Although I never had the privilege of meeting Paul I have the honor of calling him my brother. "We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm". Whether in a back alley of an urban city, or as in this case, a back road of rural farmlands, police officers choose to stand ready to protect others, and some pay the ultimate sacrifice. Paul CHOSE to enlist in the US Army to serve and he CHOSE to enlist with the Michigan State Police to serve......These are the actions of a Hero.

On behalf of the Dearborn Heights Police Department I would offer our deepest support for Paul's family, friends, and fellow Troopers. They say that a person is never truly gone as long as they are remembered......Every time you see a blue goose pass by Paul will be there

God bless & God speed TPR Butterfield

On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Trooper Paul Butterfield and the extended law enforcement family of the Michigan State Police. Rest in Peace brother and watch over us.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper
