Dale,
   You will be missed by all who knew you. I remember, back when you worked for Clute Pd, you came by picked me up and said we would be out riding around for only a few hours, ten to twelve hours later I finally made it home.
    You married by first born daughter and together you gave me my first two grandchildren Julie and Becky. Mary and I will forever be greatful to you for making us grandparents. There are so many memories, one can't put down all of them. You may be gone from this life, but not gone from those who knew and loved you. Peace be with you.

Forever in Our Hearts,
Dub and Mary Rogers

I was accepted into the Clute Law Enforcement Explorer Post and Reserve Unit in 1974, where I met Luther.  I spent many nights riding in a police car with him and learned a whole lot about becomeing a police officer, guns, Hank Williams, John Wayne, and George Jones.  In 1977 he introduced me to his sister-in-law, Patsy. On our first date we doubled with Luther and Brenda, going to the movies to see "Walking Tall: Final Chapter".  In 1979 I married Patsy and Luther and Brenda served as Best Man and Matron of Honor.
There is no one in the world like Luther Dale Adams.
You have always been and will always be my Brother-In-Law, and I'm gonna miss you.

         Father, peace officer, hero...the list goes on. I have so many memories,so many that it's hard for me to choose what to put down. I can still remember how he smelled. Stetson.I remember every morning without fail he would come to the breakfast table and give us a kiss and tell us he loved us.He loved us so very much. He had a Great sense of humor too. Dad had these birthday records that he would play during our parties, they had our names sung into them; it was awful!!  I miss that.He taught me so many things as I was growing up. He knew the meaning of family. He was very protective of us and never let anything harm us. I am so grateful to have been his daughter. I will always remember how he took time out of his busy schedule to spend time with us.Believe me,when you're a police officer that can be hard to do. I know, I know, yes, I will see him again,but until that fine day....I've got my memories to hold me up. For Rebecca and Lucas never forget the porch swing,the trampoline,the music,the food,that beautiful river, the laughter and the tears. I'm also grateful for Elaine; she was there when we sometimes we couldn't be. I love you daddy.

I depart as air, I shake my white locks at the runaway sun. I effuse my flesh in eddies and drift it in lacy jags. I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love, If you want me again, look for me under your bootsoles. You will hardly know who I am or what I mean, But I shall be good health to you nevertheless, And filter and fibre your blood. Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you.

I have met many people in my life and throughout my law enforcement career, but there is only a very select few that I consider a "true" friend. Someone you can actually trust, who is there for you, who cares for their friends and family 100%, who puts God and faith first, and who will never lie to you. The person at the top of this list is, without a doubt, Luke Adams. Luke took me under his wing when I started at BCSO and we were close friends until the date the Lord called him home. This man was such an amazing person; I loved his western stories and conversations about history and his faith in God. He served his country for the majority of his life, from fighting for our freedom in Vietnam and then serving the citizens of Brazoria Co. as a peace officer. Luke risked his life countless times so we, the people, could be free and safe. Luke always spoke so highly of his family and you could tell they were his life. His kids are what made him so happy every single day. Luke will be missed but never forgotten. I love you buddy, please enjoy your peace in heaven. We will meet again one day.
