Enrique was one of the men I looked up to. When he came to workout at the gym that I used to work at, he always made it a point to come and chit-chat with the guys behind the counter. Always had a smile on his face, considered the gym "home away from home". A physically strong man, he was one of the winners in our annual bench press competition. I always seeked his advice and answer whenever I had a question regarding the "rules of the road".
Rique, may you rest in peace, my brother.... Greg Aguilucho (Virginia Beach, VA.)

MPO Taitt will be missed greatly. I met him for the first time at an ODU career fair and because of him I signed up for the Virginia Beach Police Academy and belonged to the 50th Recruit class. Every time I saw him, he had a smile on his face. Rest in peace MPO Taitt.

Enrique was one of my favorite customers @ Tropical Smoothie. I'm going to miss seeing his smiling face sitting @ the counter waiting for his smoothie (without sugar) & his sandwich w/ sunchips! I'm so sorry he is gone. We will definitely miss him around here! Love & prayers, Nikki

I am sorry for your loss. I worked with Enrique through the Old Dominion University Career Management Center. He was always so willing to assist us in preparing students for work as officers of the law. His easy manner and willingness to share with others will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I knew Officer Taitt when I was employed as a Coordinator at Centura College, Virginia Beach. He had such a great demeanor and shared a wealth of knowledge. The student's appreciated his words of encouragement and belief in second chances. He will be greatly missed and I pray that Donna, Courtney, and Officer's Taitt's family will stay strong. May God Continue to Bless you all.

I will miss Rique terribly; I met him while working out at Dam Neck in 2003 and developed a relationship with him revolving around sports/working out.
I spotted him during his bench press competition at Dam Neck and was very proud of his 400 lb accomplishment.
He and I spent many hours discussing the Navy, sports and life in general..I was very happy to learn that he had enrolled in college and was furthering his eduaction.
His photography skills were phenomenal and he photographed my blessing.
He was very proud of his daughters accomplishments with cheering as well as her acceptance into Virginia Wesylan and her continuing her education.
You will be missed and I am proud to call Rique a friend.
