On March 26th, 2007 the Aurora Police Department lost another hero. Officer Doug Byrne was en-route to a medical emergency call at 6th and Laredo in Aurora. A motorist who did not yield to a police vehicle entered Doug’s lane of travel. Doug was forced to swerve to avoid hitting the motorist, which caused his car to hit the median and roll. Doug was ejected from his cruiser. The vehicle that caused this accident then fled the scene. Doug suffered massive head and chest injuries and succumbed to them at approx. 0210 hrs. This is the 2nd brother we have lost in 6 months. Doug was a former Marine and a Gulf War Veteran. He is survived by his parents and girlfriend. The funeral will be held March 30th 1000 hours at the Heritage Christian Center located at E Florida Ave and Dayton St. His body will be interned at Fort Logan at 1400 hours.
