I had the honor to know Stuart through OpTac. Stuart was a valuable resource I will never be able to replace. Stuart still inspires me to be a better leader for my team. To Stuart´s family, thank you for sharing him! I am raising a glass for Stuart now.

I first met Stu while working for Montgomery County's Shift 5, Germantown District. He was down to earth, quick, decisive, smart, and always had your back. I could always see his wheels turning, always thinking ahead. I did not know of his many successes after I left the police department, but it does not surprise me. What a great guy and a huge loss. His family is in my prayers.

Stu was a great friend to me. We had fantastic conversations in which we "solved" all the world's problems. It was great fun. He talked about Joe and Brian all the time. I miss our conversations. I am sorry for your loss.

I want to express sincere condolences to the Myers Family. I learned so much from Stu, we were friends, he was a mentor to me. Stu changed my life as I was a student in his classes, and then was able to be a part of OPTAC International. I was shocked to hear of his passing. RIP Stu.
