Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hi Mike. Celebrated your niece's 14th Birthday today. She never met you as she was born after we lost you. Of course we talked about you at the dining room table and the things you and your two brothers did as kids and teenagers to drive me and your mother crazy. It will be 15 years in 5 months. Losing you has taken its toll on us, physically and mentally. It didn't have to happen and shouldn't have. I read somewhere that when you lose your parents you are called an orphan. If you lose a wife or husband you are called a widow or widower. When you lose a child it is so horrible that we do not have a word for it. How true. Love and miss you every day. Keep watch over everyone for me.

Love,
Dad

I left a reflection on Christmas Night, I must have done something wrong as it didn't make it here so I'll try again. Was our 15th Christmas without you being with us. I still remember you playing video games with the kids and you never liked to be video taped. I have very little footage of you as you were always camera shy. Been a long road without you with us. You children have grown up, but continue to keep watch over them. Cullen is a clone of you. Everyone that sees him says he is your twin. He is taller than you and you were 6'5. Love and miss you everyday. We will never let you be forgotten.

Love,
Dad

Hi Officer Gordon,
I never met you but my father is CPD (out of 011) and I’m positive he knew you. He keeps your picture in his uniform hat. After you passed, every year we would visit your grave and leave something, like a Monster drink, on your headstone. We haven’t been in a few years but I will tell my father that we should visit soon! You will never be forgotten! Rest in peace hero!

Hi Mike, miss you every day. Your two sons are practically grown men. One is 6'6" the other is 6'7". Both love playing Rugby. Don't know where they got that from. They are doing well in College and I know you would be proud of them both. Each day I wake up is a gift for me, I'd trade places with you in a heart beat so you could be here for your family. So not fair to you that your life was cut short as it didn't have to happen. You take care. Keep watch over everyone for me. Love and miss you every day. Not a day goes by I don't think of you. Love. Dad

The day has arrived, 14 years without hearing that funny laugh of yours. Also miss your stories and practical jokes. A day has not passed that you were not in my thoughts. You have not been forgotten as my Facebook page is filled with tributes to you from family and friends. Later when I go out to the cemetery I know there will be articles left at your grave site. We all love and miss you. Please watch over the family for me.

Love,
Dad

Mike, It's been 14 years since you left us but you are never forgotten. Today you are remembered by family and friends not just because of your untimely death but because of the way you lived your life.

Love and miss you forever. Mom

The anniversary of your death draws closer I am reminded of the sacrifices those in law enforcement make doing the job they love. Not only sacrificing your life for your brothers and sisters in blue, but also sacrificing so many holidays working instead of with your families. Although I have never met you I know of you because of the kind words of your dad. I see that he leaves so many reflections for so many officers. Unfortunately he understands how it is to lose someone you love in the line of duty. But he keeps your memory alive, not only in the words he leaves for you here, but with the kind words that he leaves for others. Rest easy brave soul. Though you are missed dearly, your sacrifice, and that of your family has not gone unnoticed. Thank you and your family for their service.

Had your nephew Alec's 8th grade graduation party yesterday. He only knows you from what we have told him. He was 7 months old when we lost you. Time has passed so quickly when you look back, but not as you live through each day. Soon it will be 14 years and it feels like a lifetime. Not a day goes bye that you are not in my thoughts, miss you. Please keep watch over everyone for me.

Love

Memorial Day weekend is here and all the war movies will be on all weekend. How you loved to watch them all. One of your dreams, besides being a police officer since you were very young, was to be a soldier. I think of all the times you would talk me in to taking you to the military stores and you would buy patches and ribbons. I even found you and old Marine trunk that you were so excited about when I brought it home. All your collectables are still in that chest. Even after almost 14 years I still have tears as you are truly missed. Keep watch over the family for me as I'm starting to slow down with age. Losing you took a toll on me. Love and miss you every day.

Love,
Dad

Dear Mike...I couldn't light a virtual candle for my brother...without lighting one for you too...on this 30th Annual Candlelight Vigil of the NLEOMF. So know that I did...and that you are not forgotten by me.

As you keep watch over your dear family...may God bless you...with peaceful rest in His perpetual light.

You and your family...are remembered in my prayers...always.

Haven't been here in awhile, but I think of you every day and through out the day. Like today, I was looking for something in the garage and I opened a bin and there was the little baseball glove and ball you bought your son not long before you were killed. It was his first glove and ball. I saved them and want to eventually place it into a shadow box for him. I would have gladly traded places with you so you could have been here to see your children grow up, so unfair. Please watch over everyone for me, love and think of you all the time.

Love,
Dad

I know you are loved…thought about…and are missed…by your parents…siblings…and your children…each and every day.

God bless you…and your dear family...as you keep close watch over them.

Rest peacefully...knowing that...You are not forgotten!

Mike,
Here we are on your EOW date, doesn't get any easier as time goes on. My Facebook page is alive with postings and photographs of you and friends that have stopped in to pay their respects. I went to the cemetery with Mom and there was a bunch of empty Guinness Beer bottles on your marker, but also One left for you with a Shot of Jameson Scotch. Flowers left as they are every year from the First Watch at the 11th District. A Cup of Coffee from Krullman who stopped by. You have not been forgotten by those that love you and care about all of us. Please keep watch on your Children, protect them from harm. Also your two brothers and your Mom. Love and miss you.

.Love,
Dad
