Reflections for Patrol Officer Trey Michael Hutchison

We're still remembering your smiling face, Trey. 2 years have gone by and though many of us have gone on to continue our everyday normal lives, I continue to pray for your family and close friends who are forever changed.

Thinking of you today as your family re-lives that awful nightmare. You are all in our thoughts and prayers and we will continue to think of you often. My heart goes out to you all, especially mom, dad and Trey's wife. He is still with you, only you can't see him now. He's here with you in spirit. God bless all of you and may your every memory bring a smile instead of tears. Peace to all of you.

It seems like only yesterday.

To the family and loved ones of Officer Trey Hutchison and his fellow officers with the Bossier City Police Department:

On this the second anniversary of Trey's tragic death, I wanted to honor and remember him today. Although I never had the privilege of meeting Trey, I feel as if I know him through the loving reflections left by loved ones and friends. His valor and courage will never be forgotten.

To Wendy, I found it impossible to read your reflections to Trey without tears streaming down my face. I share your anquish as another mother who has lost their precious baby, because no matter how old they are or how heroic there deeds, they will always be our precious babies.

I hope that God is holding Trey in the sweetest part of his heart and the most gentle part of his soul.

I am so sorry that Trey was robbed of his life so young and so tragically, but through his heroism and the profound sense of duty with which he lived his life, he made an immeasurable difference. May his spirit continue to soar and may his memory continue to inspire.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Trey gave to his community and the citizens of Louisiana, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on August 11, 2004.

Trey,
It's been 2 years today and I wish I could say it's easier but it's not...I miss your smile, your laughter, your hugs...especially your hugs. I miss the way you would just drop in unexpectedly, or call just to see what was going on...I miss you! People keep saying that time will heal, but the wound left on our hearts will never be healed completely, until we can be with you again, until we can touch your face, hear your voice and laughter, and feel your presence once again and that time cannot come soon enough. There is so much that has changed in the short/long two years that you haven't been with us, we are all different people because you were in our lives and we are all different people because you were ripped out of our lives. We are forever better because we had you even for the short time we did. We sent you one of my birthday balloons yesterday and I found a "penny from heaven" today...please know that I will forever love you and forever honor the man you became.
All my love eternally, Mom

I recognized your name from "today in history" so I came to your page to check you out. Now I remember
you. You and my daughter were born only 2 months
apart. The reflections make me proud of you even tho
I didn't know you. But one day I'll meet you in heaven
and get to hear that famous laugh everyone mentions.
Just remember, time has not diminished your sacrifice.
I send my love to your Mom and wife and everyone else
who misses you. John 3:16.

They say that healing is a slow process. Even considering it has already been two years, I don’t think I’ve made much progress.

There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think of you. And this time of year only stands as a cruel reminder to just how long it’s been. Your time here was so short, and many have said it was such a waste to have so much potential taken away so tragically. But I’ve come to believe that you accomplished exactly what God planned for you to accomplish. Your legacy is how you lived, not how you died, and I hope you can see how many lives you’ve touched.

How many hours we spent, how many laughs we shared and what a connection we had. I believe there are people in this world that from the moment you meet them, you know it is the start of a special friendship. I took for granted that you knew you were my best friend, and since that terrible day, I have spent many miserable hours hoping you did.

I know you’re watching out for me, and I hope I’ve made you proud. I am a better person for having known you, and a better officer for your guidance and influence. Now I feel it’s my job to try and pass that on to others, and hopefully give them the confidence you gave me.

I’ll finish it for both of us, my friend…

I laughed about you today, everytime I get a little mad at one of the boys I think of you and how you'd always open the dispatch window and ask me that question you always asked. I used to get so mad at you. You'd be happy to know that the answer to the question now is "I already did" haha. I always wished we could have been friends but I guess we were better enemies. I loved you anyway though and I do miss you. I remember you when someone hurts me now and I don't let it get to me like I did with you. I never want to feel again like I did the day you died because of my feelings towards you. I miss you and partially because of you I'm a better person. I'm really glad we talked that last time when we had court together. Keep on guarding the pearly gates I'll be there for you to aggravate someday.

Just wanted you to know that we miss you around here and know that you are looking over all of us. Makes one feel good to know that such as yourself is there to look over us. Love ya man.

It has been 2 years since your were called away from duty and I know the many broken hearts left behind think of you every hour of every day. I'm sure being a policeman was a life long dream of yours and as parents we can not stop our children from reaching out and grabbing hold of their dreams. Some solace is that our sons died doing what they loved, being a "Cop." Every day is a real challenge for those left behind and all we can do is take one day at a time and keep your memory alive. You will never be forgotten by those that love you nor will the Blue Family ever let you be forgotten. Trey, you are a true hero and heroes never die. Keep watch over your loved ones.

"Always in our hearts
Always in our words
Forever young
Foever Blue
Our Guardian Angel."

Trey,
I have been dreading tomorrow all year. It will make two years since you left us. I can still feel all the emotions and pain that I felt that day. I can also remember how sick it made me...The weird thing is that I still feel that way! I try to keep in touch with your folks, and others that were important to you, but they are right when they say the world keeps turning! Unfortunately, it turns a little slower around this time of year. I miss you buddy, and can't wait until we see each other again. I'll keep praying for your family, and you keep watching over me and mine...deal?

There is not a day that goes by that you dont cross my mind! Everytime I walk into our communications center I am reminded of the price that you paid! I miss you so much! It has almost been two years since you were taken from us. It still hurts, I dont know that the pain will ever subside!

You will always be our "250", always our HUTCH, and you will NEVER be FORGOTTEN!

Love you and miss you --Mesha

Hey Trey,
It is nearly two years since that awful day when you were ripped away from us. There is still a big hole that will never be filled, because the only thing that can fill it is your shining smile, and loving and caring attitude, and helpful nature. I miss you more than ever! I think about you every day. I think about how much you would love having Luke and Britney back home. I miss the times when all of us would get together. I know Luke is having a rough time dealing with your loss, but you know he won't admit it or talk about it. Luke looked up to you more than you ever knew.
Your Mother and I recently became the legal guardians of an adorable 8-year old girl from Honduras. She would have loved you, because you would have spent time with her and shown her love and affection. It's tough being parents of a young child all over again, but looking at how well you turned out, we must have done something right!
I miss my best friend!
Love,
Dad

Trey,
I continue to miss you & "what might have been"...your future, your successes, your goals & ambitions...I miss you more than words can even express...You died a "hero" to the rest of the world, but in our world & in my life you lived your life as a "hero." I think of you every day & cannot imagine what my life would have been without you...I heard a song tonight & imagined you with Grandaddy, Grandmother, & Papa, all walking, rejoicing & praising the Lord together...I cannot wait to be with you all...I hear your laughter & see your smile all around me & I thank the Lord for giving you to us even though it seemed for too short of a time to all of us...I love you eternally, Mom
To all who have left notes or reflections to all of us,
Thank you from my the depths of my heart. With the anniversary of loosing Trey just days away, I cannot tell you all how much it means to me & our family that you all have not forgotten...not just the sacrifice Trey made but more importantly the life he lived and the man he was to each of you...I love to read the stories, the memories & the thoughts you have to share. They are a great source of support & comfort to me. Thank you all for sharing your piece of Trey's life with me.
I thank all of you in law enforcement for the job you do everyday to protect and serve us...In order to honor Trey's life and dedication to his "calling in life," I must honor each of you...You all deserve much more respect, gratitude & recognition for the service you have been called to do in life...With much gratitude and love, Wendy, Trey's mom

Officer Hutchison,

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family, friends, and officers who I know were blessed to have had you in their lives. Though I did not know you you meant a lot to me. Thank you for your service. You will never be forgotten.

Hey Buddy...almost thought I could hear you laughing and talking in the Lieutenant's lobby. I thank God for him letting me be able to remember EXACTLY how you spoke...and more importantly LAUGHED! I know you had fun here, and sometimes I question why you felt you needed to leave?...I guess it was all a part of God's plan...and none of us can second guess why things happen the way they do. I want to thank you for the five and a half years of friendship, and also for all that you accomplished, achieved, and the lessons you taught us! We will see each other again, God promises us that!

Trey,
Just thinking about you buddy! I thought I'd pop in just to let you know. I think you already know what we are thinking and doing anyway, but it's nice to feel like we have a public forum to let everyone know how much you are loved and missed.
So many new guys are here now. It reminds me of when you started. It also makes me wish you were still here to help train them.
Anyway, just know that you live through us!! Love you buddy!
