Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Well, its been 4 years and 3+ months.. and they say time makes it easier... well, they didn't know us. I think of where we would be now, part of me laughs because that is just who we were and part of me cries because I miss you terribly. You were my best friend, my everything. We had big plans... plans that will never be. I know that you would just want me to be happy and Lord knows that I have tried. I had a dream about you today, you wanted me to pick up the pieces, to remember you but move on. It was so real Jake. Nobody will ever take your place, but I have met someone who is amazing, he makes me laugh (alot), he is a beautiful person. I haven't known him long, but I remember when we first met. We are just friends right now, but you never know. You and I were an uncanny pair and look at what we had :) He shares alot of my beliefs and values, he is amazing and I know that you would approve.
Jake, I will never forget you... but I must start another chapter. I love you, but I need to let go.
Love Always and always!

It is hard to believe that you would have been 36 tomorrow son. I often wonder how you would be and what you would be doing. Those kind of thoughts seem to pop into my mind quite often.

4 years and still seems like yesterday. I'm not sure why I go to this site everyday except to remember. Since you're death, I look at Police Officers in a very different way. It's real knowing that today could be there last. Crime is so high right now, My prayers go out to officers and their families. I still see your rememberance sticker on cars, I see that people remember. You were taken too early. God's Speed Jake.

For years ago today and your face is still fresh in my memory, as though I just saw you yesterday. We miss you so very much, and long for the day that we can meet again. You are not forgotten Jake. So many keep their memory of you so very much alive. Keep a watch over your loved ones, for they are the ones that need you so, at this moment.

On the 4th anniversary of Officer Laird’s death, we honored his service during roll call by reading his entry from ODMP. Each day, we honor one fallen officer on the anniversary of their death so as to keep them in our thoughts, and also to remind us of the dangers inherent in our job.

Officer Laird may be gone, but is not forgotten.

Hey Jake, well sweeite it's hard to believe that it has been 4 years now since you were taken from us. I stlll miss you though. I know your watching over us, and that makes me feel better. Adam Chappell did something in your honor a few weeks ago. He got our channel and ask for a "street sweeper" and I smiled and thought of you, since your the one that started that. And I know when you did that, your were being a smartie pants. But that was the Jake we all knew and loved. I'll go for now, but I'll be back. Just keep watching over us and know that your often in my thoughts.

Hey, I haven't been on here for a bit ... well to write anything anyway. I do visit this site often to see what others are writing to you. I have come to the conclusion that not only did you touch my life, but you have touched many others. It's no shock to me that you are missed by so many people. Sweetie, there is not a day that goes by that you don't run across my mind. I never thought I could miss anyone as much as I do you. And whoever said that time heals the pain ... well they must not have ever lost someone who was as important in their life as you were mine. I'm going to go for now ... but just know that I miss that awesome smile of yours and the way that you could always make things seem easier or right in my life. Miss you !!!!!

Nearly 4 years, and this is the first time I've wrote. What can be said? How do you try to sum it all up? You are so much more to me than words can ever describe. Always were. So much has changed, but the ache that I harbor over you never does. You were phenomenal. Still are-in my heart and mind. Miss you like crazy, forever greatful for everything you taught me, and every moment we spent together....xoxo

Summer is finally here! I was thinking about the state fair the other day... damn could you eat! I will go to the fair this year and pig out in honor of you :) I miss you! Time doesn't heal a broken heart, whoever said that never got the chance to love you!

i was sitting here at work, and in walks LT Jim Taylor. He used to eat at MCL all the time too, then come bug me at GNC. I told him the last time I saw him was at your funeral. Very bittersweet. He is enjoying his retirement, and had nice things to say about you. We miss you

im going through a very tough time right now and need you more than ever. please give me a sign to let me know you are with me. i miss you dearly.

i dont know what to say but that i cant wait for the day that i will be with you and dad again. i miss you both so much! i always have so much comfort in knowing that you died doing what you loved... and that is how i deal. but then there is dad... i never thought that he would go like he did. but the truth is that he really was never the same person after you were gone. he couldnt take it anymore. i try and have peace in knowing that he is with you and has no worries or stress, but its tough! love you both

I'm sitting here trying to get my girlfriend's son's new MP3 player we got him for Xmas. He wanted me to put the Tim Mcgraw song onto it and I finally got it to work only to realize that when I played it. That it was the tribute song that was made for you after you answered your passing. I haven't listened to this song in quite a while but it's amazing the impact just hearing it still has on me. We didn't really know each other all that well other than talking on the radio and the occasional visit @ dispatch. But I will never forget you and what you did for this city. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and hope you are keeping your ever watchful eye on the ones that need you the most and miss you the most during this time. God Speed and I hope to meet you again one day down the road.
