Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Kipley Allen Brown

Deputy Sheriff Brown,
On today, the 30th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army during the Persian Gulf War. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Hi Dad..,
The date is May 19, 2014 and Memorial Day is a week from today. I had forgotten about this page until I decided to google your name. As you know I'm now 26 years old, & I'm a mother of two and a wife to an amazing man! Levi Braxton is 7 and Kipleigh Marie is 4 (She was named after her PawPaw Kip!) .. You were given some company 3 years ago when The Lord gave you half of my heart. Mrs. Lillie Watkins now sits with you on Gods right side and I miss that woman God I miss her. She was the only one that could make sense of the loss of you at such a young age. She was the one I went to about absolutely everything. She wiped my tears, chased my fears and replaced them with both love and faith in God. We will never understand why some people are taken we just have to have faith. Dad, you will always be the man I first kissed, hugged, held hands with you're the first man I ever loved.! I have lived a lifetime without you and now you have my MawMaw and I'm so jealous she gets to see you(: I love you both and miss can't even start to explain the emptiness I feel. Until we meet again daddy, I love you!!!




Love,
Your little girl -Brisen Marie Dyess

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 113th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

I can see fron the reflections that you were an amazing man and father and are loved and missed by many, especially your children. The hurt of losing a beloved never goes away...the pain and the pride are forever. I pray for the solace of your family.
Rest In Peace

Hey daddy! It's me and I thought I would drop by to tell you that everything is ok. I'm now 23, married, in college, and a mother to the most beautiful little girl in the world. I wish so much that you could hold her but I know that everyday you smile down on her. I miss you so much daddy and I know that one day I will see your smiling face again but until then you will always be in my heart. I love you Daddy. Love me!!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Hey dad it is me again and I just wanted you to know that Very proud of you and always will be. You in many of ways have made me a better person. I understand that it was just last year that I left my last reflection but I feel it is something I need to do to, to make myself feel better about loosing you so early in my life. I pray for you everynight and sometimes can feel your presence, I know you are there and even if not physically, the fact that you are there makes it all worth while. I plan on giving birth to a beautiful baby boy, that I can tell the stories to of how wonderful his grandpa was. I miss you horribly and will never forget that smile you always had when you would come in from work and see your children sitting in the floor playing and you would dive right in. Sandra is doing fine and says hello and she loves you and misses you deeply, Heather, well shes just Heather but loves and misses you to. Well I guess I need to go...

Love Always,
Your Daughter

My grandmothers, Uncle Steve, Nanny, and Stepmother tells me what a great guy you were. They show me your pictures all the time. I've seen the news papers of your death and i miss you all the time. They tell me what a great police officer you were and what a great dad you were. You'll always be #1 in my heart.

Hey,
I just wanted to let everyone who reads this that my dad was a wonderful person. He always tried his hardest to help everyone in everyway that he could. I miss horribly and would do anything I could to get him back. Its real hard on me because I was only 6years old when the lord called him home, I am the age of 18years now and it has been a very lonley 12 years. It is real hard on my brother because he was only 9months old when the accident happened. This reflection is not about me I just wanted to let everyone know how great of a dad that my dad truly and honestly was. I love him and he will always be in my heart. And I am not letting it get to me as bad as I was because I know with out a doubt that he is here with me at this very moment and I will see him again one day.

Rest In Peace

Deputy Brown, I just happened to see you on the front page and took interest because I used to live in Dublin (during the time when Kyle Dinkheller was shot and killed). It's coming up on the 12 year anniversary of the day you died...it's bound to be a sad time for your loved ones. Looking at your picture you remind me of one of our guys...I'm willing to bet you were as good an officer as he is. God Bless You, Deputy Brown...rest in peace.
