Bryan,
I miss you Brother. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I was honored to write your tribute for this year's CPD Memorial. I had to pause to wipe away the tears thinking about the impact you had on so many lives, especially mine. I can't wait to see you again in heaven. I pray often for your family. I am thankful that God put you in my life path. Love you Hurst! -Romans 8:28

Officer Hurst, you are not forgotten!

Your service had a huge impact on this community, and you sacrificed everything to protect us. Your actions on your last watch were nothing short of heroic and really speak to your character. I only met you the one time, but I could tell you were a quality person and a good officer.

Although you are gone, #2057 will never be forgotten!

God bless you and your family.
