Officer Kelly, there is a bond between all Law Enforcement Officers, especially zone partners. You tell these guys things you wouldn't tell your own wife. There is a level of trust there, because you have been in so many situations that you may not have come out of if they had not been there. After reading about your actions and those of your fellow officers, I would proud to work a zone in Heaven with you. Rest easy warrior.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family, as well as the families of the other officers killed on that fateful morning, as well as the Pittsburgh PD. Trust in God and he will get you through anything.

May honor and glory follow you in heaven.

"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.

RIP Officer Kelly.

Officer Kelly you and your fallen brothers are all true heros. I sit here humbled by your brave and selfless actions. To run into the line of fire, off-duty, and ultimately give your life to assist fellow members in need epitomises what it really is to be a 'Cop' - a Son of God.
May He in turn protect and comfort your loved ones in this time of need.
My sincere condolences to your family, friends and fellow officers.
In Valour the is Hope.
