Don’t Forget to Remember – Fallen Agents Day

February 26^th, 2024

A Day of remembrance for the fallen and forgotten

Seven men were murdered in 2023. A year that proved to be the deadliest year in the history of the repossession industry. Unfortunately, their tragic deaths were only a handful of the known murders committed against repossession agents in that time. While these men are gone, they deserve not to be forgotten.

Don’t Forget to Remember - Fallen Agents Day — Tommy Deen Morris

February 25^th is the repossession industries day of remembrance. The date of which was chosen to commemorate deadly night in 1994 that Houston repossession agent Tommy Deen Morris was murdered on a double assigned repossession account. Tragically, the police and DA refused to press charges.

This year, “Fallen Agents Day”, as it has become known, marks the 30^th anniversary of this miscarriage of justice. Sadly, it also follows the industry’s deadliest year, a year that seven more names were added to this long list of the fallen.

With that in mind, we are again requesting that all those who wish to show their unity in honoring those who have fallen in the line of duty by the wearing of black arm bands in their memory. Because the 25^th lands on a Sunday this year, we are suggesting that it be observed on Monday February 26^th instead.

Since the earliest days of the repo industry, these tragedies were swept under the rug and forgotten. But for every agent killed, there were families and friends whose wounds never healed. Lives destroyed over a stupid car. And with the names of seven more men added to this dark roll, it is more appropriate than ever that we show our love and support for the families, agencies and coworkers of these men both past and present.
