Obituary Brian Joseph Silldorff, 48 Columbia South Carolina

Brian Joseph Silldorff, 48, of Columbia, SC passed away on Wednesday, September 23, 2020 due to suicide after struggling for many years with depression.


 
Brian is survived by his beautiful wife, Alicia Chavis Silldorff; daughter, Josey Marie Silldorff; and his beloved dog, Jax. 

Brian was a 1989 graduate of Limestone HS in Bartonville, IL, a 1993 graduate of Western Illinois University in Macomb, IL. He earned his Masters Degree in 1994 from Western Illinois and immediately started his career in Charlotte, NC as the Youth Director at the Harris YMCA. 

While at the YMCA, he started the long standing programs Middle School Madness, and Jammin’ at the J that were attended by thousands of youth for many years. He then followed his heart and returned to youth ministry at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Charlotte, NC followed up with a call to serve as the youth minister at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Columbia, SC. 

Over his twenty years in youth ministry he led groups in over one hundred mission trips in the United States and over twenty mission trips to Costa Rica were he served as an Honorary Canon to the Episcopal Diocese of Costa Rica. 

Brian was recognized as the first youth minister to lead youth in raising over one million dollars through the World Vision youth engagement program, The 30 Hr. Famine. 

After Brian’s retirement from youth ministry he founded Youth Architects, a coaching and tutoring company for youth and young adults. 

He is also survived by his father and mother-in-law, Vaden and Linda Chavis of Lexington, SC; sister, Michelle Silldorff Burrell of St. Petersburg, FL; step-mother, Sandy Silldorff, Peoria, IL; step-siblings, Teresa (Troy) McCrery, Mike (Dawn) Brockhouse, and Kim (Bill) Troutt all of Illinois; 12 nieces and nephews; and hundreds of friends who were his family around the world. 

He is predeceased by his parents, Sandra Dearth McKinley and Herbert Joseph Silldorff. 

There will be a private service on Tuesday September 29, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. 

The service will be available to view via Facebook live. 

Barr-Price Funeral Home and Crematorium, Lexington Chapel, is assisting the family. 

In the words of Brian, “Close ‘em, fold ‘em, bow ‘em, this is the Lord’s time.”

Cedar's Take:

Mrs. Cedar and I've known Brian for more than 25+ years. The news comes as a shock and the sadness is overwhelming. Brian's obituary is frank statement of fact that was unexpected and is sobering. Brian was one of the most upbeat enthusiastic people we've ever known. His struggles with depression were unknown to us and we suspect most who knew him would say the same.

What an incredibly selfish act to bestow upon your wife and daughter. The ones left behind are the real victims of suicide.

@1023. Keep it classy...

I’ll go on a limb and say that if a person came to you telling you they were having thoughts of suicide, you’d tell them to suck it up and ignore them. Please god tell me you don’t work for CMPD or some other LE agency where PTSD is an actual thing or depression or anxiety? Please tell me you’re a computer nerd who sits in an office staring at a screen and not interacting with people who are subject to the things that breed mental illnesses.

Or don’t tell me anything and just STFU.

-Cowardism
-Perjury
-Lost Service Pistol

What the hell did you think the gun was for, huh? Show-and-tell? Look, you'll get over it - all right, they'll send you to BSS, you'll do all that Buddhist "I love and revere all sentient beings" crap; then at o'dark-thirty, next time you're up, you will drag your weary, fried ass out of bed, you will put on your gun and your vest, and you will do it all over again. You know why? Because this is a front row seat to the greatest show on earth. Can you abuse it? Yes, sir - you can, and you will; I guarantee it. Because it is relentless, and it gets to you, and it seems like it changes nothing. But a day like today, with some interesting capers, and a few good arrests? That's good. But every once in a while, you get to take a bad guy off the streets for good... and that, my friend, is God's work. So now you wanna be a pussy and quit, you quit. You're a cop because you don't know how not to be one. If you feel that way, you're a cop. If you don't, you're not - you decide

I appreciate your sentiment, nevertheless we are on our own. JJ has turned his back on his own department and threw us under the bus. Ive seen these videos and honestly that could have happened to anyone, yes medic should have been called but to terminate FIVE outstanding officers to meet your agenda is horrendous.

If JJ can do that to them, can you imagine what he would do to any one of us?

Another great example,

They stated we were able to use chemical agents and even though he anticipated riots he made sure we wouldn't be able to use them even if we need them. When we were out on the line in late may. Those chem agents saved us a great deal because it detered people now we on our own with "pepper spray you can buy at walmart" what a joke.

At this point if any of you guys are dumb enough to stay with CMPD after all this you've got no one but yourselves to blame. If you are doing your job and get thrown under the bus, don't say you weren't warned. Yes, the neighboring agencies pay less but you will go home with less stress and not wondering which one of your co-workers are going to stab you in the back. Our chief backs us if we're in the right and he will tell BLM to suck it.

We are short in every division on every shift but the ivory tower ass hats know what they’re doing right?
At first I admired the certain amount of arrogance a CMPD officer has (I’m a lateral) but with arrogance should
come a sense of backing that up. We’re managed by a bunch of idiots. If they are so smart why do we have a
retention problem? Why is there a failure of the academy to produce officers that know how to de-escalate and know
that swallowing coke will kill a person? Other agencies are laughing at us. RoMo embarrassed us with the Marcus Jackson and
Wes Kerrik thing. Putney was chief when these 5 geniuses didn’t call medic and let them stay on desk duty for 8 months... all the while planning to retire and come back to get his double dip. How’d that work out for you? and now JJ’s bobbled headed ass gets on TV and
continues to make fools of all of us. Great leadership.. give yourselves a raise.

The bottom line...is that Charlotte is lost and isn't coming back. The streets havent been safe in 10 years. The cops are burger flippers and the schools are the worst in the state.

I want to see real stats come out of CMPD about their crime rates(homicides, robberies, assaults, stolen vehicles, terminated officers). The epicenter is shut down for good and southend is the next target for these hoodrats.

Find a place to hide and stay there. You are not safe doing anything anymore. You will be terminated at the drop of a hat to save face or money and the guy making the actual decision to do it has been the subject of an IA investigation that was substantiated and still got promoted AND put in charge of IA... If that isn’t the best example of why you’re an idiot if you do anything, there’s no help for you. Make your 28 and skate brothers and sisters. The grass turns green when you get rid of the badge.

While I was raised in Charlotte I was gone for 25 years chasing work and wasn't here in 1993 -- good recap here of the 1993 Troubles and the situation with Andy and John (RIP both): https://www.charlottemagazine.com/1993-charlottes-deadliest-year/

Interestingly the article makes specific mention of the "jumpout" boys who I'd never before heard of until starting to read this blog early this year.

Cheers to you and all of your colleagues, we appreciate your service.

You can't blame the SGT for sending an officer. The officer pulled the trigger and was trained not to put her finger on the trigger by the range. Its a simple tactic that she failed at.

I heard she was a badge bunny. Who yall fucked her?

@0919 Are you command staff? That sounds like their idea of leadership. Set officers up for failure and then deny any culpability when things go side ways. If what I’ve heard is true, and I’ve heard it from multiple sources so I’m sure it’s fairly accurate, the biggest failure that day leadership. It’s a sad situation all around, but she has the least amount of blame.

12:40 is either Cecil or some other IA bastard trying to bate us, or a company man eager to please and still climbing that ladder. Let me break it down for you brown nose... No one is saying they're not going to do their job... we're just not being as proactive as we used to be... so be it a stop sign violation, 5-10mph over, maybe an odor of weed (which will get tossed in Meck county anyway) we ain't doing shit! Now, if its a crime dangerous to life or one of my brothers/sisters calling 10-33 traffic I am all over it... pretty sure anyone would be but since you want a pat on the back because you are doing such a stellar job and keeping the brass happy I am sure Cecil will weed through the rest of the white boys and eat you last.

Bottom line, don't try to hate on us because we're smart enough to see the culture at hand here. No one is afraid to do the job, we're afraid of what happens after we do said job. Talk that oath shit to the DA when you spend hours papering a case and then they do deferred prosecution.. come talk to me then.

Don't even speak on the OATH when you know some of the people that work here and lie straight to people's faces. Its absolutely disgusting to work with some of these people.

The purpose of this blog is expose these people and have some humor in our work days. If you don't like it, then don't read this blog.

It won’t be there for you when you retire.

^^ makes perfect sense actually. I’m just not sure what the state will do. I gotta say I never thought about that before. The old guys that retired 30 years ago still collecting a pension til they die, there are dwindling numbers of officers paying into the system... by the time I get to retirement I’m not sure they’ll be money enough left.

144 probably has like 1 year of service. He wasn't at the LEC when Peacock's boys were running that ACN scam or when Chuck Hensen was fucking Rooks on his desk at the office.

I’m looking forward to the pension system going broke only so that guy who posts about it every story can die in peace. It’s the only joy he has in life.

5:28. That is a dick comment to make. Your man is trying to warn you so you don’t loose that money. That’s a hook up bro. Don’t bite the hand that feeds

There will always be poor people that need jobs and CMPD only requires a GED. There will always be recruits to fill the roster spots and pay into the pension system. The city does offer a free bus pass to all officers in Charlotte CATS.

8:01. If that’s correct why are we 600 officers short?

I can remember a time when we turned away very qualified people due to the overwhelming number of applications. It seems as though we are now begging people to apply. This should send a very clear message to the city and dept leadership. Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

How about the CFD Battalion Chief giving selective perspective new hires the interview questions prior to going into the interview? Same shady mismanagement, new leaders. Or we could talk about the almost 1/2 the recruit class they fired. When you lower the bar, don’t be surprised. They are just trying to meet quotas, and demographics. They don’t want truly qualified people.

I haven't heard about Chuck Hensen fucking Rooks on his desk at the office. WTF? literally.

All of this mess started in 2008 when Blazing Sadddles (RoMo) rode into town. The effects of promoting unqualified people to leadership positions is still being felt today. It was predicted then what the long term impact would be on the dept. I cannot remember a time prior to Monroe when anyone would be terminated or targeted for doing the job. You really had to work extremely hard to lose your job but simply doing your job was not to be feared. Officers typically were terminated for stupid shit they did off duty. This vindictive culture is still alive on the 3rd floor. That is why people like Cecil can get "Little Cecil" polished on the clock and get promoted. And so it goes for anyone else as long as you are not a target of a vindictive white shirt. It was unthinkable that anyone would become a target for simply doing the job and some unfortunate shit happening as a result. And digging thru year old BWC footage to jamb someone up was not even a consideration. Sad times we are policing in now. As others have said on these posts, just hide and do as little as possible unless you want a target painted on your back. If you want to "Police" you had best find a dept and community that appreciates policing. Charlotte is not it and that has been made clear from the very top.

600 officers??

That's like 6 divisions. How can you even manage the rising crime? Homicide is up 16% and robbery is up 70%.

11:44 you think the white shirts care? Nope. They will when they’re the ones needing to answer calls when no one is left. Pull your pants up Cecil.... time to do some work

Just curious why TopGolf is putting a location at University City. Do they not do their homework before locating a facility? How many locals up there are 'golf folks'? How long before you men in blue just permanently locate there to keep response time for disturbance calls down? I'm going to go ahead and say that is the peak for that franchise right there.

No shit. Putting a Top Golf in UC is kinda like putting a Pier One Imports on West Blvd. Will inevitably face the same fate. Apparently their marketing team didnt do their homework on this one.

Cant' be true "8:21." We're not 600 officers short, but maybe closer to that number if you include the increased officer manning allocations under Chief Putney when the city council approved over 100 more officers. But if we're still 400 to 500 officers short, yeah that's pretty bad! I hope that stat is false.

Anonymous said...

That is including the 100 we’re supposed to have to put us at full staffing. So yes technically we’re down 500 but geez. 500?! How many academy classes is that? We’ll never get to where we should be and when Antifa burns this bitch to the ground after Trump gets re-elected ol JJ and gang will have no one to blame but themselves.

Anonymous said...

You idiots fail to also realize that not ever officer is qualified to back you up. So you have the 500 + 300 worthless/dangerous officers.

Does the airport count? I know you all don’t consider us to be real police

Campangia is a major and he lied about Wes Kerrick so he is one.

King is pretty bad for going after that Airport Cop about his telephone.

Sgt Muhammed it is up there, too.

Who cares....
Who gives the best fellatio in the dept? That's far better intel!

Anonymous said...

2:17. I know about Campangia and his eyeliner wearing ass and Mohammed kneeling for BLM (sellout traitor) but hadn’t heard about King.. what’s the backstory on that? As far as felatio goes I got a few names but what happens on 3rd stays on 3rd

Haven't heard about King either. ???
