As a fellow police officer, me and my agency are in prayer for the family. I know there is nothing we can do to remove the pain, but I also know in time God can. The Bible reads "I can do all things in Christ, who strengthens me".

Bryan was a happy guy, excited about being a police officer. He always had a smile. Our shifts overlapped by 4 hrs so we would end up on the same calls. He was always great and fun to chat with. I'll always remember backing him up on a call and taking an arrest for him since he was ready to go off-shift. That arrest ended up getting me my first formal complaint. He was a good man who loved his family, life and co-workers. I'm thankful for the little time I had to share life with him.

Bryan - it was just too short. Your strength and attitude for the job were such an inspiration. They will continue to set a standard for me both at work and at home. I take a little comfort in knowing you're in the best place of all now, but I still miss you like crazy. Save us a space up there.

Thanks for setting goals for me to strive for.

As a fellow officer said, we're going to work hard to make you proud - just like you did every day.

We miss you Bryan.

It is a time like this that reminds us all of how precious life is, and that we need to hug our loved ones more often and tell them how much we love them. May we never forget that when we put on our uniform, it may be for the last time. God Bless You, Officer Durman. May you never be forgotten.

To the family and Friends of Officer Bryan Durman.

First let me say how sorry I am for the Loss of your husband, father, and son, and friend, and co-worker.

When it comes to the death of a loved one, It somehow never makes any scence of why this happened.

Some tend to wonder if there really is a God, how could he allow this to happen. Many even a challanged to have thier own faith questioned.

I don't have all the answers to these questions I am often asked at a time of death, only to say I

believe in God's word, and in the Bible, HE assures

us that even in the mist of our trails, and tribulation, HE is with us and feels our sorrow.

As hard as it is at this time, I hope and pray that

the family, friends, and co-workers are able to

find that peace, that passes all understanding,as

promised to us by our Father in Heaven. I will keep everyone in prayer. May God Bless you all.

In HIS service, Chaplain Danny R Chapman
