Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

On behalf of the Ohio Attorneys General Bureau of Criminal Identification & Investigation, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Criminal Investigator Steven A. Carnes and the extended law enforcement family of the Tom Green County District Attorney's Office, Texas.



End of Watch Sunday, November 13, 2022.



Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper

My dearest Steven, you were always my hero. You were the best part of me, and together we truly did come together as one. The night you didn't come home my whole world stopped. I am still finding it hard to breathe without you. I don't understand why you had to go. I will miss you for the rest of my days. I will never forget about us...
