Scott "Beedie" Burns was a great man ... Me and my husband both worked with him for several years, and were friends with him outside of work .... He took pride in the job he performed ... and enjoyed every aspect of it ... He was a great man, friend, husband and son ... Our heart goes out to his wife, his parents and his child ... He will always be remembered not only by DPS, but by the men and women of TDCJ but most of all by the people who knew him well enough to call him a friend ..... You will be missed Beedie..... And you will never be forgotten .....

Someone Special

Someone special
Died today,
Leaving this world
Lonely, bleak, and gray.
He was a man in blue
With a badge and a gun,
Who left behind
A wife, a mother, a son.
His warm sad tears
Wet the earth as he died,
While his brothers in blue
Wept and cried.

His badge now rests
Upon his still breast,
A shining bright star
Among a dark blue chest.
Though the sun will warm
Another summer day,
The world is so cold
Cause someone special died today.
