Bryan,
I want you to know that you are not forgotten. Every day when I wake up I put a memorial band on my wrist to remember what you gave up so others may live. I ask that you watch over all of us who are trying to become a police officer and those who already are. I know it can be dirty work but someone has to do it. Thanks again. and God Speed!

Bryan,

Unfortunately, Donnie and I had to break our tradition Saturday. But, it didnt keep me from toasting one in your honor. I did however, have one with your brother. Regardless, we won and amazingly Michigan lost. We all miss you and hopefully I'll see you on the 8th.

Rest in peace brother, we'll get it from here.

Bryan-
I was thinking of you today - first game of the season. I guess I was reflecting a bit today and thoughts came to you. I just wanted to say that you are not forgotten and that your memory and what you did for all of us that day will never fade. The Bucks won! Rest softly hero!

Hi Bryan
There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you or remember what you did for us that day.
I read your reflections everyday and it amazes me the people that didn't even know you, but still love you.
You were(are)an amazing man and I am so proud to tell people that I was your friend.
I read a reflection from someone that recently opened an account at 5/3 and he wrote that your picture is proudly displayed in the lobby of Canyon Center. Your picture was put there for that very reason, so that everyone that walked thru that door would know what you did (the sacrifice that you made) that day.
Patrolman E. Davidson from Whitehall PD recently wrote in a reflection stating that he really didn't know you but wished that he did.
I left 5/3 for reasons that you know and I now work in White hall ( Kemba Credit Union ) and I would love to tell Davidson and everyone else that wants to know you, what a good (amazing) man you were.
THANK YOU for your service to this country, to the citizens of Columbus,Ohio and especially to the employees of 5/3 Bank Canyon Center. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here to write this.
Always thinking of you
Love Angie

Never got to know you, although I feel like I do. I've heard so many stories from your friends. It seems like yeterday that I heard the news. I was standing in a long line, getting really irritated...minding my own grumpy business. Then it came. A report came across the TV and stopped me in my tracks. In a daze, I walked towards the TV in daze. A few days after that, I was standing in attention at your funeral. Although I was in uniform and in formation, saluting you....several tears rolled down my face. RIP Officer Bryan Hurst CPD #2057

hard to beleive how fast time goes by....seems like just yesterday we were all in the academy wondering what our future had in order for us? everything happens for a reason, but its hard at times to believe why some people live through their incidents and others do not, I still havent figured that one out.? Even though I wasnt as close to you as some were, I was still blessed to not have been a stranger and to have had the chance to get to know you, you always made me laugh, your a good dude!Keep an eye on on the rest of your brothers and sisters still actively fighting on the streets!

Hi Bryan.
It's been a while since I have written.
Please don't think that I have forgotten you. I will never forget that day and I will never forget you.
I've been reading all of your reflections. You were loved by so many people, and I am one of them. I just wish that I would have told you while you were still here. That is a mistake that I will never make again. I hope that you felt my love in the end.
Until we meet again,
Keep us safe from up above
Love You

There are those of us who do think of you every single day. We check this site daily to hear more wonderful things about you. Please keep watch over all of your family and your CPD family. I know personally that you are never far from their thoughts and prayers either.

August 15, 2007

I was told once that after a awhile people don't leave reflections like they use to and that people heal and move on, I want you to know no matter how long you are gone I will never forget you!! You are and always will be a HERO!!
I pray Malia will know what a special father she had and a beautiful guardian angel she has.

Bryan,

In my office I have your picture at my desk. I think about once a day someone comments who is 2057 or how do you know Bryan? I wish I really did know you. All, I can comments is he is my guardian Angel. I did not ever meet him he just saved my life. When I think about what happen I am not sure how I am still here. I like to think everything happens for a reason. But, then I think that's just a bunch of sh** to make me feel better. Truth is I don't think I will ever feel better until I get to meet you one day. Until we meet I will always remember what you did for us. Thank you.

August 12, 2007

I still pray for you all the time!!!!!! I feel sad that
reflections are far inbetween, but know that there are some
of us that will never forget what you did and some of us that will always keep you in our hearts!

I moved to Columbus (from NY) just one year ago, and started to do business at the bank on East Broad Street where you were killed. The first time I went in, I saw your picture on the wall while waiting in line. When I got to the counter I asked the teller who you were and she told me the tragic story. Since then, whenever I go to the bank, I look toward your portrait and say a prayer for you, your dear family, and your fellow Officers. God grant you eternal peace. Thank you for your selfless service.

Just got orders for 3 weeks reserve duty at MCB Quantico Provost Marshals Office. I'm sure I'll run into some old JarHeads who served with you. I read on a reflection that Gunny Kartune was your former roomate. He was an instuctor for Marine Corps Det Lackland Tx when I went through Corrections School. Man the Corps is a small word. "Once a Marine, always a Marine. Semper Fi devil dog!

Bryan,

Malia will be 3 next week. I can't believe it. She has grown so fast. I still picture in my mind the last time I saw you holding her. Your eyes just lit up as you picked her up out of my arms. Her eyes lite up just like yours. She is a beautiful little girl, but I know you know that and see it. I still think of you everyday and I will never stop thinking about you. Your life and sacrifice remind me I too need to leave a legecy. Thanks Bryan.

Hi Bryan
Thanks for taking care of your brothers and sisters during Red, White & Boom. I worry about them all of the time but on July 3rd and New Years Eve I worry even more. They seem to be the 2 worst nights of the year. As you already know, I quit 5/3 Bank and you know the reasons why. At first they were all about the support and then they just wanted it to go away. They want to pretend that it didn't happen. I wish that it didn't happen either but it did and there isn't anything that can change it. I could write about 10 pages about them, but I don't need to because you already know. Heather was right, everything that they said was a lie.
Anyway, you have a new job now. You need to take care of Gina and her family. Please keep Alexis safe and return her to the only home that she knows. I have to go for now but I'll write soon.
Love You Always

I celebrate you with every American flag I see proudly displayed. You represent what freedom, dignity, honor, respect, and loyalty are all about. I am certain you have seen all the bad PR the Canton police have received lately. I take the opportunity to thank each officer I know for protecting me and my community. Happy 4th of July, Bryan. You are never ever forgotten.
Love,

Happy 4th of July. I think I am going to try to go see the fireworks this year. It will be the first time since the robbery. I went one year and as soon as I heard teh fireworks start going off it was horrible. All, I could see was the bank in my eyes. I could not handle hearing all of the loud sounds. It made me think I was back in the bank. Hopefully tonight I will be able to enjoy the fireworks. Thanks Bryan and I will be thinking about when I see the fireworks. I am so lucky. Thanks=)

I remember reading about your passing 2 years ago and wondering how someone could do this. I now go to Ohio State and I transferred to work at a store that happens to be at East Broad Street and this morning we went to the bank and I learned that it was the bank where this tragedy occurred. My manager tells me it's a whole new staff there now since you've been gone, but your picture is proudly hung on the wall in uniform and there's a memorial on the doors. I hope to go into the Columbus academy soon, so hopefully all is well for you up there and keep a good look out for me down here!

The academy had their graduation today. While I was there I bought my 2007 Memorial shirt and thought of you as I do whenever I put on one of those shirts. We never met, but we have a lot in common. From one Steelers fan to another, RIP.

Happy Father's Day, Bryan! I know you look down from heaven and see how incredibly bright and beautiful Malia is. She has an amazing vocabulary and is quite a singer. She knows so many songs by memory and has quite a sense of humor. She has your skin...nice and tan already with bikini lines. Please know I cherish your memory when I look at your pictures in my office. Continue to watch over us. You are never forgotten, Bryan! Your badge number is proudly displayed on my car and on my office window.

Two shining eyes at rest,
