FLINT TOWNSHIP -- Michigan State Police confirmed to NBC25 Thursday night that an off-duty trooper suffered a massive heart attack while driving on southbound I-75 and later died.
Forty-one year old David Stokes managed to pull off onto the shoulder of the highway, just before the construction zone at the Miller Road exit. He died at the scene.

Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue, director of the MSP states, "The Michigan State Police is mourning the loss of a great trooper today. Trooper Stokes’ dedication to service will be his legacy. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends in this difficult time.”

SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM-Ex-Sheriff Martin Howe to Will Kane in "High Noon"
"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

Rest In Peace my Brother. May God grant you eternal rest and may He also look over your family and grant them peace now, in their most extreme moment of sorrow.
