They met after Kyle's backpack was stolen during a trip to Dallas for chemotherapy treatment for a brain tumor. When Officer Matt Passmore heard about the theft, he and Senior Cpl. Bill Knobel and Officer Mike Nealey raised $1,200 to replace the stolen medication and repair the car window that thieves broke to get to Kyle's backpack. They also gave him a PlayStation Portable, a birthday card, and a couple of video games and movies.
