
The scent of flowers
that blows in the air.
I am the memory that lightens your heart.
I am still yours
as I was from the start.

May you Rest in peace and May Our Lord hold your family.

I can't believe it's almost been three years, I feel like you're still around me, like your looking over me protecting me. A lot has happened since you left, I got married to a man named Scott, ironic eh? And I swear he knows as much about you as I do. We can be watching tv or something, and something about an officer dying on the news will come on and of course, you know me, the waterworks turs on, and Scott looks at me and says, Babe he died loving what he did, and he misses you as much as you miss him. It's so sweet, he never got to meet you, and yet he talks about you like he did. Still can't watch training day, I'll be in best buy looking at DVD's and i'll see it, but never have the nerve to pick it up and buy it, remember, you have my copy! I had to retire the Stone Sour CD too, I can't listen to "Bother" without crying. I miss you everyday, and one day we will see each other again. I love you turd.

P.S. Me and the hubby have decided if we ever have a boy his name will be Joseph Scott Horton:)

Hey Scott,
This is Big Ben. I am sorry I have not left a reflection until now. I just wanted to let you know that I will always remember your 21st birthday when we took you out to dinner. Only meeting you at the acadamy during basic jail and seeing how excited you were about being there and how bad you wanted to go back to basic law makes it rest easier on my heart knowing that you left this earth doing what you loved. We had a lot of fun those three weeks and I wish we could do it again. But you are in a better place, a place that does not have to be policed because there is nothing but good. Rest in piece "Toy Soldier" you will be missed.

Two years, it's hard to believe. Some days it seems as if it were yesterday when Momma called, other days I feel as it has been years since I heard your voice at midnight asking what are you doing? Scott there is not one day that goes by that you are not in my thoughts, my heart and prayers. I miss you and love you, keep your watchful eye on us and keep protecting from above.

Scott, It took me a while to finally leave a reflection on your page. I still remember the last day you came in to work. We laughed at how Wilkie and I had stopped one of the local Joanna perps, and how he complained when you stopped him hours later. I never worried when I went 10-42, because I new that our area would be the same when I came back in the next day. I left the Sheriff' Office in July 2004 to move to GA, but there is not a day that goes by that I think about where I started my career and how grateful you were to your comrades and the citizens of Laurens County. I salute you whenever I past your gravesite on HWY 25. Rest easy 248, the watch is ours.....Andre'

Well Scooter another year is here, your birthday came and went with a whisper, as I looked back on the year Ashleigh was born and you wanted me to wait just 3 more days so she would be born on your birthday. Scooter you are missed and thought of each and every day.
I love you, Happy Birthday!

Well Scooter one year ago my life changed, you were called to serve the Lord above and to leave us behind. My heart is still so heavy with the hole you left behind. We miss you so much Ashleigh misses you and talks about you all the time, she will be in honor classes next year, it hard to beleive she is in the 7th grade. Scooter there is so much I want you to share in right now,things like Mark and I are trying to buy a house, but then I tell myself you already now all this because you are watching from above. Live without your midnight phone calls is hard, holidays, birthday's, Ashleigh's honor classes, moving, and so much more I just want to share it all with you. Scott please keep watching over us and taking care of Papa till we all meet again, I LOVE YOU

In loving memory of D.S. Quarles:
We are fondly remembering you
today, the 1st anniversary of your
death. Thank you for your selfless service and sacrifice. It is a
long road to healing that lies ahead, but I know that our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ will extend His mercy and comfort to all who reach out to Him.
There is none greater than He. We don't get to Heaven based on what we do,
but what He did for us!! AMEN! There is now a huge void that cannot be
filled. God be with all those who mourn and may His promises lift all those
with heavy hearts for many years to come. I found this poem on another's
site and wanted to share it.

We may never understand it,
the risks these brave ones take,
but occasionally we see a bit
of the difference their lives make.
Some do it for the action,
others find it a callin'.
All find the satisfaction,
and few become the fallen.
Being an officer is what he loved,
To him as good as it gets.
Law was what he dreamed of,
He would have no regrets.
And though it saddens all of us
to lose him in this way
He knew how an officer must
Live life to the fullest everyday.

You are in my thoughts. If only I could erase your pain...

Hey Scott,
I went to the memorial service in Columbia yesterday. It was for you and the other fallen officers in 2003. The service was very nice. You now have your name in the Hall of Fame. Though you will always be remembered even if you did not. Now though others can look at that and remember you, or just thank you for all you did, even if they did not know you. Miss and love ya.

Hey Scooter,
It's Easter and just wanted you to know how much I love and miss you. E-mailed Rhi this past week and she is hanging in there, we just can't beleive that it has almost been a year. Holiday's are so hard without you. I have made a deal with myself by June I will be able to come see and talk with you, right now it just hurts to much, but Ashleigh and I will be there in June I promise.
HAPPY EASTER SCOOTER I LOVE YOU!!

Scottie,
It's been about 7 months, and things seem to never get any easier. Seems like every time I turn around, something seems to remind me of you. I lost the St. Christopher you gave me that Christmas, it somehow fell off my chain. I searched all over for it before I finally broke down in tears. It meant so much to me and I never took it off. I talked to Marty about you about a month ago, he had so many nice things to say about you, like everyone does. I just wish you were still here, so I could call you and bug you at 3am for no reason, like old times, or watch Van Wilder and Training Day over and over... those were the good times. I miss you Turd. Love always... Rosa

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Friday January 23 will be your 23rd birthday, Oh how I miss you. Ashleigh turned 12 Tuesday and my thoughts have been on the day she was born and I spent the day at your house waiting on her to get here. You were 11 and tried to get me to wait so she would be born on your birthday. You can't begin to know how I wish I could have held out three more days. I know you are there still taking care of me and loving me from above. I love you Scooter, Happy Birthday!
