Let me just say that Stacy was one of my BEST friends, if not "the best friend". I will always have many great memories with him in police work and as partners doing PI work. Stacy was very special to me, as is his family. Please know that Stacy's family will be in my prayers. Romans 8:28 1 Peter 5:7

I had the pleasure of watching Stacy grow up. He was a wonderful young man. I haven't seen him in a long time, but what I have been reading, he became the great man I knew he would become. My heart is broken for his family, friends, students and coworkers. May God richly bless all of you and always know that we will see him again in Heaven. RIP Stacy. I love you.

I hadn't seen Stacy in many years since church camp. But he was always a fun person to be around, and was a very talented musician. I know we always enjoyed listening and watching Stacy and Jamey play at camp. Your family is in my prayers. May God keep his hand of comfort on you in these passing days.

I know the family is hurting right now, and there's nothing I can say that will take that pain away. Heaven has another angel, when you see your Grandma/Grandpa Mitchell tell them hello for us, find my mom and dad and give them a hug for me.
Jenifer and boys, Gail and Roy, Jamey and Jason: I am so sorry for your loss. Words can not express how sorry I am and words alone cannot bring you comfort. May God give you the comfort, strength, and peace that you need during this time. We will continue to pray for all the family.
