We will always remember Steve. It is still hard to believe he is not with us but thinking about him brings a smile to my face. Thanks for the memories brother.

Tomorrow is the day of your Memorial Ride, Steve. It's one more occasion to remind us of what a dedicated Officer you were, and how honored all of us were to have served with you. I am sorry to say that I won't be on the ride this year as I sold my bike and haven't yet gotten another, but I'll be with them in spirit and thinking of you.

Your Friend,
Don

It will be 2 years that you were called away. I'm sure many tears have fallen by those that love you and they keep asking why as you had so much left here for you to do. You dedicated your life to the law enforcement community and for that I thank you. You set an example for all officers to follow. Keep watch over your loved ones and those still out on patrol. You are a true hero and will never be forgotten.

Brother Phillips,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue

My good buddy Ron Ives was killed on 09/01/04 while on duty as a motor officer in Rancho Cucamonga. I remember talking to him before he died and your death came up as conversation about concerns in riding a motor. Ron said that when he was instructing a motor class he took the entire class to the scene of your crash to address safety concerns and pay homage to you. Rest in peace and say hi to Ron for me.

At the beginning of every shift I supervise, myself and the other officers on shift dedicate the day to the memory of a fallen officer.

Today, January 29, 2005 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Police Officer Steven Phillips who died in the line of duty on this date one year ago.

When one law enforcement officer falls, we all stumble for a while, but we will carry on.

Officer Phillips’ sacrifice will never be forgotten.

A year has almost gone by and it seems that we have grown closer as a family. I know that the thoughts I have are fewer and I feel guilty not to have more thoughts of Steve. Yet, as I look back my prayers are for Sandy. It has been a great help to have his memorial braclet on the desk, to look at it and then ask God to give You (Sandy) comfort and a wonderful memory of Steve. May this year be filled with more joyous memories and less thoughts of lonelyness.

God Bless You and
All the Family at WPD

Just wanted you to know that we will never forget you, Officer Phillips, you are a true hero. To the family, you are in my prayers I know the next couple of days will be just as hard as the rest of them without Steven. You will miss him everyday, but we will never forget him.
We are thinking of you...

To the family of Officer Phillips,
I lost my nephew 9/12/04 in the line of duty, in Kern County, CA. It was then I became aware of this website. You are in my prayers. It's an awesome job, one that at sometimes seems thankless. But, I'm sure, like my newpew Dan Archuleta, it was his calling. My heart goes out to you. With sincere gratitude, Patsy

To the family of Steven Phillips. My brother-in-law was with WPD for many years. We just on Sept 12th lost our son in the line of duty. He was a Deputy with Kern Co. We live in a neighboring city and prayed for your family. My heart and prayers are with you all.

We all come to this page because we are part of one big family - a family that loves together, prays together and grieves together.

Our son recently lost his partner, and until that fateful day, we were not aware of this site. Now we check it daily. We want you to know that our prayers and thoughts are for you and your loved ones. We grieve over the lives lost in the line of duty. I hope you can find some comfort knowing that there are countless prayers that go out for your family.

God bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great nation.

Here is a special prayer for you:

Give eternal rest to them, O Lord,
Whose souls have taken flight.
And lead them to a better world
Where there is peace and light.
Grant them eternal freedom
From conflict, war, and care,
And fulfill for them Thy prophecy,
There shall be no night there.

Pray for us from above. We love you, son.

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003).

We all grieve over the lives lost in the line of duty. I hope you can find some comfort knowing that there are countless prayers that go out for your family.

These are senseless tragedies that never seem to stop. God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

I met Steve briefly in 1990 when on a ride-along in his unit courtesy of the Westminster Police. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his death, my condolences to his family and his fellow officers.
