Reflections for Patrol Officer Trey Michael Hutchison

Remembering the Hutchison family during the Christmas season. It is so hard to endure the holidays after a loss of a loved one. Just remember that God gave his son for us and endured a great loss for which we now can celebrate eternal life if we know Jesus. Trey too gave his life to protect us, and now he is with the Father in Heaven having the most wonderful Christmas of all.

with Prayers and Love

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM HEAVEN

I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
on cold wintry nights

I still share your hopes
and all of your cares
I"ll even remind you
to please say your prayers

I just want to tell you
you still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
above all the crowd

Keep trying each moment
to stay in his grace
I came here before you
to help set your place

You don"t have to be
perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
If you continue the climb

To my family and friends
please be thankful today
I"m still close beside you
In a new special way

I love you all dearly
now don"t shed a tear
cause I"m spending my
Christmas with Jesus this year

Tomorrow will be four months since you left us. It definitely doesn't feel any easier, and it still doesn't feel real. Clay and I think about you constantly. I remember all those times I would get Jessica to ride with you and I would ride with Clay, but she would have to go home because you made her carsick. I love to remember all those fun times! Trey you made us better people; you made Clay a better husband, and me a better wife. We are just two people who were blessed by your life. Thank you for all you did and all you continue to teach me. We miss you.

Hutch,
I was thinking about you today, I don’t believe a day goes by that I don’t think about your funeral. Of all the pomp and circumstance and of all the honors bestowed on you by your Department, what moved me the most were the lines of people along the funeral procession to the cemetery. I was most overcome with emotion when I saw a small child holding a hand made sign that said, “We miss you Officer Hutchison.”
We still have your picture on the Dispatch office. It serves as a memorial and a reminder of your sacrifice. Please watch over us as you patrol the streets in heaven.

To The family of OFFICER HUTCHINSON

I am sorry for your loss. My whole life or for as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a cop. And knowing that a thing like this could happen gives me the strength to continue on with my dream. I did not know Officer Hutchinson, but I'm sure that he did his job every day with pride an joy. And I know that he is still showing that pride walking his beat in the streets of heaven.

Friend,

I remember the time I was your ride-a-long as you were protecting the streets of Lufkin. We ended up in a vehicle persuit, I got so excited and scared but I remember you being so calm and determined. It seemed as if you had no worries, just sheer determination. You taught me so much about the kind of Officer I wanted to be. I remember the morning I found out the tragic news, I went to my wife and cried. Trey, I want you to know that you were a dear friend of mine. Everyone says that GOD has reasons for doing the things that he does, but I can't help but to ask, What was the reason for this? Jessica my prayers are with you from now until forever...... GOD BLESS.....

My dear friend,
It seems like yesterday that you were riding with me. We at the department miss you, and your warm smile so very much. You have made such an impact in my life, since I have known you. I was one of Trey's field training officers, but Trey taught me so much more about life. Trey taught me to be a better man. Trey had a great love for his family and I admired their relationship. Trey was a great officer, but a better friend to all that knew him. Trey was always polite and professional to the citizens of Bossier City. To the Hutchison family , we will never forget you, and our prayers are always with you. My dear brother, God bless you and we will see each other again, when called home.

Not knowing why this happened is the hardest thing of all but knowing that Trey is safe and with God is comfort.
To the family of Trey you are all in my prayers. God bless!

The Hutchinson family, our condolences are to you all. We shared evenings out with Trey and his lovely wife. He was a joy to know. You truly are a "HERO", and the wind beneath our wings. Our only comfort in this tragedy is to know you are safe now and in a better place. Love to you and your family.

To my precious Trey...I love you and I will miss you. I will always help your Mom and your Grammy try to think about all the good things and not the bad things....Cause you gave them so many good times to remember. The last time I cut your hair, you told me you wanted to be the Sherriff some day. I told you,
"Trey, knowing you ,,,,you will be some day." And you said "I will". Well, my little sweetie...I know you are the Sheriff of Heaven.

I just heard this horrible news this past weekend. Trey, though we worked different shifts, and seldom talked during my time with Lufkin, I do remember, you generally had a smile on your face and something nice to say. I had always thought highly of you. I am so shocked & saddened. God bless you, your family,and each of us that knew you and are better for it.

Everyday I think about Trey and wonder why something like this had to happen to such a wonderful human being. My heart is in agony mainly for the ones he left behind. Trey's family is absolutely the most wonderful family I have ever been around in my life and I know that anyone who has ever met them would agree with me. It only makes me think that the Lord knew that they would be able to handle this and that because they are such a wonderful, loving, christian family that they would get through this difficult time. I love you Trey, Luke loves you, your mom and dad love you, and Jess loves you! I know that he knows how much he really meant to the people here on earth and now we all have a handsome angel watching over us. A day will not go by that people will ever forget our wonderful God given hero, Officer Trey Michael Hutchison.

September 11, 2004

I still cannot believe this has happened. The other morning at 545 am we were sitting in the report room telling funning stories and waiting for six to get here. Another "Hutch" story came up. We got to laughing so hard, and for a brief moment, I actually thought this was all a bad dream. You will not be forgotten.

To the Hutchison family,
Trey was a great guy who will be missed by all even those who did not know him because they knew what he did everyday and the chances he took to protect them and for that alone I would hope all would respect him and not just him but all of the brothers and sisters in blue who take those chances everyday I stood at the hospital when he was brought in I stood in silence and cried knowing another good man has fallen doing what he loved and what he did best as I heard the cries of family and those closest to him I could not help but thinking for a while that if giving my own life could bring him back to his Mother,Father,Sibling and bring Jessica's husband back to her I would do it just to know they would no longer have to feel the pain I have felt so many times before from losing family members of my own because I know they hurt I hurt aswell the day Officer Trey Hutchison of the Bossier City Police Department was called home to patrol the golden streets of Heaven rest in peace now Trey Jessica hang in there hon the pain will not go away this is true but it does get easier and you still truely do have an angel there protecting you my thoughts and prayers will always remain with you and all of his family to all involved I am sorry
God Bless You All, "Hunter"

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 Officer Hutchison 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.

As I reflect on the tragic events of August 11, 2004 I feel it is necessary to convey my gratitude to the Bossier City Police Dept for the commitment you have made to helping others and responding to calls that you have no idea what you are getting yourselves into when you answer that call. I know some of you on a personal basis and I think that you already know that my family and I appreciate everything that you do to keep us all safe everyday that you head out to work.This tragedy will live with us all forever and I hope that the community will see that you really are the GOOD GUYS in uniform. Thank you all for being there for us when we need you. YOU ARE ALL HEROES TO ME. And I want to convey my deepest sympathies to all of you on the loss of a fallen brother. May God watch over all of you. Trey Hutchison will remain in our hearts forever.

The loss of Trey leaves an emptiness in my heart and the heart of my family. Only God knows why he was taken at such and early age, but I find comfort in knowing that he's in a much better place. Trey and my sister had the kind of relationship that everyone strives to have. The love they felt for each other has no borders. He was truly her soulmate! Trey was the favorite uncle to my children and knew just how to talk to them and get on their level. That will never be forgotten, because to my kids he will always be their Uncle Trey! He always had the biggest smile on his face with those cute dimples. I've never heard him say a bad word about anyone! He made me want to be a better person. While the sadness of Trey's death will always leave a void in my sisters heart, she will always know she has a guardian angel watching over her! Trey's passion was to be a police officer and now he's patrolling the best beat around in heaven. We love you and we'll miss you Trey!

Sister-in-law of Trey Hutchison

August 25, 2004

For as long as I can remember there has been a rival between SPD and BCPD. On August 11th, none of that seemed to matter. Though the rivalry will always be there, to Ofc. Hutchison and the rest of the officers of BCPD my heart as well as every officer who rides the street will be with you.

We all feel the punch wherever these incidents occur, but this one in particular hit harder for it was right in our own hometown. I never knew Trey, but from the reflections and talking to other brothers and sisters you were one of the best. I had the opportunity to volunteer and ride patrol for BCPD the day of the funeral and I have never felt more part of a brotherhood/sisterhood. In my own way I shed a tear to know that on August 14th you laid to rest one of your very own.

To Mrs. Hutchison and other family members: Thank you for sharing your husband's/son's life with my brothers/sisters of BCPD. It's not fair that any of you have to feel the hurt you do. Know this; that God's heaven is protected by another fine officer who awaits our visit one day.
