We laid my cousin to rest today. I’m amazed at how many different law enforcement agencies showed up to give their condolences for my cousin. I’m so very happy and I thank every single one of them. I found out a lot more about my cousin today. The stores shared of how much he truly impacted his community, one story I would like to share is how he helped a young woman from committing suicide off our bridge. He wasn’t even on duty and he made it his mission to stop her from ending her beautiful life. She is forever grateful to him and was at his funeral today. It takes will to be an officer, a confidence, dedication, bravery. He was a good one, a man of his word, and loved to protect his community. E.O.W. 10-2-2021
