Rowlett Police Department Senior Patrol Officer Patrick Ray responded to a 9-1-1 call last year regarding a little girl who was unresponsive after choking on a small object. As he rolled up on the scene, he observed a woman holding the lifeless body of a then 22-month-old girl.

“[B]ecause of this man, [I] got to see my princess turn two!” Norvell said in a City of Rowlett Facebook post. “I didn’t miss her 1st year of preschool with her twin brother!
