Reflections for Patrolman Billy Ray Wynn
This man was my grandfather. I never got the opportunity to know him personally. I was born in 72. I've heard a lot of good things about him from family members. And it's good to read so many positive things about him here several years after his passing. Thanks to all of you! - Jerry

I was 10 years old when Patrolman Wynn was killed. My grandparents lived across the street from his home. We woke Christmas morning to a street full of cars and activity , and found out he had been killed.
To this day, every Christmas, my thoughts return to that morning in 1967.
Patrolman Wynn, you will always remain in my thoughts. May you always rest in peace.

My family and my life was affected by the passing of Trooper Wynn, as my father also received the call the next day to transfer from his DPS Station in Conroe to come to Jasper and take Trooper Wynn's (tragic) open position. At the time I was 3 months old, and was from then on, raised in Jasper. R.I.P Trooper Billy Ray Wynn.

BILL Ray Wynn was a lawman. He told my father that he thought he would die out on the highway or a back river road and He and my sister, Mrs. B. R. Wynn had prepared for the knock on the door which came on Christmas Eve Night. He left a major legacy in Jasper. The teenage boys had nothing to do, So he gave them work ,(like mowing the elderly yard or Putting all the mail boxes back up that they had knocked down. He was my brother-in- law.
