Rest Easy Brother. You are gone but will NEVER be forgotten. I'm sorry I wasn't able to be at your Funeral, I was away with the Military. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Heaven has gained another Angel. Watch over us and keep us safe buddy.

Mike and Becky - I have no words....this hurts my heart to the core. Even though I have not lived in Chilhowie for years, my heart and soul is still there with the community and the folks. Both you guys are a big part of my growing up years and you both are embedded into my heart and soul - I am so very sorry. I love you dearly.

Trooper Dowell is a hero. We're all so grateful for his service and your sacrifice, even though gratitude seems like it isn't enough. My dad was a police officer and died in the line of duty several years ago. I don't understand your personal circumstances but i know a little bit about this situation and I'm happy to help in any way I can if you all need anything. God bless you all.
