Man. I have so many emotions spinning around right now. Anger that I found out you’re gone so late, sadness at the loss of you, frustration in myself for not checking in earlier, etc. I know typing this out isn’t going to make any of it better or heal any of the pain, but I know that we are protected and guided by a powerful God. Although I am hopelessly confused when things like this happen, I know in my heart all we can do is trust.

Rest easy man. This world truly is a darker place without you. Thank you for the laughs, thank you for the friendship, thank you for the patch. It means even more to me now than it already did before.

In the next life Officer, thank you for all that you did.
