We sincerely appreciate your time and effort in this matter- Thank you.

A very special thank you goes out to the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 71 the Korean War Veterans Association Chapter 4, specifically P.G. Gentrup & Jerry Bondurant and all of the veterans who have stood hand in hand by us like brothers during this time. You have been an unbelievable resource and blessing to our family. Thank you.

We would also like to thank Mike Page and his lovely wife Sue, the neighbors across the Street from Walt & Faith, who were gracious enough to open their home to all family members and law enforcement officials who worked tirelessly throughout all hours of the night. Your Hoosier hospitality will always be remembered. Thank you.

To the Community. Your outpouring thoughts, prayers and donations are deeply appreciated. Everyone in this family is so thankful for the amount of support shown during this most difficult time, specifically, the Dearborn Adult Center. Thank you.

This is a safe and wonderful community to live and grow up in. We hope that with the announcement today that the community will rest easy tonight, knowing that the hard work put in by your local, state and federal law enforcement have ensured that our streets are safe.

As many of you know or some of you may not know, Walt Bryant Jr. was one of the few TRUE AMERICAN HEROES. His commitment to his country extended past his 21 years of active duty. We are humbled by his service to his country, we are thankful he was blessed in our lives, but we are heartbroken that he and his dear daughter Faith were taken from us all.

At this time we are committed as a family to let the judicial process run its course.

We please ask that all further questions or interviews be directed to law enforcement officials.

We as a family will make no further comments.

REST IN PEACE WALT BRYANT Jr. & Faith Craig...YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
