Reflections for Police Officer Alan Matthew Ragsdale
For those of you who didn't know Alan I've known him since I was little. He was very caring and thoughtful when it come to other people he always put them first to try to help them. I remember when i was little he was my baseball coach and always treated everyone equally and was always trying to make all the players better. Myself and Alan used to sit and talk about one day when I would get on the force with him and how we were going to try to help everyone. Well Alan I'm on the force now and I'm going to use the same attitude you did because it always seemed to help. When I was in the academy you touched alot of the instructors there because they all talked about you all the time. Alan I know you are in a far better place and we'll meet again someday. You will always be in my heart and sadly missed by everyone.
