It’s difficult to grasp that it has been ten years since Officer Bryan Hurst laid down his life for many of us this horrible day. We all have been able to go on with our lives in many ways; new careers, new families and additions to the families, and for me moving to a new state. Not a moment goes by that I don’t remember what he did for us that day - what each of the Officers do for us every day.

I may not be in Ohio to hold the hand of those who where there that day, to shed the tears along side of you and to verbally share in the memories of what Bryan did and continues to do for us but please know that while I may not be able to stand next to you I am shedding those tears, I am hugging you, I am remembering and I am loving all of you! Everyone that was a part of that day, whether it be because you where there or because you were a “brother or sister”, family or friend of Bryan, I am sharing in the memories.

Each and every day I am reminded of those who stand up to protect and serve in all areas of service. They are there to make sure that we can safely go home to our families and friends. I continue to pray that each and every one of them can do the same.

Think of you often, Bryan. Especially reminded of you last night when an Akron, Ohio officer was shot defending patrons at a bar. Please know your bravery and life is cherished by many. You would be so proud of Malia....such a bright, creative, and loving little girl. Gone, but never ever forgotten.

Thinking of you today as I do everyday. Hard to believe it's been 9 years. I remember your smile and how you made us laugh but most of all I remember how your actions saved 8 lives that day.
Thank you for your service to your country, the citizens of Columbus, Ohio, and the employees of Fifth Third Bank. Keep us safe from up above.
Gone but never forgotten.

Love,
Angie

Hard to believe it has been 9 years since you were taken from us.. Miss you brother and think about your actions that day all the time.. I worked the streets a few weeks ago on 3rd shift and pulled onto the lot of the bank (now tire shop).. I ran thru my mind as I have numerous times how courages and heroic your actions were that morning.. God Bless you and everyone that is thinking about you today... Keep watch over all of us..#2057 forever....

My heart goes out to you as, eight years later, the legal system is still dealing with your loved one's murder. Bryan was very brave that day. We owe so much to professionals like him - every day. What a sweet photo of him with his/your daughter! I'm sure she knows her dad through your loving memories. My sincerest compassion goes out to you.

Brian - I took my son to watch Act of Valor recently at a theatre not to far from bank. He is 8 years old now and not much older than your baby. I've never really talked to him about what happened to us back on that horrible day becuase I've never known how you tell a child how important a man like you is to a world like this or why you had to do what you did. I made it through most of the movie and I got to the end where I just sat there and cried for a good twenty minutes holding my little boy and telling him what kind of man you were and how you saved his daddy just like the men in the film who were portraying you saved all those people. After that I took him to where you perfomed your final act of bravery and told him how a real hero llived and how important it is to live a life worth something and how he has someone to live up to in this life just like you. Rest in peace friend and I look forward to the day I can thank you face to face after this world fades.
