Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

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.

Tonight, January 31, 2005 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Sergeant Keith Ferguson 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.

Sgt. Ferguson's sacrifice will never be forgotten.

I was hard for me to deal with your passing Boss. All I can think about is when you stopped by to celebrate my wife's baby shower. I still have the footage of you and the guys stopping by. I miss the laughs, the foot pursuits, the collars and just the comaraderie that the 67 Conditions Unit shared. You will always be missed but never forgotten.

Dear Sergeant Ferguson,

We lost you in the prime of your life while you were trying to help others. You are in our prayers, dear one. May your wings fly you high.

Now you can take some of that vacation that you had built up. Don't forget us down here. It is a difficult place to live. Please look over us daily and pray for us. We love you and we will meet someday.

Thank you for everything.

To me the most impressive thing about Sgt. was that he was running to the aid of another officer after leaving his car in traffic to get to his officer quicker. Sgt. truly died a hero!

Keith Ferguson was propelled by love. He loved his family, friends, his job and his country. Although, his time with us was breif we are comforted in knowing how much of a difference his life made to so many people. Keith had a deep desire to help and protect people. He was definitely a peson full of unconditional love. Keith was unique because he was truly a good person. We are all proud of him, because he was true to himself and everyone he knew. Now we can think of Keith and smile, because his memory will be a continued blessing to all that knew him. We would like to thank everyone for their prayers and thoughts.
We are especially, uplifted by the spirit of brotherhood from the NYPD, officers throughout the country and all over the world.

Sincere Thanks

Keith, i just found this site after all this time looking. I talked to you almost every day while you were in Austraila. I miss you so much there is not a day that i don't think about you and how great of a man you were. Your parents did a great job and produced a great man. I got your card in the mail 3 weeks after you passed and I was in shock but to whoever found it and mailed it i thank them from the bottom of my heart. I talked to Keith 2 hours before he passed and almost every day before that. He is greatly missed and my prayers are out to his family. I love you I didn't get the chance to tell you in life so I know you hear me now. Rest in peace honey i will be there to meet you next lifetime.

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.

It's been almost 20 years since we graduated. We were like brothers, all of us. I know wondered what became of each other, but we were to caught up in our careers to find one another. If I had searched for you just 2 months earlier, I would have been able to tell you this in person. I, and your other brothers from "CFS" will miss you dearly. and you have helped us all to remeber the importance and value of true friendship. As I read more about your life, I am so proud of you. It appears you stayed true to yourself. You always lived life to the fullest. You and yours will forever be in my prayers.

Keith, we met 4 years ago on the internet and became such great friends. When we spoke on January 29 and you were talking about meeting me in Vegas, I laughed thinking you had so much vacation time, I was jealous. You said you would call me when you got home and tell me about your trip and to catch up with me. When I didn't hear from you, I knew something was wrong. You always did what you said!! You were a man of your word, a true kind hearted gentleman. I didn't know what to do so I searched online, hoping I would not find your name anywhere, but when it came up Sergeant Keith Ferguson, my heart dropped. As I read the stories about you, I was in shock, as was all of your family and friends. I wish so many times I could have spoken to you one last time to hear your cheerful voice. To hear me ask you how are you and you reply if I were any better I'd be twins. New York lost an outstanding officer that day. And I lost a great friend whom I loved dearly. I send my condolences to your family, your brother, your mother and your father, all of whom you spoke to me about often. And to all the rest of your family. I wish I had known earlier so I could have been with you the last day you were here with us.

I love you Keith!! I'll never forget you.

Keith,
You were my best friend for several years. I guess words can't express how I really feel. Although I never had a brother, you were the closest thing to it. The hardest thing for me is that I didn't get a chance to say good-bye. They say that the Good Lord doesn't make any mistakes but I think this time He got a good one. Hopefully one day I'll get a chance to see you again and then I'll put you in a head- lock. May God Bless you and your family.
Your Buddy,
Mike Boyd

Please remember the fallen officers we have lost. Remember the men and women who died trying to make this world a safer and better place for us all to live in. Thank you Sergeant Ferguson for a job well done. Please continue to watch over us and protect us as only you can. You will forever be at our side and in our hearts.

For those of you who still have loved ones with us please take the time to tell them how much you appreciate and care about them.

IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

Although we never had a chance to meet, we shared a common goal.
To make the world a better place, but now it's taken a toll.
Now I say to you in words of a prayer, I will remember what you've done.
Your death was the ultimate in sacrifice, how tragic that you're gone.
One day we'll meet and talk about our common goal and then,
The heartache that I 'm feeling now, will no longer have to mend.

G'day Keith,
I cannot tell you how shocked and upset both Lisa and I were on learning of your passing. What made this even more difficult to comprehend was the fact that you stayed with us in Sydney only weeks earlier where you were in good spirits. You will be greatly missed, not only by us, but by all your mates here in Australia. Your family will always be in our thoughts. Goodbye mate.
