He was an outstanding police officer who was very honest, thorough and cared about every citizen he came in contact with.
He was a God fearing man, faithful husband, devoted father, loving son, cherished brother.

Montrell enjoyed fast cars, steak, and shrimp, anything red velvet, and loved buying graphic t-shirts and tennis shoes (he was a sneaker-head).
