Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

David, I was just thinking about you, it's been over 2 years since you left us...as you watch above, you have seen that time has passed over your past. Though please don't ever think that you are forgotten from the people of our city, You live silently in the heart of those you have touched.

God Bless you

It's been two years since you made the ultimate sacrafice David. I wish that I had the opportunity to have met you, as everything that I have heard about you shows what a great person and officer you were. I hear your name spoken often as others reminisce about you. Please know that you are never forgotten sir.

Dave was a special man, son, brother, officer. That is clear from all of the posts from those who knew him. God Bless all of you. Stay safe.

There are no magical words I can leave here that will help with the pain left in the hearts of those that love you dearly. All I can suggest is that they never let you be forgotten and I know they are doing that and will continue to do so. Your brothers and sisters in Blue should ralley behind them and give their support for you are a true hero.
You will never be forgotten

"Those we hold most dear never truly leave us.
They live on in the kindness they showed, the comfort
They shared and the love they brought into our lives."

IT'S ME AGAIN. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I HAVE SPENT MY MORNING LISTNING TO SONGS THAT REMIND ME OF YOU AND THINKING ABOUT YOU. I WATCHED SOME OF THE FUNERAL AND MANY TRIBUTES TO YOU AGAIN. I WISH I COULD LAY MY HEAD ON YOUR CHEST WHILE YOU HELD ME. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I LOVE YOU DAVID.

It is hard to believe you have been gone 2 years. At times it seems like yesterday and sometimes it seems like a million years since I heard you say "hey punk". Everyone misses you. Your name often comes up in our conversations at work. We will never forget you. As I have said before sometimes this job feels like it is breaking my spirit and then I think of you... You would love to be out working and chasing the bad guy. Your excitement for the job was contagious. You were not only a great officer, you were a great soul. We love and miss you and I keep your momma Jo and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

I remember you, Dave sitting around the fire ring in your backyard. I remember you, Dave making everyone at the party think you'd jumped in the retention pond. I remember you, Dave stopping off-duty to assist me with an unruly drunk and yoiu wearing those goofy glove-shoe things with a neon green stripe on them. I remember you, Dave, and I miss you.

It's still hard to believe you grew, from that little kid I met. when you were with your mother that day at the Training Academy, into the LEO you became before your last duty day. Rest in peace, David!

to the Moore Family ..... My son was killed in the line of Duty on January 26,2005. and so we are somewhat tied by their EOW days ... I will add you to my list of thoughts and prayers on that day . There was another Indiana Officer who died on the same day as my son ...his name was Tommy Cochran ..so we stay in touch on this ODMP . I see you are a law enforcement family ..my other son is a Deputy and my grandson is as well and wears his Dad's badge number . My son was Deputy James Tutino in Los Angeles County ,Ca. I do pray for everyone who wears a uniform .I am also on the Board of SoCal COPS so I am usually at the Memorials .Maybe one day we will meet.

TOMORROW WILL MARK THE TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY THAT CHANGED OUR LIVES FOREVER. THE WEATHER TODAY IS MUCH LIKE THAT DAY YOU WERE SHOT. THE SINGLE DIGIT TEMPS AND NEGATIVE WINDCHILL. BUT, THAT WEATHER DID NOT STOP YOU. IT WAS THIS DAY 2 YEARS AGO THAT YOU WORKED YOUR FIRST SHIFT ON DAY SHIFT AND THEN WENT HOME AND WENT FOR A RUN IN THE FRIGID WEATHER,WHERE THE LAST PICTURE WAS TAKEN OF YOU. YOU WERE SO DEDICATED. I REMEMBER GETTING THE CALL THAT YOU HAD BEEN SHOT AND THINKING HE WILL BE FINE. I TOLD MYSELF NOT TO FREAK OUT BECAUSE I JUST KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS. AS THE NIGHT WENT ON AND I FOUND OUT MORE I KNEW THE WORST WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. I COULDNT BELIEVE IT. I THOUGHT ABOUT ALL THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAD ABOUT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ONE OF US, I THOUGHT ABOUT THE LAUGHS WE SHARED AND PLAYING AROUND WITH EACHOTHER. I THOUGHT ABOUT THE FIRST HUG YOU GAVE ME. MY HEART WAS BROKEN FOR ME FOR YOU AND FOR YOUR FAMILY. IT IS STILL SO UNREAL. THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I DO NOT THINK OF YOU. I LISTEN TO THE SONGS WE SHARED AN STARE AT THE PICTURES OF YOU. AS I WALK THROUGH MY HOUSE I PAUSE AS I CHERISH THE MANY GIFTS FROM YOU. YOU WERE A GREAT MAN AND FRIEND TO MANY AND BECAUSE OF YOU OUR LIVES ARE BETTER. I KNOW MINE IS. I LOVE YOU DAVID AND I MISS YOU. I KNOW THAT I WILL BE WELCOMED INTO HEAVEN BY YOU ONE DAY. CONTINUE TO WATCH OVER ALL OF US AS WE ARE OUT HERE ON THE STREET AND BE WITH YOUR FAMILY AS I KNOW THEY WILL NEED YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE SIGNS YOU SEND ME. I LOVE YOU DAVID!

Thinking of you today as always & it hit me we are almost to two years already without you here. You are in our hearts every day, every where. Some days I get so frustrated for not making more of my time here, for letting moments slip by. I think often of how you truly lived life every single day. You continue to inspire although the pain is still so real. The weeks ahead will be difficult for many. Be proud of Jo momma, she too is an inspiration to live life & be strong.

Never Forgotten!

I JUST DROVE PAST A HOUSE WHERE I HAD AN INVESTIGATION A FEW YEARS BACK. ONE OF THOSE INVESTIGATIONS THAT TAKE FOREVER. YOU WERE OFF DUTY AND DROVE OVER JUST TO HANG OUT WITH ME. I REMEMBER STANDING ON THE SIDE WALK AND YOU LOOKED AT THE STREET SIGN AND IT SAID MOORE AV. YOU SAID "I TOLD YOU I WAS SPECIAL, THEY NAMED A STREET AFTER ME". WE JOKED AND PLAYED AROUND LIKE WE ALWAYS DID. THEN YOU GAVE ME A CARD JUST BECAUSE AND YOU LEFT. ITS FUNNY HOW THINGS WORK OUT. YOU DO HAVE A STREET NAMED AFTER YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE SPECIAL. THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I DO NOT THINK ABOUT YOU AND EVERYTHING WE SHARED. ITS FUNNY HOW TO THIS DAY WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU I STILL GET BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH LIKE I WOULD EVERYTIME WE WERE GOING TO SEE EACHOTHER BUT IT ONLY LAST FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE I GET THAT SICK EMPTY FEELING. I LOVE YOU DAVID AND MISS YOU SO MUCH.

It's always sad when an officer falls in the line of duty, but this one stuck with me for some reason..I only lived in Indy for a few years but lived there when this young man was senselessly gunned down..I probably cried for a good while and i had never met the man before. It puts things in perspective, and re affirms my belief in the fact life is precious. I truly believe he was one of Gods angels..I donated blood and must have bought at least 50 dinners for random officers after this happened. I know his parents were/are officers and can tell you they did a fine job raising this man..Thank you for the service my friend..May you rest in peace..You gave your life so that people could live in safety and peace..That's never forgotten..
