Daven was just a kid when Officer Jeremy Henwood showed him kindness—buying him cookies at McDonald’s and offering a few encouraging words. It was a small moment, but it left a lasting impact.
Minutes later, Henwood was gone—shot while sitting in his patrol car. The news shook Daven, who struggled to understand how such a good man could be taken so suddenly.
Over time, that kindness shaped Daven’s path. He started helping others, carrying Henwood’s legacy in small acts of generosity. His dream of the NBA shifted, and instead, he pursued criminal justice—believing that good people should wear the badge too.
Years later, as an officer himself, Daven found himself at a store, paying for a little boy who was short on change. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” he asked. “A firefighter,” the boy replied.
Daven smiled. “Then you gotta work hard for that.”
Life had come full circle. One moment of kindness lived on—proving that even the smallest gestures can leave a lasting mark.
