Jan 6, 1979 - Aug 13, 1999

An officer's sworn to protect and serve,

Answering each call with unwavering nerve,

Never knowing when life will throw out a curve.

A policeman's life was what I chose,

To follow a noble, honorable code,

And it cost me my life on this very road.

As you stand upon this ground, be aware,

Take a frief moment and say a small prayer,

For my fellow officers still out there.

My family and friends have one last request,

That as a citizen you do your best.

Thank you for remembering and May God Bless.

Marker is at the intersection of Roper Mountain Road and Woodruff Road, on the right when traveling south on Roper Mountain Road.
