I remember Officer Brumfield going all the back to my days as a student at Horace Mann H.S. He had such an impact on many of our lives. Kept us in check but always provided guidance and support. When I became a State Trooper he gave me exceptional advise on the law enforcement profession. He left his mark on many of us and he served his community well.

Officer Brumfield you've were an exceptional Man and faithful servant. Thank you as I pray for your family. Rest in Peace Sir.

He will always be remembered as a great man and I personally give him the highest respect for serving at Horace Mann as Officer Brumfield! We had the best security - Percy, Drake, Houston, and Brumfield was at the top of the list.

Later in life, we would all see Brumfield and his beautiful wife at the Genesis Center on Wednesday nights.

Rest well good and faithful servant.
