Nik i never really got a chance to say hello but just the pure memories showed me how great of a person you were. You were a man of God, and a trooper, always there to protect and serve, and you did that job to the highest way possible. You have inspired me to become a trooper, and believe me, your memory will live on. I know you are with Jesus right now and i can't wait to see you when I go to my real home in Heaven. God bless your family, God bless the OHP and every other law enforcement agency. I will never forget you.

One life you touched

Trooper Green was a great man and had a big impact on my decision to be a police officer. When I was about 16 I met him and sat and listened to stories of his life as a trooper. He will be missed and honored by me displaying a sticker reading in memory of trooper Nik Green on the rear window of my car

Linda,
I never really realized how you could take care of all of us when you were the one hurting the most. You listen to us as we cry and lean on your shoulder when I feel like it should be the other way around. The night I watched 60 minutes it all came clear to me. I listened to you tell your story and then it hit me like a ton of bricks, you not only fight for the memory of Nik but you do it so that maybe any one of us will not be in your position. I can not even put into words how it made me feel that you are trying to protect our husbands and us while dealing with the horrible situation you are in. I can only try to humbly tell you that you are carrying on Nik's work by protecting his brothers. I can barely speak Nik's name without being overcome with tears. That morning when my husband left to find your husband's murderer, I didn't know how I could possibly pick up the pieces if he didn't come home. You break through the clouds and come out shining with light in the wake of the darkest days of your life. I only hope and wish that I could be half the person that you are. We have your family framed in our living room, I stop and give you guys a piece of my heart everytime I walk past the picture. I can't thank you enough for everything thing that you have done to make this state a safer place. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Even as I read what I have written, my words still don't express what I mean. Nik is smiling on you in everything you do. Thank you is all I can think to say.

While driving home tonight I had the most beautiful memory of Nik. One day my truck was broke down in Lawton at a local restaurant and my wife and I were to pick our daughter up from school and we were going to be late (because of the truck). We made a call to Linda and she said she could help with our daughter. Unknown to me at that time she had called Nik who was on duty at the time of all this. Well, Nik showed up, helped out and after a ride to parts store the truck was running and we were headed south to pick our daughter up. Just another day for Nik, helping out while serving the comunity. He helped me out whenever I needed help, but the incredible memory was not the fact he helped me. Rather, it was the way he made me feel when he showed up that day in that hotrod camaro decked out in the brown that the OHP wears. That day I wanted to scream to the whole world that he was my friend, I wanted to tell everyone in that restaurant that I know Nik Green, he came here to help me out! Quite simple I suppose, the memory of that day. It is one I shall never forget for in it is this simple truth, a friend is never to far away. Thank you Nik, we miss you.

Mrs. Green
I watched 60 Minutes tonight and was truly moved by your efforts to get legislation passed that will in the long run keep Law Enforcement Officers safer. I'm sure your husband is looking down from heaven with much pride. God Bless you and your children.

March 2, 2005

Nikky,
I really don't know what to say. I still can't, nor want to believe you are gone. I will never forget the day you came to my high school just to tell me about applying for the Highway Patrol. Our friendship started there, and continued to grow throughout the years after. You are the one who taught me how to shoot, yet as I reflect I think I learned more about how to be a honest police officer, good father, and stable Christian then I did about shooting. I miss you, and think about you everyday. Till we meet again...

ANNUAL PEACE OFFICER'S MEMORIAL SERVICE
United States Capitol
Washington, D.C.

"When the innocent need defending, we look for people like Trooper Nik Green, of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, who was shot and killed by a drug dealer resisting arrest. He died on the morning after Christmas on a stretch of highway just over a mile from his home, where he left behind a wife and three young daughters. This good man was also a youth pastor at First Baptist Church, where hundreds of his fellow State Troopers came to pay their final respects. The pastor said of Trooper Green, "He set a standard that we're left challenged by. We're going to hurt for a long, long time." "

It's been over a year now, and still the void is great! No longer will we see the black and white pull in our driveway to check on us ~ and yet, it is still there in memory when we want it to be! You are still checking on us; we feel it in the love and respect you showed us. Our own mortality was brought before us Oct. 1, 2004 when your Aunt Jane was diagnosed with breast cancer. We lean on Isaiah 43:1 when God said, "I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; YOU ARE MINE". What comfort to know that He has put us where He wants us. He put us among the family, friends, churches, communities that He wanted us to have to share the blessings He has for us while we walk the way of life on earth. Then, He prepares us for this statement: "When you come to the edge of all the light you have known and are about to step out in the darkness, FAITH is knowing one of two things will happen.....There will be something to stand on or you will be taught how to fly."
Precious Nik, you were taught how to fly on Dec. 26, 2003 ~ we leave you to watch over us all and thank our God He gave you to us to share our lives and leave a lasting legacy for your precious girls and all the friends, family, church, and community God so graciously put you here to support. Our prayers are to reach that same honor someday ~ to be able to fly with you.
All our love ~~~

Hey bro.
I figured after a year, typing something here might be a little easier but I was wrong. I still miss seeing you out on hwy 5 and backing you when I was coming home on the evening shift.I remember the talks and guidance you gave me over the years and hopefully I am making you proud. I hope you enjoyed the little christmas tree I took to the cemetary and thanks for listening to my prayers while I was there. Guess that enough for now, I miss you

Nik and his family was a dear friend to me. After the birth of my son who has had multiple heart surgeries and will have more...as I prayed to God from the hospital...I will never forget the feeling I received and a certain peace that came over me and my family...my son has done very well and continues to amaze my husband and I and his doctors..Of course I owe it all to God ...but I feel that Nik has been there this whole time and I know that he is my son's guardian angel. After his last surgery when I spoke to his wife, Linda, she said she prayed and asked God and Nik to send a healing power and a miracle to my son and peace to my family...which is exactly what happened that day and is still happening. As we spoke we both just cried and praised God that he is still allowing Nik to touch lives and work Miracles from Above..
Thank you Nik for watching over my son and thank you Linda

Dear Florida Association of State Troopers,

Thank you so much for your generous donation to the "Grand Idea" program that will help Nik's dream of a youth center come true. I wish you could have seen the joy you brought to Linda's heart when she opened that box containing the FAST bear and check for $1,000.00. It just so happened that the day the package came to Linda, the foundation was being poured for the Nik Green Christian Youth Center and Sanctuary.

Christmas was a difficult time for Nik's family, but they still rejoice in the precious gift of God's son and the blessings that He continues to faithfully bestowed upon their family.

May God bless each and every one of you and we pray His hand of protection upon you and yours in the upcoming new year.

Hey partner, it hard to believe it has been a year now. I think about you everyday. We talk about you often at headquarters and around the pd. We laugh alot at your stories, yet we cry alot too. I am keeping my promise that I made to you, your family is being cared for and well taken care of. This not only by me but by many far and wide. I never had the chance to tell you, but you are my hero. The bible says we shall have no idols but follow christ and his teachings. You was his prophet and you lived his word as well as shared it with others. Your dreams of the youth center are going well and will be completed soon.
Please watch over all of us here. I love and miss you..

Gary.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM HEAVEN

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart
But I am not so far away, We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones, You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

My Brother in Christ; Every officer at the department will dearly miss your presence. You are an example to all as to how we should live our lives while we are on this earth. God has called you home, but because of who and what you are, you are still with me every minute of my life. I will miss seeing you until the day we stand together before our Maker. I pray for the peace that only He can provide for your family. We love you.

Hey Nik, I just wanted to thank you for all of the advice that you gave me when you worked in Tillman County. I was a newly hired officer with the Tipton Police department and you were a trooper for the county. I remember you being there for me many times when I had questions or needed back up. I remember you and I becoming partners of a few incidents and helping each other out on them. You were a very BIG influence on my life and my job Nik. I can also remember seeing you with your bible sitting in your trooper car and knowing that you read it everyday and lived by it. You helped me better my career, my life, and get my self confidence built up with my job. Nik I have moved on to a bigger and better department and I owe it to you sir as being there to help me. You were an inspiration to all that worked with you and knew you. I just want to say that I still remember to this day when and how I heard about your passing. I was on the road traveling from Ardmore back to Altus when I heard about it and I had to pull over and cry. I have been by to see you several times and it is still hard but I want you to know that I will never forget you. I do remember one thing you always told me and that is "Even though I wear a different uniform than you do we still do the same job and I will always be there to help you". Those words meant a lot for me Nik and they always will. I grieve for your family also and I pray for them. I know that God has a BLACK AND WHITE CAMARO up there just for you Nik. Thanks for everything from your friend in Tipton Officer Jon Moore #353 and Altus #61.
