My heart aches with each name added. Bryan Hurst in his last actions reflect the trueness and purity of a Police Officer at his finest. God Bless You Bryan and all those that know and love you.

We will remember you as we do all those who fall.

At the beginning of every shift I supervise, myself and the other officers on shift dedicate the day to the memory of a fallen officer.

Tonight, January 7, 2005 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Police Officer Bryan Hurst who died in the line of duty just yesterday.

When one law enforcement officer falls, we all stumble for a while, but we will carry on.

Officer Hurst's sacrifice will never be forgotten.

To all Family, Friends, and Co Workers of this Officer:

On Behalf of myself, and the Family of Police Officer Daniel Starks (Ft Myers Fl, E/O/W 10-25-03) we want you to know that you are all in our prayers! The Lord will sustain you as you go through this difficult, and trying time, but just remember your loved one is being cared for in Heaven, and is now eternally safe. We hope that you all remain as strong as possible, and know that we are all thinking of you. No words are quite ever adequate, but Police Officers make the ultimate sacrifice everyday, and our hope, and prayer is that they will always be remembered for their heroic efforts, and kind hearts.
Blessings Always,

Rest in Peace, brother.

I never thought it would be me, My name for all of eternity. Recorded here at this hallowed place, Alas, my name, no more my face. "In the line of duty" I hear them say, My family now the price to pay. My folded flag stained with tears, We only had those few short years. The badge no longer on my chest, I sleep now in eternal rest. My sword I pass to those behind And pray they keep this thought in mind. I never dreamed it would be me. And with a heavy heart and bent knee, I ask for all here from the past... Dear God, let my name be the last.

Your family will be in our prayers.
