*******STAND DOWN*****CONDOLENCES ONLY*****STAND DOWN*******
Regrettably, we must call for a STAND DOWN for this Mission of Honor. I have been unable to make further contact with the WVSP Trooper who is handling the service arrangements for Brian.
Due to the lateness, I have no other choice but to ask this to be a Condolences Only thread.
Thank you to all who have posted and have been waiting information. Your willingness to stand in Honor and Respect of one of our First Responders is greatly appreciated.
Respects,
Joe |

West Virginia State Police Trooper Brian W. Linn, from Elkins, WV, an officer with the Troop 2 Detachment, Charles Town, WV was tragically involved in an accident on Friday, November 2, while enroute to assist another officer in the apprehension of a robbery suspect.
Brian has been a member of the WVSP since September 2005 and a member of the Charles Town Detachment since his graduation from the Academy.
He is survived by his wife, Melissa, and two young daughters.
Arrangements are unknown at this time. Contact has been made with the Charles Town detachment of the WVSP and PGR services have been offered.
PGR POC is WV RC Mark McCarter, who will be Ride Captain should this be confirmed and held in the Charles Town area. Should it become confirmed and services held in the Elkins, WV area, other RC assistance will be required.
Please track the mission thread for updates as they become available.
Respects,

Brian, thank you very much for your service to your community and to the great State of West Virginia. The ultimate sacrifice you have made protecting those you swore to serve shall never be forgotten.
May God grant you safe passage as you pass through the Gates of Heaven.
Melissa, Paige, Madeline and all of Brian's family, friends and co-workers...it is my sincere hope and prayer that each of you find comfort in God's mercy at this most difficult time in your lives.
Although very difficult to understand, I pray that Paige and Madeline will realize that their Daddy is continuing to watch over them from his rightful place among the Angels.
Please know the Patriot Guard Riders stand at the ready to show Brian the Honor and Respect he has earned. We are standing by in West Virginia.
God Speed Brian. May you rest in eternal peace.
Respects,
Joe |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Brian W Linn, LEO. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. He is
one of America's Heroes that will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Brian.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

Another Mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my Child have to die on the battlefield of France ?" Yet another Mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my Child have to die at Gettysburg ?" And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms. |
