I remember working with you at EPD and everybody would ask if we we're related. I would tell them that you probably wished you we're related to me! The truth is we are brothers in LE and I always knew I could count on you to be there when "it got deep". Rest in Peace Brother, and tell Mr. Charles hello for me..

Life.....so fragile, Loss....so sudden, Heart....so broken,... in the wake of such a loss,
we are haunted by things we don’t, and
may never, understand.

Yet the solace we seek may not come from
answers. So we look for comfort in the
belief of love's everlasting connection.

May that love lift you and hold you close, and give you peace.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Bladen County Sheriff's Office. Our region is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother

"We in this world today, shall be remembered-
We few, We Happy Few, We Band Of Brothers...
For he today who sheds his blood with me
Shall be...My Brother....Lest ye say it proudly...
We are but warriors for the working day". Shakespear

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May God shine his love and grace for all to see and bless you all.

Police Officer’s
23rd Psalm

The lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want,
His comforting hand reduces fear to naught;
He walks me through the streets of crime,
But he gives me courage and peace of mind.
He leads me by still waters in the path I trod,
And he says in roman’s I’m a “minister of god”,
He leads me in righteousness as he restores my sole,
For his name’s sake he keeps me whole.
When I walk through death’s valley,
Right up to the door,
I will fear no evil,
For he comforts me more;
For thou art with me every step of the way,
As thy rod and thy staff protect me each day.
He prepares a table,
Especially for me,
As I work daily among life’s enemies;
He gives me authority to uphold the law,
And he anoints my position in the midst of it all.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me,
Each day of my life through eternity;
As I long to hear him say ‘well done…”
When I lay down my life, my badge, and my gun.
