Reflections for Detective Kevin Shumway Orr

Hi Daddy.
Love you and miss you still sooo much. It just doesn't seem like two years have almost gone by but then it seems like forever. I don't know how. I just wish you were here. Some times I think, what we would be doing if you were here with us. Would we really be doing this or going there.
I wish you were here so I wouldn't have to wonder. We all love you and miss you just as much as the first day you didn't come home. I was just eleven then. I'll be fourteen soon. Love you
Jessica (squirt-eh-cus)

Dear Kevin,
Thank-you for the song. I have no idea how it happens but know with all my heart that it is a sign from you. I love you so much. I keep thinking of this time 2 years ago. I have so many happy times to think of. Kaylee's birthday, Halloween, Emmalee's baptism, christmas lights, your church activity and our movie nights. Thanks for all the memories!! I just wish that you were still here so we could make more. I love you so very much. I miss you every minute of everyday.
Love, Holley

Sir, we passed your memorial on the road today and I noticed your name. When I had the chance I Googled your name in order to read about your life and heroic death. You have my respect and thanks for doing what you did. To your family, I offer my sincere condolences. I cannot imagine the pain you must feel.

Wishing you healing and peace,
Debbi

My thoughts are with you and your children. Knowing what you are going through. It is not something I would wish on my worst enemy. When life gets you down, know that our Heavenly Father is there and ready to listen and I'm only a phone call away.

Hi Daddy.
A lot has been going on lately. I miss you now more than ever. Almost 2 weeks ago I started Junior High. 8th. The last time I saw you I was in Middle school. 6th. It seems like forever. Tomorrow's going to be another really hard day. Kaylee, Ashlee, and Me are going to place your name in cement for the UT memorial. I wish you were here so we wouldn't have to do it. I wish our lives would have stayed the same as they were before you died. You were with us physically. Well I need to go. Love You Daddy. Love Jessica

I need you SO bad. I really don't know how to make it without you. Nobody knows the sadness in my heart. Nobody knows the tears that I shed for you. I miss you so much Kevin. WHY is it this way? Dang it, I don't want it this way. I want to go back to the morning of the 21st of November of 2006 and stop time. Our life was so perfect then. We were so happy as a family. I miss you so much. I love you so much that it hurts to not have you here to hold and talk to and be able to see you.
Love you, Holley

My Dearest Kevin,
Happy Father's Day. I never in my life thought that I would be typing to you for Father's Day. I thought that you would always be here. We were suppose to grow old together. We had so many dreams and plans. I feel so cheated out sometimes. But what hurts even more is to see that the kids have to live without you here physically. Tyler did not go on his scout day camp yesterday because it was for you too. Today I kept them home from church. I did not want them to go to there classes and feel bad as most of the time things are made for dad's on Father's Day.
The heartache that I feel in losing you Kevin, is almost more than I can bear. When people say that it gets easier with time, I think, you have not loved and lost the way I have or you would not say that. I miss you more today than yesterday because it is another day that I have had to live without you. I can't think past today or I am so overwhelmed.
I do want you to know how thank-ful I am that you blessed me with 4 beautiful children. They are so much of you. The things that they will say or do are constantly a reminder of you. I love you so much. I have faith that we will be together again for all eternity. I love you my sweet angel Kevin.
Love, Holley

Dad.
Happy Father's Day. Love You. Miss you. I wish you could be here. About to weeks ago was the weigh in for the fair. Mom and I were over getting stuff for vacation and I told her I could just you about four years ago green shirt, old jeans, old hat, sun glasses, poopy shoes, poopy rag in one back pocket and a poopy brush in the other. We started laughing and crying. We could both could see you. And then The beach house/vacation. It was hard to go to the same one without you there. It just wasn't the same. Then girls camp. It was good to know that everyone still remembers you. Going, it made me realize that you changed soooo many lives, through work, Church and lots of other places. Well Happy Fathers Day. Today We stayed home and watched home videos. It was good to here your voice. Right now we are watching Christmas after Kaylee was born. The mantle looks really good and the tree. Its to bad we didn't record the lights you put up outside. Well I love. Thanks for watching over us. Love you.

Uncle Kevin,
I have finally been to Lapoint to see Holley and the kids. I have finally been to your resting spot and the memorial close to where you died. It helped as far as getting a little bit of closure considering where I was when it happened. I felt so estranged and isolated from reality. I couldn't believe it and wouldn't accept it. By the time I got the news of what happened, you were already buried in the earth. The funeral and memorial services had commenced and terminated. I couldn't stand thinking about it. I saw some pictures and talked to family, but I still didn't feel like I could ever believe it or rather accept it. You led an incredible life. Many people only dream of accomplishing so much, but don't do it because they're too busy with unimportant matters. You accepted the Lord's will and lived accordingly. You weren't too busy with your own life. You lived for serving others. You died for serving others. Again, many of us only dream of that. I thank you for your example. I hope to break down the walls of slothfulness, shame, and pride that keep me from being great like you and others who have passed on, leaving a legacy of faith and righteous living. You emulated only the Best. Even Jesus Christ. You followed good example and gave it right back. I hope to feel your presence or hear your voice some day. If not in this life, I look forward to seeing you in the next. Goodbye beloved uncle. I love you. I miss you.

Well my love,
Today we celebrated Ashlee's 4th birthday. It is not until monday but we had her party today. She was 2 1/2 when you were taken away from us. She has such a special love and relationship with you. That is one thing that I worried about when you passed was if she would be able to remember you. But she kisses your picture everyday and talks about you and says how much she loves you. I know now, a year and a half later that she will always remember you and it is not a concern for me any longer. You two made such a bond in 2 1/2 years that a lot of people don't make in a whole lifetime. She constantly has to eat popcorn and watch a movie because that is what the two of you did together. It don't matter if it is 6:00 a.m. or 11:00 p.m., if she wants to eat popcorn and watch a movie, she does it because it is a memory she has with you. She still loves to play cat and mouse because that was her favorite game to play with her daddy.
Well, back to her party. As soon as it was over she went outside and let all of her balloons up into the air and said, "I love you so so so much daddy." I know that she is constantly thinking of you like I always am.
Tonight I went into her room to see what she was doing. She had the heliem tank and was trying to fill a balloon. I said what are you doing Ashlee? She said, " I want to send daddy another balloon because I love him so so so much." So of course she did.
Then after her prayers tonight, she was kissing your picture and hugging it and loving you so much. It broke me and Jessica down. She has so much love to give you. I wish you were here physically to get all the love that she has for you.
We miss you so much that it hurts.
Please watch over the kids. They need you here for a million reasons. They miss you dearly.
Always and forever in our hearts, thoughts and lives. We look forward to the day when we are all together again, until then, we will do the best we can.
Love Always, Holley

I miss you so much! Words can not begin to describe what death does to the family left behind. I am so appreciative of the gospel and the knowlege of life eternal. I know you are always close at hand. I know we will meet again soon but for the mean time I miss you. I want to reach out and touch not just think. The way you lived your life should be an example for all of us to follow. May we have have of what you did. I am so amazed at your sweet little family. Holly is so incredible and your kids can not be compared with. I can just see you up there with your new and old aquaintnances saying "oh guess what (Jessica) (Tyler)(Kalee)or (Ashlee)did today, and then go on to tell some wonderful thing they said or did. If there were some way to get the last email that you sent to me so that I could share it with them could you please help me. Your loving and heart broken sister who is so greatful to have had you in my life. I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr Orr,

My name is Amanda and I am Jessica's friend. I just wanted to tell you that you are so lucky to have such an amazing daughter. I wish I didn't meet her though COPS because for such a great organization, it has a terrible cause.

As I was driving to Vernal the other day I saw your memorial on the banks of the Green river. Seeing it caused me to stop and visit. I reflected on the news accounts I heard of the accident. To your loving family, remember families are eternal, not just for this world. We have been told "For behold this is work and glory to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." May you find peace in your lives. Always remember your husband and father died a hero and doing what he loved.
