Deputy Etheridge
Rest in Peace Brother and it was an honor to share the job with you. Tell my Son-in law Josh Norris EOW 07/05/2007 hello and have him show you around. My prayers are with your family during this dark time, but you will have your day, a day that you richly deserve, too many police cars to count, with lights blazing and sirens screaming escorting you. Hundreds of your brothers will stand at attention saluting you and the citizens of your community will shed tears. A 21 gun salute will sound out in respect for you and heart numbing Taps" will be played for you while your family receives a flag. There will not be a dry eye left from both your family and police family near and far. Saint Michael the chief of police in heaven will greet you at the pearly gates and welcome you to Saint Peter's district. You will never be forgotten and your strength and courage will live on to inspire every new deputy that takes up the call of the profession and your sacrifice will be remembered through out the nation with every police officer. You got the call, you gave your all, and it was more than enough. So prop your feet up and take a load off up there and keep an ear to the radio so that when another of our brother's number is called you can meet them at the gate with a cup of coffee and a smile. Oh and put in a good word for me up there, I like the day watch and make sure my boy Josh is on his toes.

To the Etheridge Family
Brian was taken to early and should of had more time with you guys and I know words at this time will never stop the hurt, but know your Husband and Dad is not far from you. He is the whisper in the wind, that feeling of being hugged when no one is there, he will always be at your side watching over ever accomplishment and catching ever tear that you guys shed. What has helped my family and may help yours, remember your love ones laugh, his smile and all those things that are unique to him, since they are truly what made him. Your police family from near and far extends it arms around ya'll, if this one from Louisiana can do anything do not hesitate to ask. God bless you and may he give you strength.

Deputy Etheridge,
There not enough ways to thank him for what he has done.I met Deputy Etheridge once when I had run out of gas and was scared because I was alone my cell phone had no signal and I had my little boy with me. He stopped I was frantic and didnt know what to do. He not only made me feel better he called another officer and Deputy Etheridge sat with me while the other officer when got gas and lunch for my son. And when I asked how and when I could pay him back he said just help someone they way I was able to help you and it's kindness and genorousity like that that this world could use more My thoughts and prayers go out to his family friends and to all the families and friends and fellow officers in the time of loss and sarrow

It is with a heavy heart that I revisit this page on the 8yr anniversary of the line of duty death of my partner Dep. Jason Schwartz Fremont County S.O. CO. I am so very sorry for the loss of Deputy Brian S. Etheridge. My condolences to his loving family at home and at Sedwick County S.O. I know his was loved and he will be missed. As my friend at Wichita PD has informed me. There are no words to ease your burden. But may you take comfort in knowing that Deputy Schwartz was there to greet Brian with open arms and show him around as they patrol the beat on Heavens streets together. God Bless and keep fighting the good fight Brothers. #129

Revelation 21:3-7

"And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son."

God bless the family of Deputy Etheridge. His sacrifice to the community and nation will never be forgotten.
