Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Patrolman Thalmann,
On today, the 10th anniversary of your death I would jus 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. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Alex..
Hey Brother ...
As another anniversary since that fateful night approaches , again have been in my heart and soul ...
Those thoughts and feelings honestly haven't left since I first heard...
I played Pipes at your Funeral and have played multiple times since in your memory & honor ... since joining the NBPD in 2020 as a non sworn member, each morning I walk into The Station I visit Memorial Hall and say a prayer ..

As I get to know more of the other Officers, I start to understand the Never Ending Love they continue to have for you and Your Legacy as a Patrolman that is now Standard to attempt to live up to...
Each time I hear " Hey Man ..."
from one of your colleagues, I too wish I could have gotten to know you ..it would've been my honor ..

Continue Rest In Peace Brother
As long as I am here down on this earth, your life, the way you lived , your service to Our Country , to Our City and Your Supreme Sacrifice Will Always Be Remembered And Never Forgotten...

Alex,

I've worked here at NBPD for a little over 2 years now. From the beginning I heard stories about you, your legacy from the short time you were afforded here, and the type of man you were. I will be 27 this Saturday and since I learned your story, each birthday seems bittersweet. It doesn't seem fair that I get to keep growing older while your life was cut short. I wish I could have met you. I know we'd have gotten along. I wish I could see you working in your element and hear "190 New Bern traffic stop" over the radio. From what I've been told I would have heard that quite a bit. Thank you for your sacrifice Alex. I'm so sorry it had to be you. You will never be forgotten.

Hey, man. We’re approaching Christmas and this will be the first one in 7 years that you’ll get to spend with your mom. She was an amazing woman and we’ll miss her down here, but if she’s with you, she is right where she wanted to be. I hope I held up my end of the bargain in your eyes. Love you both. Merry Christmas.

TODAY you would have been 29 year old, maybe been married, had a couple of kids. All that ended the night you were shot.

I miss you with all my being and love you more than ever.

You were so joyful and full of life. I guess you were needed somewhere else in the Universe.

Love Mom

Your ears burning this week??? We’ve been talking you up a storm. Looking back, you left a void that we’ve never really filled and frankly, I’m okay with that. We couldn’t know the differences we’d make back then, but no matter what, yours will always be the ones we talk about. Miss you and love you bro. Thanks for having my back, then and even now.

Hey man. Had a call this morning that reminded me of that call we had on Bern Street in front of Nikkis. Brought a smile to my face because it ended the same way. I miss those days and we all miss you bro.

Five years, I can hardly believe it... Doesn’t seem like it was that long ago, but in the same it feels like a lifetime ago. I always think about you. I can recall the exact day we met laughing and joking, and unfortunately that terrible night is also ingrained in my mind as well. You are missed, remembered, and cherished.

Hey man. I was going through one of my closets tonight and found that mini-helmet you gave me. Brought me right back to the day you gave it to me. “28 for the day, baby boy”

My fourth Christmas without you. I have a tree, but there is nothing under it except the love I have for you. Your Sister is here. She has brought me joy and you know what? She is amazingly a lot like you Alex. I miss you with all my being and I love you more than that. I love you My Beautiful Boy, I always will. Love Mommo

I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

A New Bern hero. Rest in peace Patrolman Thalmann. Too young with a career headed for more accomplishment. God needed your young heart and soul to humbly guide our angelic heroes and heroines.
