Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Sir,
I never really got to meet you, but I know you knew my mom and she talked to you on my behalf on becoming a Police Officer.
It is an honor to have men and women such as yourself serve and protect communities all across the nation so selflessly.
You, and those like you are the reasons I want to become a Police Officer.
Thank You, Sir.
And I hope to one day be able to have the honor of calling myself a Policeman.

I have to agree that the "boy" who took you away from us will never be considered a man. How could he? Men take responsiblity for the actions they do and the consequences that occur. I got angry all over again when I read that he had the nerve to file a lawsuit. If only..... Well on a happier note, we are having a boy! So please keep watching over us and know that we miss you so much every single day and that will never change.

I am absolutely sickened to read that the "boy" (for he can be considered a 'man' by no one) who caused your death has found it in himself to sue for his own injuries....Has he no shame? Evidently not.

My heart breaks for you wife, your family and your police family once again. I will continue to pray for all who know and love you. It is the least I can do.

Gary:

I knew you so long ago. Before you were a police officer. When you were cleaning offices in the evenings. I worked at a law firm that you cleaned. You were always so kind..so sweet. You were never let me walk out to my car at night. You were worried about the 18 year old girl being unsafe. It was always appreciated. Even back then, it was easy to see the type of person you would be in the future. God bless...I'll never forget you.

Hey Gary

Well AJ and Danielle had the baby yesterday. He is gorgeous. Thanks for helping him get down here safely. I know that you took care of him while he was up with you waiting to come and grace us with his presence. Could you do me a favor? Keep a watch on our little one. He/She isn't due until September. Not a day goes by that I don't thnk about you and what if. There will always be a piece of my heart that will be broken. You were an amazing person. I miss you so much.

Gary, I'm thinking about you right now. Seems like yesterday that I would see you with that goofy Forest Gump smile on your face that could melt the hardest of hearts.

I am so sorry about the outcome of the trial. I am sorry for your wife and that she has to go on without you and go on knowing that justice was not served. Now she protects the very people out there that could do such a thing and get away with it.

I won't go on about that though.

I miss you every day. I hope to see you again someday up there in the sky. I'm flying now (wish you could have been here to know I got this new job) but I feel that when I'm in the air that I am a little bit closer to heaven and closer to you.

Rest in peace old friend. You are not forgotten.

Your friend,
DG

My condolences go out to the family and friends of Officer Davis after enduring the great tragedy that occurred and also to extend my disappointment at that conclusion of the criminal trial. From reading this memorial and watching the trial on television, a great officer and person was lost.

Officer Davis,
As I sit in my office watching the Court TV trial coverage of the charged suspect I take time to thank you of your service and dedication. You gave your all, brother rest in peace and guide over all of us and see that we make the end of our shifts every day we work.

Gary, my friend, I'm thinking about you a lot this early AM.

I awoke @ 2:00AM with you and Nikki weighing heavy on my heart.

You aren't forgotten, nor is the horrible verdict that was handed down during the trial.

I love you ya know. Your memory is very alive in this household. My husband and myself still share vivid memories of you and your wife alike.

We miss you Gary.

Well...This weekend has been as bad as May 13, 2004. I sat in the courtroom on Friday and felt like I was living that horrible day all over again. Drunk Driving. That is all that he got! I cannot describe the overwhelming amount of numbing that occurred. It almost felt like a dream that no one could wake up from. I have to agree with Chuck on this one. Is God testing our faith? I feel like my heart has broken all over again. We all miss you so much. People may think that I am crazy, but I feel you come and visit from time to time. I felt you in the courtroom on Friday, just like I felt you pop in and say Hello on my wedding day. You are truly one in a million Coop and none of your friends and family will ever forget that. Please continue to watch over us and be one of our Angels! We love you and miss you so much!

Gary,
Although I didn't work with you I have heard many great things about you. I think of you often especially when I am working that stretch of I-75. When I heard the verdict yesterday all I could say was "and???" the jury convicted him of OWI and?? And the answer was that is it. Just plain OWI. It makes me both angry and sad. I don't understand, and I probably never will understand the logic behind the verdict. However, I know the guys that presented the prosecution worked as hard and as diligently as humanly possible.

I just want you to know you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace. You and Nicki will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Gary,

Think of you every day. Today (10-6-'05),was almost as bad as May 13th '04.
Please give God a message for us. If he is testing our faith? It won't work!
We'll have faith till the end that all this will work out in honor of your life.
Please let me know what more I can do.
Thanks for getting me together with your best friends. Because of you, we grow closer and help each other stay strong.
In honor of you both, we'll carry on the good fight and support your loved one's with integrity and continued faith.
Try not to worry about Nicole as I am sure she is staying very strong and Your Family and best Friends are supporting her as much as possible.
I miss you my brother.

It is storming like crazy today. You have been on my mind today and I thought that writing to this site is almost like writing to you. Miss you so much Gary. You have no idea. Please keep watching over Dick. You are doing a great job and I cannot thank you enough. Waiting until September to hopefully let some of this pain get resolved. Love you!

Gary, it's been a year and 5 days since you've been gone. I still miss typing you on the mdc's. You are sorely missed by myself and Gaby and even though you didn't get to meet him baby Aidan. We talk to Nicki all the time and she is being tough for you. Even as I write this it brings tears to my eyes. I can't believe that you are gone. I hope that you are watching over us, and know that a day doesn't go by that we don't think of you. We miss you terribly. Know that you will never be forgotten and that Gaby, Aidan & myself promise you to never let Nicki be alone. Take care and keep us all safe, we will see you one day up there.

Coop,

I can't believe that an entire year has gone by. Seems like just yesterday we got the call at 5:00am, leaving us both crying. We continue to pray for you, Nicki and your family. Please continue to watch over the BTPD officers I know they miss you so much. We sure missed camping with you and Nicki last year, it would have been such a great time. Godspeed Coop.
