Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Deputy Allery, i'm sorry for what happened that day 8 years ago, as your murder was uncalled for, and that it was senseless. That man had no reason to take your life, other than the fact he couldn't accept responsibility for his actions, and if anything he could've went to jail and did his time but instead chose to make a choice that would prove how cowardly he was. But rest assured, the man who took your life is also dead, as your brothers in blue neuatralized him and put him in the ground, since judging by his actions it looked like he wanted to die. To steal a car is one thing that can be taken care of, but going out of your way to harm an officer in the process is probably one of the most evil and cowardly things a person can do. From what i read, he didn't take away a police officer, but he took away a fiancé, a father, a friend, a brother, and a man who was busy making an impact on other people's lives while also protecting and serving. To be fair, i think the man who took your life dug his own grave, because his actions that day showed how rebellious and unlawful he truly was, and he got his wish, which was to be put in the ground. Thankfully, he won't bother or harm anyone else again, since he was clearly a devil in disguise to harm others as an excuse for how he felt. But despite that, i'd like to focus on the positive side of things: For one, you had been in law enforcement for over 5 years, which may sound like a small achievement to some, but i think it shows that you faced danger for that long amount with no fear, as you knew each day you were gonna face something new and potentially dangerous, all the while you were facing evil in the eyes and fighting aganinst it anyway, as you made sure that everyone goes home in the end and that they knew you were out there to provide security to your people of Rolette County, as i'm sure they cherished your service while you were alive. Although i never knew or met you, i can tell you were someone that loved to be around others, as i read that you had a passion for helping others, including your friends and family which shows that if anybody can help those around them, they're the same type of people that can go out there and serve and protect the public, in which you did. Although it's been 8 years, i'm sure that your kids have gotten old enough to learn about their father's history and who their father was, and maybe one day one of them will follow and carry on your legacy, as it was unfortuantely left behind because a spineless scumbag couldn't take accounatability for his actions, and did an action that would tear up the people of North Dakota. I know that no matter how much time goes on, your children will realize that the man who once raised them was a hero, and although you were torn away, it won't change the fact you're protecting your family in spirit, as you're the guardian angel for those who were around you. Although you may not be here physically, you're there for your family in spirit as you protect your woman and kids, just like how you protected others in your county as you were one of the officers that demonstrated what it meant to protect and serve, as you showed those who didn't know what to do how to do their jobs, as you lead by example on how to be a public servant and face danger while fighting against it, thus coming out on top. What doesn't add up to me is the fact that people are willing to go out and harm police, all for the simple fact they can't either accept what they did was wrong, or because they're so pumped up with wrath that their minds get scrambled and can't think straight, resulting in them causing such vile acts to police, as police are one of the few backbones of the country that ensure everyone's safety and make sure people can go home at night or in the day knowing they got some form of security. Although it's been 8 years since you passed, i think that no matter how much time passes in general, you won't ever be forgotten, and i'd like to think that as long as your name is said and you're remembered and thought about, you aren't truly dead as you will forever live in the minds and hearts of others including your children who will carry you in their hearts each day as they progress in life, knowing that you're watching over them and preventing any and all evil from reaching them, as the saying goes; "No weapon formed against me shall prosper". I personally believe that during your 5 years of being an officer, you were able to make a larger difference than you initially thought you did since you probably didn't know how much of an impact you made along with your sacrifice, as the sacrifice you made will forever be remembered and recognized as it shows your bravery and the courage you once had, as people will take inspiration from you and learn about you, as learning about you and your story proves that your name will live on forever, and you won't be forgotten even in the darkest days where it seems unreal. Your star will never fade out in the darkest nights, and you will shine the brighest in the darkest skies, meaning that your family will look up each night and once they see that bright star, they'll know it's a sign that you're up with God, watching down on them and and you're proud of how far they've gotten without you. But as of now, may you rest in peace knowing that your service is deeply cherished, and that the people of North Dakota appreciated your service while you were alive, and that those who further learn about you will prove that your legacy will continue to live on. On top of that, the man who killed you is also gone, meaning that he is receiving his punishment in the afterlife for what he did, as the murder of an officer is a penalty that can only be paid through karma, as karma always reaches those who do wrong to others including those who harm or kill police. I believe that Karma is real, and that it hits everyone hard, but it hits the hardest when it comes to people that harm police, as harming God's soldiers on earth is unacceptable, and that those who do it receive the harshest punishments in the afterlife, as there's a special place in hell for people that kill police of any type. Rest Well Mr. Allery

Colt...Where to start brother? We first met in life at age 5, and we were best friends since. Each time I saw you, I felt like we were still those 5 year old kids playing cops and robbers. Then we started working together in the LE field, and the bond grew stronger there. It's been a few years since you've passed and I still miss you just the same. We will always be brothers and someday we will be reunited. I have soo many memories that I will cherish forever. As always, love you and watch over us.

It is hard to type considering I worked with you at Rolla City Police and for the Turtle Mountain Tribe. I still laugh at the time you called me off your wife’s phone and asked me to pick you up because you needed help finding your phone. You explain to me that you had a fight call at the casino and while breaking people apart your phone must have fallen out of your pocket. Obviously someone found it (stole it). Well the person who took the phone must have known it belonged to a cop because instead of selling it they ditched it in the trees. We used a “find my phone app”. Well needless to say we did find it by Azure’s store about ten yards into the trees. You were so happy you found it because if you wife found out she would have been pissed. (Colt went through about 3 phones a year, either breaking them or losing them). And you begged me not to tell the other officers at the PD. I’m sorry Colt but I had too. It brought joy to us because it was a funny story. Miss and love you.
