"10-7 10-42 St. Lucie 267 "

Yesterday they laid to rest
Master Deputy Steve Roberts
A deputy killed in the line of duty
Time will somewhat ease the pain
and his memory will slowly fade...

Now, the funeral is over
and the general public will soon forget
about the Sheriff's Department Motorcycle Officer
that sacrificed his life
"to protect and serve"
the people of St. Lucie County

How soon they will forget
how this man for 14 years
wore his Sheriff's Motorcycle Division uniform
with honor and pride
watching over and keeping safe
the school children in the area

The kids will miss "Deputy Steve," his motorcycle
and his mounted patrol horse Dakota
tremendously
His co-workers, family and friends
will miss his big smile and joyful laughter
around town and the station...

"HEADQUARTERS TO ST. LUCIE 267 ...
WE LOVE YA' STEVE AND WE'RE GONNA MISS YA' ...
YOU HAVE GONE... BUT THOSE OF US WHO KNEW YOU
WILL NEVER FORGET YOU...
10-7 10-42..."
