I know this time of year is very hard on your family and friends. I think of you often and I wish you were still here. Even though I didn't know you I know what you stood for and that's all that matters to me. Rest easy Warrior.

Officer Aubrey Hawkins' death had an impact on me although I never met the man. I was working for a TV station in Irving, Texas that night and was just a couple miles away from where the incident took place. I remember hearing about it on the news at around 0500 that morning and I cried at the thought of his wife and son waking up on Christmas morning to find that daddy was gone.

I damned the "Texas Seven" and wished them all to burn in hell.

I became a Police Officer the next year and frequently thought about Officer Hawkins. Every Christmas Eve since 2000 I pray for Officer Hawkins and his family. If I am working I type out a short message about Officer Hawkins over our CRIMES chat for other Officers to see.

May God bless you and your family Officer Hawkins.

My heart ached horribly as I watched Officer Hawkins hug his little boy on the video included in the episode of Criminal Pursuit on the Texas Seven. I know you are a grown up now son, but I hope you feel your dad close to you in everything you do. Watching over you, protecting you.... I know he's there because if anything ever happened to me, I know I would stay with my children to protect them until the day their time came to join me. Blessings to you and your family.

I remember going to White Rock Skating rink as kids and meeting up with friends including Aubrey and I remember that smile, he had such a sweet face and was a sweet boy, unlike the most of those boys back then. His name and face stuck with me and when I heard about this when it happened and saw his face I knew it was him and my heart broke for his wife and child. I will never forget those awful days while those men were running and was so relieved they got caught and are now where they deserve to be. Rest in Peace Aubrey.....

Another one of the cowards who ended your watch has had justice served and has made his final journey. If there is truly justice, you will meet him at the gate to escort him to his final damnation. We stood vigil for you and your family so all know just what was taken from us. Rest well brother. We'll keep watch for you down here.

God bless your family. I was hired as an officer the week before your death by another agency in the metroplex, and my hiring officer asked if your murder changed my mind on becoming an officer. Absolutely not, if anything it reinforced the reason I wanted to become an officer. You are remembered and your life was precious.
