Reflections for Police Officer Owen David Fisher

Happy birthday, sweetheart. Love you and miss you.

On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Police Officer Owen David Fisher and the extended law enforcement family of the Flint Police Department, Michigan. Rest in Peace brother and watch over us.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper

Where has the time gone. It seems like yesterday. We were just talking about you the other day. It is still tough on our hearts at the FPD, but still nice to relive the days working with you. God's speed O.

Hi O,
Tomorrow we head off to Flint together to visit you at New Calvary for a sad and happy day. Sad because you are physically gone; happy because every time I think of you I am thankful to have had you in my life for however short a time it was.
Schlaffe gut.
Love,
Dad

Hi O,

Well, I keep thinking about you today. Walter will be 4 this week, and I was thinking how much you guys would have loved each other. He is so funny, and he reminds me of you-tough but gentle and sweet. We are headed to Police Week for this 9th year in just a short time. I'm so grateful to have a couple of my friends through COPS that I go with every year-it really is a last gift from you. Without that group, I'm not sure how we all would have made it. I love you so much, and on days like today it feels like you left us last week.

Dearest Owen, today I wrote about you in my book- "Out of the darkness and into the blue." You will never be forgotten my brother.

Strength and Honor!

We wish you were coming to our house on Christmas. I miss you now as much, or more, than ever. The other night I was thinking about how we were just getting to where we could talk and have an adult friendship. We were both so young with so many things to look forward to together, although I'm sure you are a part of everything we do. Love you, kid. Merry Christmas.

Owen, you would have been 32 today. Time has flown by and yet, at moments, stands still. I still remember driving to the hospital, the nurses giving Katie a preemie bottle & cookies and you being so tiny. Happy birthday, sweetheart. We love you, miss you and still enjoy you.

Happy Birthday Owen!! You have the most amazing sister and she misses you so much. Please try to comfort her during her times of immense sadness....if these things are possible. She is lonely without you here.
Cheers!

Hey O. Not sure why I'm writing here today other than you're on my mind everyday. Your birthday is a few weeks away...32. How is it that you were 23? It doesn't seem right..never will. Walter reminds me of you so much. He's so funny, so stubborn, strong and gentle at the same time. Hank is just a joy, and you would have loved being his Uncle as he's full of adventure and spunk. I miss you in a way I never knew was possible. It hurts to have you gone, and it's a real pain that I can physically feel. I often look up and wonder if you're seeing what is happening and just laugh. You're the best. Love you.

This past weekend I had the privilege to meet your parents at a COPS Family retreat. I was fortunate to be in a few sessions with your Dad and also to just sit and talk. father to father. Know that he will never let you be forgotten and that he will carry his love for you and the precious memories he has of you forever in his heart. Continue to keep watch over all of your loved ones, protect them and help them with their grief. You will never be forgotten.

So O, it's that time again when we get together for family time to remember and to be grateful that we were blessed enough to have had you in our lives and hearts. I miss your wisdom, to which I still aspire.

Love you,

Hi O,
You come to mind daily as you always do. That old picture of you sitting on Katie's back and, it appears, yelping with joy is one I see daily. I remember that I love you and am loved in return.

I was training a rookie officer, and thoughts of you popped inside of my head. Tears of sorrow stream to my face. I know you are in a better place, but you are deeply missed. Prayers got out to you from the Flint Police department. God Bless.

I am thinking of you today. I wish I could call you. So much going on that I'd like to share with you. Even here, so far from home, I talk about you to my friends. I can't believe so much time has past. You are still as present in my heart. I love you.

Owen, Carisa and I think about you all the time. You were a great person and a great friend and we miss you so much!!! I think about our time together in the police academy and the times you would come and visit us in Paw Paw. I miss your stories about being a rookie cop in the City of Flint and can remember how excited you were to almost being done with your FTO. You have touched our hearts deeply and we will continue to keep you there and remember you forever. I know your watching over me when I'm on duty and making sure I'm making the right decisions. We love you and miss you!!!

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones today. Continue to watch over them, protect them and guide them in their decisions in life. Watch over your parents as I know their daily struggle.

"The sense of loss does not diminish with time. In truth, the expression 'time heals all wounds' is a myth. For parents, the loss of a child is permanent and mental scar tissue really does not grow over the grim memory. Rather, all tears are expended and a dull ache remains."

Today we head for Flint to cry a little and laugh a lot. Owen, you are missed every day. I'm so grateful for all the memories we have. What good fortune we have had to have two wonderful children in our lives.
Love you.

Hey O. It's easy to tell when July is approaching because we get into the flurry of leaving for vacation for the Fourth. Of course, I always look back to my first vacation/family reunion in 2005. We headed back home, got back into the swing of this with school and work, and then got a visit to the house that would change the course of our lives forever. I am not a big fan of July anymore...it's a month that come and go quickly. I will never forget the call from my boss that the police were looking for me....I was wondering what the heck I did wrong:) With mom and dad out of the country, I never expected that you were the reason. There is so much I miss. I miss your laugh, your hugs, someone to laugh at mom and dad with (because no one else can in the same way). I also miss feeling like myself before all of this. I truly believe one of the last gifts you gave me was my Sibings group from COPS, even if unknowingly. Without them, I'd be lost. I love you and I hope you look and laugh at all the antics and keep giving a nudge in the right direction when life gets off track. You are seriously the best.

Well, we are leaving this week to head to Police Week. Throughout the year, it feels like we lose track of time with our everyday lives. The time in DC is a special time to just think about you, maybe cry a little, and laugh about you as well...it is so nice that we actually laugh when talking about you now. It is awesome to see the brotherhood you were so excited to be a part of during all of the events and while 'unwinding' at night. Please watch over all of us traveling there from all over the country, especially those going for their first year. That brings up such raw emotions even 7 years later imagining the first time there. I love you.

Love,
