Good Samaritan Asks For Birthday Cards For Boy Who Lost His Father

This is from the Ocean County Police Fire and EMS Facebook page:

“Folks, we have a special request here from Dennis that we’d like to pass on:

Dear Family and Friends,
I would like to ask a small favor on project I’m working on for the son of law enforcement officer brother, Detective Scott Stevens (worked for the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office) who passed away from a single motor vehicle accident while on duty. Detective Stevens passed away a few weeks ago (January 21, 2015) leaving behind his wife Dawn and his 10- year-old son Scottie. On February 19 Scottie will be turning 11 years old and I would like to raise as many birthday cards for him. Thank you very much in advance.

For those of you who are in Law Enforcement, Firefighters and Emergency Medical Service, please include a patch from your agency, department or organization. Thank you
please send your birthday cards to:
Scottie Stevens
P. O. Box 54
Waretown, New Jersey 08758”

Stevens, 44, suffered severe head injuries after an accident on Dover Road in the Bamber Lakes section of Lacey Township on Jan. 8.

He was driving eastbound on Dover Road at 10:53 a.m. when he lost control of the 2004 Honda he was driving, crossed over into the westbound lane and struck a tree, authorities have said.

Stevens - an undercover officer - had been listed in critical condition at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune since the accident. He died on Jan. 21.
