Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Another officer from NWI has joined you in Heaven. He was only 3 years younger than you an my heart aches for his family who will never see him get engaged, get married or have kids. He was also a small town boy...

Bryan, just want to tell you that I miss the cook-outs our families would have at your parents house. You and Brett were a complete riot arguing back and forth, then of course your dad would start yelling. I'll never forget when my dad got the call that night, a call that changed our lives, forever. We know that you are here with us, watching over all of us. On behalf of the Christie family, we love and miss you more than words could ever describe.
Rest In Paradise.

I sat down and wrote a long reflection about a week before your EOW, but my luck being what it is, it fell into the Internet abyss and did not post. Whatevs. Anyway, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Your kindness, love, and generosity will never again exist in my opinion. When you died, a huge part of me died as well. This is something that I cannot explain to anyone who didn't know you, or who didn't know us. One we met and fell in love (which happened quickly) there was never one of us without the other. We were never apart for more than a few days at a time, because being apart from one another caused us both distress. You even cut short a trip or two, just to get home to me. There are so many things that I loved about you. I can't measure any of those things into words. We were each other's best friend and true Soulmates. One without the other is really no good to anyone else. I will never have kids as a result of your murder. I have dealt with that, but the existential loneliness that lives on from your vacancy is relentless. It is physically painful and I cannot describe it. I will never trust anyone like I trusted you. You were and will always be The One.

Love
J

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones today. A decade may have passed since you were called away but those that love you dearly have not forgotten you nor will that ever be the case for they carry those special memories of you in their hearts forever. Continue to keep watch over all of your loved ones. You have not been forgotten.

saw a flag draped casket today in a hearse that was traveling down the 163...I almost crashed my jaw dropped to the ground and it put me right back in that place....
I miss you.
There will never be another love like you as long as I exist.

Honey,
I did something last night and when I did it, I felt SO much strength from you. I have felt that way the last month or so...I know that you are behind my decisions and all of my great life changes to date. 9 years yesterday, it didn't seem possible, but I have digested it now. I went horseback riding and it was amazing. The scenery reminded me a lot of our honeymoon up in Kern Co. I also loved the fact that you played two DMB songs for me yesterday on the radio. I felt you comforting me. I will always love you babe..

Love,
Your Wife

Big V. A bunch of us got together the other night, to commemorate, as we have done for the last several years. Pretty big turnout. It is really hard to believe that it has been nine years. I miss you, brother.

Keep an eye on us, and on Juli.

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones and close friends today and every day. Continue to keep watch over all of them.

A page in the book of memory,
Silently turns today.
We remember you in silence,
And make no outward show.
And what it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.

B...

I can't believe it's been so long since I've seen your goofy smile. Please continue to watch over the guys & girls at the station. You were such an extraordinary guy. Please give Dumpy some luck on his next fishing trip...I know he still misses you terribly.

9 years is aproaching...Hard to believe! So much has changed and so much has gone on since then. I know you are still looking out for all of us. The Irish are undefeated my friend!!! Next up.. National Championship!! Shake down that thunder!
I know Juli misses you. I see it in her posts all of the time. Give her strength Bryan! Your wife is such a wonderful woman. Give her comfort at night when she sleeps. Help ease her pain. You are missed and always remembered!!

Tis the season for National Police Week, your EOW and our wedding anniversary...so much in short amount of time. I reflect often on our time together and still miss you more than I can explain to anyone who didn't know us or see us together. Eight years doesn't even seem possible...

"He was a wonderful man. And when a man is that special, you know it sooner than you think possible. You recognize it instinctively, and you're certain that no matter what happens, there will never be another one like him."
