Reflections for Police Officer David Aaron Haynes

David, How the years fly by without you. I have been living in this world for twelve years since you were taken from us and no sir, don't like it very much at all without you in it. I miss your goofiness, I miss your serious side. I just plain miss you.

So when I was 9 years old I was shot in the chest by a .45 pistol and the officer that arrived on the scene was David Haynes and he drove me to the hospital because the ambulance was taking so long we got there quickly and without him I wouldn’t be alive today I thank him and send loving prayers to his family and his wife❤️

David, Missing you so much this Mother's Day. You always made me laugh. It just came natural to you. You were a goof, you were a chameleon, you were tough, you were kind, you were stern, you were gentle. I still look for you at my door calling our helloooooo the way you did, I can still hear your voice sometimes. I miss your stories, they were always the best.

Officer Haynes,
On today, the 10th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the USMC in Iraq. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

9-28-17 David, Another Birthday, you would have been 35, wow. I cherish every birthday we had together. I am so grateful that I got to see the man you had become. A fine son, brother, husband, uncle, friend. But every birthday that passes since you were taken from us, I am reminded of all the potential that you were not able to reach. All the life circumstances that we have missed you during. Oh!, just to hear you call out at my door, "Mom? Hellooooooo?????? I want to hear you tell me a story, complete with gestures and dramatics again. I know someday we will be together again. But in the meantime, I miss you so much. - Love you always, MOM <3

Dear Ms. Haynes,
I remember first meeting you as I hugged you and attempted to extend my sorrow. The only words I could speak were "Thank you for your son and his service. For you see, but for the grace of God go I. Tonight my only son stands at your sons feet." My heart still breaks for you and your family. I pray no other mother will feel your pain.
RIP Officer David Haynes

Hello I am memorializing this officer in a project for school. If anybody knew him personally and would like to email me and tell me about his character, personality, any stories you have of him, please email me in the next week or so I'd love to memorialize him in the best way possible. Thankyou!

You, My Son, made me so proud. I am glad I got to see the man you grew up to be, and I am heartbroken, that I didn't get to keep you longer. You did what you loved, you protected people and gave them hope. You made people accountable for their actions. A mother could not ask more from her son if he lived to be one hundred. You have many, many, friends and family who love and miss you dearly.

Mother highest possible rank :-)

I am praying for the solace of all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever, Your family is in my heart's embrace today.

Dave you were my best friend here. I loved working with you and the everyday joking and laughter that came with it. I still talk to mama Haynes and your wife Stephanie on a weekly basis. You are so very missed. FYI I finally got transferred to the second district where we were supposed to be everyday partners. RIP buddy.
