Gumper,

I don't know where the time has gone. Seems like just yesterday everything was OK. Over 2 years later and I am still a little lost and confused. Just going through the motions I guess. All is well here though. Kids and wife are great. I finally started my basement company. Wish you were here to do it with me. We could flood a couple more together.

Happy Birthday! Miss and love you you big loser.

Bryan-

It makes me feel good to read that others have not forgotten your sacrifice. I know that time tends to fade memories, but I don't want people to forget what you did for those inside 5/3 that day. When I see CPD cruisers, a lot of them don't even have your memorial sticker on them anymore, and it makes me sad.

Our daughter is doing awesome. She is becoming quite the little gymnast and dancer. I know you will be watching her at her first recital this spring. She loves living in the country. Every morning we look into the woods, and she tells me to watch for dinosaurs, because "they eat trees." She likes to tell people, especially strangers that "Apple juice gives me diaharrea." Nice, huh? She is a hoot.

We love you,
Marissa and Malia

Hey Bryan,

I came to this page of reflections because I was thinking of you. I didn't go on many runs with you, but the few I did, I truly hold near to my heart. I still remember waking up and turning on the news and hearing a Columbus Police Officer had been killed. Me, being a newer Officer, knew I didn't know many other Officers, it wouldn't be someone I knew. Then they said your name and showed a picture of you. I couldn't believe it. I knew you, I had been on runs with you. I had laughed in the sub as you traded jokes with another Officer. Bryan, you and Melissa Foster were the first 2 Columbus Police Officers killed in the line of duty since I had became an Officer myself. It was hard for me. I came to your funeral and sat with other friends that I had made through the academy just as many of us did. I wanted to be tough because that is the way I am we are supposed to be. I was sad, I was upset, but I was able to keep myself together. Then, they started to show all of the pictures of you and the family you were torn from far too fast. I lost it. I was a mess. You were a good person with a beautiful family. You were a Buckeye fan and loved your Mustang. You were alot like me.
Bryan I did not know you well, but I miss you every day. I still wear the program from your funeral in my hat at work. Your badge shows through the clear plastic so I know you are with my on every run. I look at it every day and think about you. I think about what you and your family gave up on that day for me and everyone else you protected. I know I am not the only one that still sports your badge in my hat, but I just want to know we still think about you down here. We are still sad you are gone, and we still wish you were still here. Bryan thank you for being you. I know I am just rambling, but I am not good at this. I just mostly wanted to let you know I was thinking about you and please continue to protect us from above. Take care!

HURST,

Toledo Police Detective Keith Dressel was buried today.

Brings back painful memories of January 6, 2005....and your funeral...and the trial...and the overturned death penalty.

Hard to believe it's been over 2 years ago.

You're still thought of everyday...even though I do not write here anymore.

Gone but never forgotten.

Semper Fi,

Brandon C. Walton

I know you have gone over a few things already with Detective Dressel, please continue to watch over his family and the men and woman of the Toledo PD, your hometown...
When I'm paying my respects on Monday I'll be thinking of you and the town you grew up in...
