Before John was on the road as a deputy he rode with me many nights. I often wonder could I have shown him more that might would’ve kept this from happening or did I make the job look not so dangerous . I’ve held that a long time never speaking of it. I felt the same way about another officer that died in a car crash that worked for the Town of Cheraw that ride with me a lot also. RIP guys I loved you and I’m sorry if I contributed in even the smallest way. Thanks for giving your all. To all that have new officers riding instill in them the best, I think I did but will always have questions.

Today, I thought of John with love today
but that is nothing new
I thought about him yesterday
and days before that too,
I often speak his name
All I have are memories
and his pictures
HIS memory is my keepsake
with which I’ll never part
God has JOHN in His keeping
I have JOHN in my heart.

John,
The memory of that day will always stir very strong emotions in me. You are remembered and missed by many people. I saw your children at the memorial service recently for you and others who have died in the line of service. They have grown so big. You would be very proud of them. I hope to speak to you again one day.

I did not know you, Deputy, but have been told of you and the tragic circumstances herein. The reflections here are far beyond my poor power to add to, but I tender condolences to your family, friends and the Chesterfield Co. SO.

St. Michael be with you, and with them.

John, There is not a day that goes by when I don't think about you. You and Melinda were two very special friends to us. The girls loved you to death, and when you and Melinda would come visit us they loved to cllimb up on the back of your truck and sit. You were their hero. I know you have been taking care of them for me. Brandi and Hailey had a car wreck when Brandi was 15. The explorer flipped 3 times in the air and landed next to a pile of pine trees. The girls were fine, but when Brandi crawled out the window and looked up she said she saw you. She had to pull Hailey threw the window, but she said she knew you were there to help her. Bennie has called me at times and told me that you were riding with him in the big truck, and that you had told him to call and check on me , and that I was ok. You were a true friend to our family. You have 2 beautiful children. Brittany is a beautiful young lady, and when I see her I see so much of you in her. John Michael is you made over. I see him every day at school. He always gives me a hug and he always has that smile (grin) like you had. I tell him that he is little John Crawley for sure. You should be very proud of them. Melinda and I still keep in touch, she was a very lucky lady to have you in her life. Keep watching over us, and one day we will see that beautiful smile again, Love you!
