It is unbelievable the unfortunate events that have plagued our city. I hardly can stand the thought of going to another memorial service, where a soldier, a hero, a new father's life was cut short so untimely.

I wonder why these events happen, for what reason does life cheat us by taking loved ones away from us so swiftly and with no fault of their own.

I only pray that God has the answer for me in his infinite wisdom.

Bryan, you know how hard this job is at times. I respect your dedication, motivation and perserverance. I will never forget these events throughout my life.

I pray that you and Melissa will watch out for your fellow brothers and sisters in blue down here. Lead us in the right direction and help us keep our spirits high in such tragic times.

We will miss you, but you will never be forgotten. Your family will always be taken care of.

God Bless you and your family. My BROTHER IN BLUE.

Having survived the senseless death of our associate pastor and Oklahoma Highway Patrolman, Nik Green, our church family has seen first hand how God has turned trajedy into triumph. My words will never replace Officer Hurst but in the past year that Nik has been gone, I made the effort to concentrate on what has not been taken from me. It has not been easy but the Lord has shown all of us that we will be blessed as we mourn (Matt ch.5 v.4). This will be our church prayer, that your loss will be comforted in such a magnificent and glorious way, there will be no question as to Who took your pain away. Our prayers go out to you and your extended family. Thank you Mr. Hurst for your attention to our life.

To the family, friends and co-workers of Ofc. Hurst. I will pray for you and ask God to help you through this horrible time. Know that you have the love and support of the strongest Brotherhood on God's Earth.

I never had the privledge of meeting Ofc. Hurst, but to read his story and to know that even at the time God was calling him home, he was still able to save the lives of so many others, is such an inspiration. This is a true hero and I can only hope and pray that if, God forbid, I am faced with the same situation, I could be half as brave. He truely is in a better place now and watching over the rest of us still fighting the good fight. Rest in Peace brother and know that this man will be caught!!

Bryan, You made myself and others laugh with your witty sence of humor. You always had that little smirk on your face as if you were thinking of some wise crack comment to say. Our roll calls were always fun when you were there. You are both a friend, and a brother in blue to me. Your presence will be missed but your memories will always be with us.
