Kenneth and I, served together in the Republic of Panama,
3rd Battalion 7th Special Forces Group. We called him "Wim" for short, he was a fine soldier and a good friend! When you lose someone with whom you've served with it is like losing a family member you always ask yourself, "Why!" I have come to the realization that all our days are numbered here on this earth and we don't have the luxury to choose when or how we leave. I truly believe that some leave this earth prematurely, but only God can explain that! (He has called Home, "A Fine Public Servant; A Great Husband and Father; One Hell-Of-A-Soldier and A Good Friend!") I'll See Ya, When I See Ya!!

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I Wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
See your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughing in the rain
Still can't believe you're gone

It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing, no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today

Would you see the world
Would you chase your dreams
Settle down with a family
I wonder what would you name your babies
Someday's the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know, I'll see you again someday

Someday, someday

Every time a brother dies, thoughts return to you and how much you are missed by those that love you. We are doing well and hope you are proud of what we have accomplished since you've been gone. Take care of Detective Stepnowski as he begins this new journey.
Booyah!

It is hard to believe that this September will mark eight years since your death. I have served for so many years and yet that day changed my life. I will never look upon this job the same way again. You were one of the best officers I had the priveledge of knowing. You were always ready, you were so enthusiastic, and at times, a real mountain to lean on.I miss the big handshake that always ended in you pulling me up to you. I miss you, Ken.

Still think about you all the time big Wimberly. I can still hear you doing your Michael Jackson impression in admissions and then you would laugh so loud it would echo through the whole building. You were a good man and I don't know anyone we worked with who had a negative word to say about you. Should never have happened like it did.

Remembering Deputy Wimberly today.
There is a void in the lives of the families that can never be filled.
They are never forgotten especially the day that they died. They are always in our minds and hearts.

God bless.

It will be 7 years since your family lost you. I know their pain is still there and will be for as long as they walk this earth. Keep watch over them and protect them from harm. You have not been forgotten nor will you ever be. You are a true hero.

~~~Eternally and Always~~~

I didn't get to say goodbye
You're gone without a reason why
I've loved you all of my life
and then you weren't there

I didn't get a chance to say
how much I cared
I can't even remember the tears
that I cried
All I really wanted was to tell you
Goodbye

When I last saw you I felt I wouldn't
see you again
There was a distance between us
that I couldn't explain
You wouldn't look
at me but I could see the tears
in your eyes
If you knew then
You should have told me
Then I could have said
Goodbye

So many words left unspoken
So many hearts left so broken
My love for you is forever
And that will never die
We'll be together always
Our souls are one with God
Eternally and Always
I'll never have to say
Goodbye

It has been more than four years and the pain is still there. Every day I walk by the shadow box at the Sheriff’s department and I have to stop and place my hand on the glass. I miss you buddy. I miss your smile and your jokes. I wish I could have been with you that day. That must be the worst part, not being there when you needed someone. I pray for your family every night and I know I will see you again.

IT IS GOING ON 4 YEARS AND THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I DO NOT MISS WIMBERLY. WE STARTED AT THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TOGETHER. HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE THAT I MET, WHEN I MOVED TO THIS STATE IN 1994. A DEAR FRIEND, A WONDERFUL PERSON AND ABOVE ALL, A PARTNER YOU COULD DEPEND ON. KEN, YOU ARE TRULY MISSED...

DEPUTY SHERIFF Z. BYRAMS
GWINNETT COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT

It has been 3 years now and I still miss you. You always appeared out of nowhere to back up other officers. You were like a Guardian Angel that appeared out of nowhere. There was no one there that fateful day, to back you up. To make your death even more painful, your murderer was given life with the possibility of parole, by a Judge whose life we protect. "He didn't feel right sentencing someone's entire life away." You were never given that option, Ken.
To our Gentle Giant - we miss your smile, we miss your happiness, we miss you. The world lost a son, a father, a friend and an incredible officer that wanted to help to world. You will NEVER be forgotten, my friend. You left an impression with everyone that you ever touched. You are in a far better place, now. A place that you deserve for every incredible thing that you did on this earth.
Until we meet again, take care, my friend

It still hurts to this day, losing Ken as we did. I left Gwinnett the day this happened to take a job with an adjoining county. He was a good friend to us all. We miss you and God Bless.
