I want to say that I am thinking of you and your family as this holiday season quickly approaches. With the pending snow moving in today, I cannot help but think back to the times that you and I would do our government work in the snow storms and the wives were hanging out together. We would then meet at our house to eat and hang out. Those were great times!

You are still in our hearts and minds, Jason.

Earlier this summer, I was traveling on norhtbound I-75 just north of Berea, KY when my son got ill. We pulled over to attend to his needs. At that moment, a Kentucky Motor Vehicle Officer pulled up to offer assistance. I did not get his name. I write here not only to thank this fine Officer, but to also thank you, Officer Cammack for making our highways safe. God bless your family abundantly!

You are still constant in our minds and hearts Jay. Not a day goes by without us thinking and speaking your name. Hayden has done well knowing he has 2 fathers to love. He said just the other day that he will get to see you in heaven...but was a little put off when I told him that I will probably get to see you first! He has a friend in his kindergarten class that has recently lost her daddy too. He told me they talked about it the other day- what a conversation in reality for 5 year olds to be having huh?
He says he wants to be a doctor. He could be- he is so smart but full of personality and well rounded. I am very proud of him. He received his first report card from kindergarten and had all excellent marks!
He has a crush on a beautiful sweet girl in his class- you would be proud of his taste in girls. Hope he always picks them this well.
I was just thinking about you while sitting at the computer and wanted to let you know how much we miss you and still love you each and every moment of our lives. Watch over him and keep him safe...I want to see you first!

My Sweet Jason,
I have good news for you. Your sweet Hayden made 4 soccer goals last Saturday. Oh how I wish you could have been there to see him. He was thrilled to death. He said did daddy Jason ever make a goal? We told him yes. You would be so very proud of your son. Jay he is a very happy little guy and is a real pleasure to spend time with him and believe me I do ever chance I get. I took he and Brandon to the FHS homecoming game Friday night and they had the best time, they were even on tv. Please keep watch over our family we love and miss you so much. You would love this after 40 years daddy and I have central air. I am so thrilled and I know you would be. If only I could get an extra bath. Bless you my baby. Love ya,
Mama

Reading Jason's reflections has brought tears to my eyes. Although I never knew him, and probably never would have, he seemed a remarkable young man.

I hope, somehow, you can read the reflections left by your family Jason, they love and miss you SO SO much.

Take care young one, and on behalf of all officers throughout the world can I say 'Thanks'.

Rest in peace buddy

Today was a wonderful day for your son. Hayden graduated from Preschool. He acted like a young man. He got a certificate for being a leader to others. His teacher said he will some day be a leader in church or any where he may go. He had on the cutest outfit it was kaki pants and a red and white shirt. His beautiful smile made the whole program. He looked over and saw I was there and his eyes just lit up. He had a good turn out. Christa, Stephen, Bah and Pobs were there as well. Keith Cox's little girl Lindsay was in the program also she is a cutie and Jay she is also is on his soccer team. I know you were really there in spirt and I know also that we miss you terribly and love you so very much.

Jay,
Yesterday Christa, Hayden, Jennifer and I went to Richmond to the Memorial services. It was a touching day. Several of your fellow officers came to us and wanted us to know they are always thinking of us. Sunday you were on my mind all day knowing it was your birthday and I couldn't be with you. I did get to se Hay and Saturday evening Christa had a birthday party for him at Juniper Hills. Today ids Christa's birthday. Daddy and I sent her some flowers to ler her know we love her. I thank God every night for letting us have you to love and care for. We miss you so much and love you.

Our Precious Jay,
4 years have passed and you are still as close and ever. Not a day goes by that your are not in our hearts. I thank God for every minute we had with you it was Pure Love and a Treasure to enjoy every minute we got to spend with you. We are so very Proud of you each day knowing what a Great person you are. I wish your litttle Hayden could have known what a fine person you are. We keep talking to him about you and his big brown eyes light up when he saids My Daddy Jason. Christa is doing a wonderful job keeping you alive in his eyes. He always has somehting to say about you. He is one wonderful child and you would be so very proud of him. We love Christ so much and she is a very special part of our lives. We are so blessed to have her in our family and that she will consider us as her family. After all she and Hayden were your life and we loved you so very much that helps us get through each day knowing you loved us ALL. God Bless you my Precious and till I write again remember We will be with you one day that is so comforting to know.

Love,
Mama and Daddy

hey baby- 4 years today. It's amazing how time has moved so fast, yet crawled by in so many other ways. I am truly blessed to have had the opportunity to be loved by you. I am thankful that we had that time together and were able to make such a great child. I often think about everyone always asking us why we were rushing things, buying a house, having a child all within a couple short years but how thankful I am that somehow we were led to do all of that. You left me with a life that I wouldn't be able to have continued without our house and Hayden. I'm not thankful of course that you left us but things could have been left a lot worse. I feel my heart lifting a bit. The hard shell that it had become is now beginning to crack which allows me to at least look at the positive instead of continuing to ask God why. I still wish I had more to tell Hayden about you. I have these reflections from officers and people that loved you or now admire you for giving your life but you lived so much more than just these years as a husband and officer. I don't know what to do, what to tell him. Your family holds that key I guess. They are so wonderful and supportive. I appreciate their love and generosity. It's not hard to see where you learned to love so well. I wish Hayden for once could feel you, hold you, and know your love without needing someone to explain it to him in words. Send down your love to him- let him feel you.
You are truly loved and missed each and every day.
Love- Christa

To the family of Jason Cammack. I knew Jason from the academy. He was in the class behind mine. While there, I got the oppurtunity to get to know Jason and his classmates pretty well. After class, we all used to go play softball together. I just wanted to let you all know that Jason is still not forgotten.
To Jason's wife: I want to pass on to you my sympathies for your loss of Jason. A little over a year ago, my roomate of 2 years died in a car accident while on duty. His name was Eddie Mundo Jr. Eddies death hit me hard like Jasons did. I want you to kow that they did not die in vain. Jasons spirit lives on in all of us. Tonight I sit in Richmond at the academy, where I met jason, doing an inservice class on accident reconstruction. Jason and Eddie are my motivation in this class, considering both past away from vehicle accidents. Jason has been and always will be an inspiration to me. I wanted you to know that he will never be forgotten and that I consider you and your son as much a part of my family as I considered Jason to be. If you ever need anything, please feel free to contact me at my department 502-222-1300. May God be with you and your family.

Hey Jay,
Its hard for me to even try and say a few words but Ill try. I'm sorry it was you that had to go that night. I can recall millions of times even after your accident that it could have been my last. One things for sure I'll never forget you. The last time I saw you I was at supply in Frankfort and you came over on your off time with your boy. You were so proud of your boy and you two fit so well together. I've got 4 boys myself and I feel pretty guilty at times. I know that you watch over him. Jason you should be proud of the funeral service they gave you, it was amazing and rightly so. During last call I cried with Jamie next to me. Sometimes I lay in bed with my boys and I just cry hoping something won't happen to them or myself. I think just as you feel now atleast if something happened to me I know my wife would take great care of them. My brother is graduating DOCJT next week and I'm going to the graduation. It's going to be hard but I'll be thinking about you. I can't say enough how sorry I am that you had to go. You will always be my brother and my friend. I'll see you upstairs one day until then we will never forget you. And I'll hold my wife and my boys closer every night because I know it could be my last. And I know that is what you would want us all to do. God Bless, Love ya man.

Jay,
It's another Sunday without you. Sunday's are hard for me since that being the day you left us. It seems the day is so long and knowing you won't be coming back really hurts. It helps writing to you knowing I won't get a reply but deep in my heart I feel like you know what I am saying and how much we love and miss you. Our Precious didn't get to come this weekend he had a virus. I went out Friday evening to see about him and when I got there he ran out to the car. He was happy to see me. He brightenes my day as my other grandchildren do. I am so fortunate to have my dear family and the loving memories. I always tell people as long as I have my memories in my heart I will always have YOU in my heart. I have wonderful memories and no one can take them away from me. Daddy has just finished watching the UK game they beat Florida to win the SEC tournment. They are playing well now that it is time for the Sweetsixteen. It is almost Spring Break and we have nothing planned maybe rest alittle. Sweet angel as I close let me remind you just how much you are LOVED and MISSED. Thanks to God life can go on and we will all be together one day. For now Love to you.

Hey Jay- Just thinking about you and had some time to write to you. I hope you can see your wonderful son growing up. If God is a great being, I'm sure you wouldn't be missing out on something so great! He says he will be my baby forever. We tease him about getting married and moving out one day and he actually gets upset. He wants to always live with us and never move out! He is doing very well in school- a great problem solver and thinker. He doesn't let someone else solve problems for him. He's a little sassy thing. I am sure you are just cracking up with some of his "sayings" and actions. He thinks he is hilarious - just as you thought you were- He keeps a smile on my face most of the time. We did well honey! Watch over him and protect him. Sometimes I get so scared something will happen to take him from my life. Please use your pull up there to keep him here with me. I watch those sad little shows on children's hospitals and almost lose my breath at the thought of one day finding out that Hayden is sick. He's all of you that we have besides our memories. Watch over him, keep him safe every day. Love you always- Christa

Jay,
It's a freezing Friday and I can't wait for school to be out so I can get home so my Precious Angel can come. Yes, he still comes on Friday nights and stays and enjoys every minute of it. I have his chocolate milk, cinnamon waffles and vanilla ice cream. We will go to McDonald's to get chicken nuggets and a toy with coke of course. Christa doesn't let him have coke much so when he comes to see nanny and papaw Mouse that is our little secret he says. You would be so proud of him he is just Wonderful. The other kids are doing well. You would be so proud of Emily she is a SSS cheerleader and Andrew is playing basketball for the 7th grade at Bondurant he was one of three from the 6th grade to make the team. Ryan is sharp as a tack and well we don't see Christian as much as we would like but he is thriving I keep in touch with his mama. Brandon is a big Louisville fan and a Republician just like his dad we don't hold that against him. I can't say enough about your Hayden he is just Wonderful and makes us laugh all the time. He is ajoy to be around and I thank God for him every day of the world. You would be so proud of Christa she is a wonderful mother and yes she is still our daughter-in-law. Shephen is a super person and takes good care of Hayden and Christa. You would really like Stephen. He is a caring person and we think the world of him. Sweet boy we love you as much today as we did going on 4 years now. You will always be our baby and we will "ALWAYS" LOVE YOU. Till I write again keep smiling. Mama

Another school year...I find myself wishing the days away only realizing that every day I wish away finds our baby another day older. He is so great! I couldn't imagine life without him...it scares me each time we are apart. I just pray that you keep him here on earth with us. We have all suffered too much with you leaving. Life would never be the same without him. He is loving school- very good in math. We ride all around town giving each other math problems..I have 5 apples and give two to you...you know. Can you believe he can do that already? He also knows the days of the week...I think he is just amazing for 4 years. His sense of humor and personality are so quick and witty.
A lot has changed...Time can't stand still...although your memories do. It still hurts honey. I've found somone wonderful to love me and help take care of Hayden. There is this part of my heart reserved for you...I try to keep it closed so the tears will stay in my eyes. I've learned to be tough. Maybe a little too much...I've shut myself down a bit to cope with loving you and moving on at the same time. Not too sure how it is to be done.
your family is great and very supportive. We see them all the time. I am so blessed that things have stayed open and accepting.
Not a day goes by...literally, that I dont' think about you. It seems like such a long time. I try to keep the memories fresh. I wish you had ever written to Hayden as a baby as I had. It makes me angry that you put that off when I asked you to do it so many times. There are a lot of things I am angry about. Life goes on...it has to. You will always be the biggest part in so many people's hearts. Love you, me.

Hey Jason, I am writing this with a very heavy heart - my stepmom passed away this past week; she had just turned 60 the week before. All of those awful feelings of grief are back. I can't hardly stand to look at my dad; he is so devastated. I told Jana that you would be there at the gates of heaven to welcome her grandma and that you would be sure to look after her for us. Please look after the rest of us down here, too. We love & miss you so much!

Although I did not know Jason, he is still my brother. We here in Chesterfield lost a fellow brother in May of this year and I found out how hard it is. Having read all the reflections left by family, friends and fellow officers, it is easy to see the type of man and police officer you had become. I know that Ryan, yourself and all of our other brothers and sisters are watching over us each and evry day. God Bless you brother.
