Reflections for Patrolman Jeremy T. Charron
I served with Charron in the U.S. Marine Corps and feel honored to have done so. A fine man who was taken from us too soon. I will never forget the day I learned of his death. His friends will never forget him. Semper Fi brother!

I'll never forget this incident and how it impacted all of us. Jeremy's uncle was our chief at the time. I remember when Jeremy returned from the Marine Corps and joined us at our chief's house for the annual picnic. He was so motivated and sincere- a solid candidate for police work. To this date I still think about it.

Brother Charron,
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue

Jeremy,
A recruit at the 138th NH Police Academy was chosen last week as a recipient of your award. I couldn't help but think if any of the class members could have possibly led this group as well as you led yours. I came to the conclusion that I doubted that they could.
Please know that you are truly missed and thought of on a daily basis. Until we meet...
Respecfully,

Jeremy,
I think about you often brother even though I never even knew you. while I was in the academy I looked at your classes plaque often, and now mine hangs just down the wall from yours. I'll never forget the day I heard the news, even though I was only 14 years old. Watch over us brother, and god bless.

You graduated from PSTC shortly after I did. I recall going there for continuing ed and seeing your class picture on the wall, just a few down from mine. It just didn't seem real or fair that someone so damned new should be taken.
I left law enforcement for a number of years but have recently returned. I'm starting FTO in a new department in a couple of days, many, many miles away from where I cut my teeth in beautiful state of NH.
Not really sure what compelled me to add this reflection other than to say God Bless and, if you can help a brother out, please keep an eye on me until I get my "sea legs" back. It's been a while, man, and I ain't as young as I used to be.
Thank you, Officer Charron.

Jeremy: A few years ago I had the honor to sit with your parents at a police function. In talking with them I learned a lot about the kind of person you were. I remember how proud your Father was when he spoke about you and the smile on your Mother's face when your name was spoken....It was obvious to me, after talking with your parents, that we lost a good man that day God took you.

I remember when I first met Jeremy. It was in early 1996 on Okinawa.
Although we was known as "Corporal". Jeremy took myself and a couple
of other new guys under his wing. God Bless Jeremy

I am a Police Explorer Cadet with the Portsmouth Police Department. I find that Officer Charron is an inspiration for all aspiring police officers in the state and in the nation. His death was not in vain for he protected our lives when no one else would do so. I hope some day I can be as good an Officer as Jeremy T. Charron was.

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with this Officer. He was truly a dedicated Officer. I will never forget him. This will forever leave a hole in my heart as well as others who knew him.

I had the pleasure of knowing Jeremy. If there was ever a model of what a police officer should be, Jeremy was it. He inspired me while I was working toward becoming a police officer, and he continues to inspire me today. I can only hope that as a police officer, and a person, I can be half as great as Jeremy was.

The riderless horse again makes its path
to finalize anothers wrath
That took from us young proud men, No present or future
We jut have "Then"
To remember these men's hopes and dreams, They are gone
Forever, or so it seems
Hold them in your hearts, keep them warm
Let them live on there, let their ideals swarm
They served and protected,in doing so fell
God now protect Them, They served us all well
In memory of Jeremy Charron, Scott Phillips and Leslie Lord
.....Lest We Ever Forget, God Bless

I live in the small town next to where Jeremy worked, it's a small counrty setting, where everyone knows everyone. I did'nt have the pleasure of knowing Jeremy personally, but I do know some of the local officers and Jeremy will be missed greatly. When i went to Short Falls Rd and left flowers where it happened i felt as if i had know him. I know now that Haven is a safer place. God Bless his family.
Be Safe.

I'm a Sergeant with a local police department very similiar to Epsom. Over the years, I have had the unfortunate experience to attend funerals for fallen officers and they don't get any easier. I didn't have the opportunity to meet Jeremy, but from what I have heard of him he was the model police officer with full dedication to the job.
Mr. + Mrs. Charron, I can only say thank you for producing such a valuable asset to our family. I understand that Jeremy is now in a better place, but I also know that he is with each and every one of us in our duties day in and day out and that is what made him a dedicated Law Enforcement Officer and fellow brother. Thank You and God Bless.

I served my entire Marine Corps career with Jeremy and feel honored to have done so. A true friend who never let me down and was always
there at a moments notice. I will never forget the day I learned of his death. Love you bro.

My prayers are with you and your family.

I knew Jeremy through his cousin Melissa. I looked up to him as a respected Marine and the ideal Police Officer. I attended his funeral and was heart struck at the amount of fellow officers and people who did not even know Jeremy that came to pay their respects.
When you look up to Heaven you can see Jeremy as one of the brightest stars telling everyone to follow their dreams.
I have wanted to follow in the footsteps of Jeremy and my Step Father since I was young and when I do get the chance I will have an Angel in Heaven now to guide me.
Jeremy you will be missed and are loved. I salute you for your service. Fallen Hero but Never Forgotten!

Jeremy was a wonderful person who is never far from my memory. He was bright, talented and a role model for many of his classmates. More people should model themselves after the sort of man Jeremy was.
He will be missed.
