Brian was a regular customer at our store. He was in at least once a week, usually with his new puppy "Eli" that was going into training to be his new K9 partner. Brian was always there to help us out if we needed him, he was always smiling and friendly, and he will be missed here.

WE WERE ONCE ASKED " WHY MUST THE STRONG SUFFER FOR THE WEAK?" WE REPLY " WE DO IT WITH PLEASURE BECAUSE THAT IS OUR DUTY, AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES US STRONG." AFTER YOU READ THIS POEM U WILL SEE WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO, AND THAT POLICE OFFICERS DO MORE THAN WRITE TICKETS AND ARREST PEOPLE. AND FOR THOSE WHO DONT LIKE THE POLICE, THATS OKAY BECAUSE WE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR U WHEN U NEED US. ALWAYS!!!!!!

[Angels in Black]

"I sit alone in my room but I no longer cry It doesn’t matter much to mom and dad who only care about getting high. I don’t go to school much these days, I’m sick and it’s hard for me to breath No one cares about the things I really need Dad cooks things in my house but it’s not for us to eat It burns my lungs and my skin and makes it hard for me to see Why does no one hear me? Why does no one care? My mom and dad don’t love me back, and I don’t think that’s fair. Then one night I hear the sounds as the door comes crashing down Mom and dad rush to hide the things I know they don’t want found My mom and dad are on the floor, their hands behind their back The men all have guns and helmets, and they are all dressed in black They move from room to room as they continue to yell ‘Police!’ I am very frightened as I fall upon my knees Then one of them looks down at me and he can tell I’m a child in need He puts the gun away as he reaches down to me He picks me up from the floor that has become my bed The hand that held the gun, now gently holds my head I can only see his eyes but they look so very sad I wonder if he has a BOY like me, I wish he were MY dad He rushes me from my house to an ambulance on the street His eyes fill up with tears as he lays me on the seat I now have good clothes to wear and good food to eat I can breath good again and it’s not hard for me to see I know now there is a God because when I prayed he sent an answer back For the men who came to rescue me are really The Angels in Black.

Thank you for your service. I did'nt know you but I loved you as my brother. I will leave your family with a poem:
My Brother"

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was idealistic and believed he could make a difference.
He was immensely proud of the uniform and the badge and what they represent.
He felt privileged to be of service to his department, his community and to his country.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was friendly, courteous, and polite, yet firm.
He laughed and joked, but was serious when necessary.
He was competent, trained, and professional.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He had a strong sense of right and wrong and became
frustrated when true justice became sidetracked.
He felt the sharp criticism that goes with the job, but he
never wavered.
He stood by and for his fellow officers.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He longed for his family during the long hours.
He worried about them during his shifts and the lonely
weekends, holidays and midnights when they were apart.
He felt guilty about the lost time, but knew his calling
and prayed they would understand.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was a good son, a loving husband, and a devoted father.
He was dedicated to the profession and cared about the
people he served.
He wanted to do the best job that he could and strived to
be the best he could be.
He was a good citizen and a good neighbor.

He was a cop.

Yes, I did know him.
He was a cop, he was my Brother.


Rest in Peace Deputy Denning, we have the watch...


I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Brother Brian now that you have entered into Gods Kingdom and are now assigned to work with all our brothers and sisters who have also paid the ultimate sacrifice, know your name will never be forgotten by your brothers and sisters here and they will tend to your family. Embrace our Lord and know that He will be there for you for all eternity. There will be no more confrontations with those who have evil deeds on thier minds and in their hearts. All who are with you are gentile, loving and kind to all in their hearts. God bless, rest in peace.
