Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

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.

I was saddened when I read of this. I met Greg in the summer of 2000 during a multi-department task force at the then Verizon Amphitheater in Hamilton County. I had the pleasure of being assigned to his team for three days, which gave me the opportunity to learn what a gift he had. I have for the last 21 yrs I told the stories of what I was witness to. Indiana State, Terre Haute - was my home for four years, and I will grieve Greg's death with you.

Greg, to your family, I ask for our God to provide comfort, peace, and somehow understanding of this tragedy. To Chief Keen & your THPD family, your colleagues at the FBI, and all those officers you have positively encountered, I ask for the same. Rest now my brother - we've got this.
