Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Well! Chuck you made one of the featured officer's tonight! I was visiting the ODMP tonight around 22:10 on July 3rd, 2003 and just the very minute the home page appeared, there you were! I must admit........you still show up unannounced as always! I was very glad to see you honored in this fashion. You deserve it, my friend. I thought it was pretty neat to see you on the main page. Thanks for being my buddy. I sure miss you!

god bless and keep you. You are not forgotten. Thank you for your years of service and dedication to the people of Jessamine Co. I sat in the same courtroom as you during the trial after my father Gary Kidwell of the Stanford Police Dept was slain in the line of duty. So senseless for another wonderful man to lose his life protecting those he cares for.

Chuck,
Does God let you put all those lights on your crusier in heaven? I just thought it was stars twinkling. Now I know.

Hello old man,

Time keeps moving forward, no stopping that. Some of us were talking the other day about the days before that day. I remember sitting in the office about 5am after that bad pursuit into Garrard, you told us the only people that care about us is us. We have to be the ones to watch our own backs. I believe I will carry that with me till my last day.
For the most part things are starting to move on, notice I didn't say back to normal, it will never be that. The "old crew" is shrinking. I guess that is inevitable, I do miss the closeness that existed before. It can never be the same.
You should see my girl now. She's getting so big, I guess you see that though. Keep an eye on us. Lord knows we will need all the help we can get.

Happy Easter sweetheart Jessica and I Left you some very pretty lily's and I know that you were there. I know it's been a bit. You are with me everyday and we talk all the time. Its a great feeling knowing that your with me. It's spring and I can still hear you fussing about mowing the yard. Knowing all the while you loved doing that. It was your quiet time away from everything. Chaz is doing fine. He's almost nine and his mask is going gray. He still misses you very much. I see all the green grass and buding trees and remember just how much you looked forward to this time of year. I know that it's strange to say but when the sun hits my face I know that you are doing fine. You are greatly missed and always loved
Love Robin and Jessica

Well, it has been over a year. The month of November will always be indelible in my mind. My Mother died in November and my friend Chuck Morgan was shot in the Line of Duty. I always looked forward to November and December because of the holidays and now they can not pass quickly enough for me.

When ever I was down and out I would call Chuck and by the time I hung up the telephone I would be feeling a whole lot better.

This situation was so senseless and totally beyond belief. Chuck, my friend, you are in a far better place. I think of you and your family every day.

I haven't left a message in a while and thought I had better get caught up. The weather has been crazy here. 60 degrees one day and an ice storm that knocked out power for a week the next day. Talked to Robin on the phone the other day. She was dispatching. She seemed well. Take care.

Hey Captain, a new year is upon us and the memories are still here. I find myself laughing more and more each day of the stupid pranks we all found ourselves part of at the Sheriffs Office. It wasn't a normal day if someone in the office wasn't steaming mad.
Still it's good to recall good times vs bad. Hope you are well. Thoughts and prayers surround you and Billy every day and the family members who are still coping.

BEACH

Thank you to everybody who has supported my family. Chuck was a great uncle and a great man. Thank you to every officer, who wakes up every day and does what my uncle did to keep everyone safe. I know you are not told enough that we really do appreciate what you do for us and tha country. My uncle would be very proud of you. THANK YOU.
Stay safe with love from Kentucky

Chuck,
We just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas. I am sure that all the Christmas lights look spectacular from your view. Santa came and visited Tyler and he got way to much stuff. All the Grandparents spoiled him rotten, but that is to be expected. It is still strange not to pack up presents and head down to your house for Christmas. Tyler and you would of had a ball this year. We think of you daily and it makes us miss you even more. James bought me a new blazer for Christmas, I just love it. Had to have something bigger due to the fact that our family is expanding again. They are estimating the due date at July 22,2003. Kinda ironic that it could be born on your badge number 7-22. I think it is just a sign from you telling us that you are well and happy. Please continue to keep us all safe. We love you and miss you very much. Tyler is wanting to write you now.

Well Chuck it's Christmas. I am working tonight and missing you very much. Just doesn't seem like Christmas without you here doing all the little things that you did during this time.
I put up a tree this year it's not much but it's a start. I'm sure
that you would want me to continue with some of the things we did this time of year. I'm sorry I haven't written lately but
I started at central and I've been trying to remember everything. I never understood how hard being without you was truely going to be. I'm trying really hard to take it one day at a time. I don't know how to explain how I feel. I feel lost and alone, I know that I'm not but it just feels that way.
I hope that you are doing good afterall your spending Christmas with the the Birthday person. Spending a Christmas with the Lord.
I love you and I miss you greatly
Robin

Hello old man,

Christmas is almost here and a year has past since that day. Here on earth everyone is preparing for the holidays and I bet up there too. I get to see your brothers and your dad every so often. They are doing good. The memorial would make you proud although I know you werent big on flashy things its really nice.
Take care of yourself and keep an eye on us.

Det. John Bourne
Jessamine County Sheriff

It's been almost a year now.
I love you today more than I loved you then. I am so proud of you that words just can't express. I miss you so much.

Robin M. Wagoner

Hey Captain, been a while. Just wanted to tell ya that I've thought about you a lot lately and figured it was time to drop you a note. All those memos I used to leave ya, probably drove you nuts. Thanks for everything you did for me, you kept me on my toes despite the conflicts. Still have the fun memories. Hope you are still watching over all of us guys "the old crew" even though some of us have changed departments.

Officer Chris Beach
Lawrenceburg Police Dept

Hello old man!

Its been a while. Thanks for watching out for Joe, Kev., and Doodle. It's been rough. Time should be healing all or so it's said. I think whoever came up with that is full of it. Or never lost a "brother".
People just don't understand this line of work. I don't suspect they ever will. Keep watch on me. I'm sure I am screwing up enough for you to be fussing. Take care old man.

Unkie,
Nine months today since that tragic morning. We still think of you daily and miss you deeply. Your memory will be with us forever and your laughter will live in our hearts forever. We will never forget you. Tyler wants to type you a letter also. He is now potty trained (yeah!). James built him a trailor to pull behind his truck. He just loves it. Well, I'll let you go so Tyler can type. We love you.

722,

Been a while old man. I still think of you most everyday. Things are trying to get to some level of stability, but it will never be the same. I miss all the BS you fed us all. I see your brother driving your truck and it always catching me by surprise. I guess the way things used to be will be hard to change.
They've got me doing detective work now. I hope I am making you proud. Watch over Joe, Kev., and Doodle things have been real tough lately. Til the next time take care old man.

Chuck, 7-16-02
8 months have passed and it still seems like yesterday. We all still miss you very much and think of you often. I wanted to Thank You for coming and seeing Tyler the other night. It just blew my away and I started to cry. I quess he does see things that we don't. It was just a strange feeling but seemed so real. Tyler was getting ready for bed and asked me to get your picture for him so I did. He said Unkie miss Tyler. I told him yes you miss him very much. Tyler said "Tyler miss Unkie". We were sitting in the recliner and he was laying across my lap and he said Mommy, Unkie holding Tyler. I said no Tyler mommy is holding you. And he screamed no mom, Unkie is holding Tyler. Thats when I knew you were with him. He fell asleep not even 1 minute after he said you were holding him. It made him so happy and I was crying. Well, I just wanted to Thank You for holding him and loving him as much as you do. Please stop and hold him when ever you can. He loves you so very much.

Chuck -
You were a greater man than you will ever know. You are greatly missed. Keep watch, as I know you will.

Unkie Chuck, June 16, 2002

Tyler would like to wish u a Happy Father's Day. He says he wants to type Unkie. He knows that u are in the sky and he looks up there and says "Unkie, Miss You". I tell him that you miss him very much too and love him a lot and are watching him every day. Robin gave him a picture of you in your uniform and he put it on his bed. He carries it around sometimes and says that its his Unkie. He took it to my grandmas one day and had to show the people there. He told them it was his Unkie and he was in the sky and he misses Tyler. It breaks my heart but at least he still remembers. I know you enjoyed him swimming in the pool the other day. He loves to jump in and swim. I think he has turned into a little fish. This one time he jumped in and went out farther in the pool then he had jumped. I just smiled and knew that you had held his hands that time when he jumped so he wouldn't hit his head. I want to Thank You for that. Please continue to watch over him, he is growing entirely to fast. He talks in sentences now. I know you just love it. Well I better go Tyler wants to type you now. Tell my Dad Happy Father's Day for us and that we love him. Happy Father's Day to you also. We love and miss you deeply.

I'm sorry to hear of Chuck's passing. I umpired with him in various college and professional baseball games. We sure had some fun times. I've talked with many of our former partners and they all had a good story of those fun times. Our condolence to all families and friends of the two slain officers.

Professional Baseball Umpire

722,

Mostly I just check this site and read the reflections. I can't think of things to say. I could write a paragraph and go on for days but it all can be said in two words. Thank You!

I work the night shift at FedEx and last night while our sort was going down, I could not help but think of the good times Chuck and I had over the past 20 years. I met Chuck when he was umpiring professional baseball in the Southern League.I remember he was on his way to spring training one year and when he got to Knoxville he took the I-40 exit to Memphis and to this day I can see him pulling up in my driveway. The next day I made the 15 hour trip to Florida with him.

One thing I forgot to mention in my reflection yesterday was how nice Chuck treated his friends. He always had time to talk to you. No matter how bad things were going in my life I always felt better after hanging up the telephone after I had talked to Chuck.

During the 20+ years we were friends I got upset with Chuck only on one occasion. He forgot to call me when Mrs. Morgan died. I know now he is looking after Mrs. Morgan and my Mother. My Mother loved Chuck Morgan. We considered him family. They are in a far better place.

I just found out on May 13, 2002 I lost one of my old and dear friends. He died on December 2, 2001 from injuries he sustained in the Line of Duty. I considered Chuck family. We had been friends for over 20 years. Chuck would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.

I will never forget the knot in my stomach yesterday when I received the horrible news about my friend. I had to read the email several times before the news finally set in.

I have already expressed to Chuck's Dad, although we lived seven hours apart, If I had known I would have come to see Chuck at the hospital and would have made the funeral if I had to walk. I just lost my Mother in 2000 and now I have deal with the loss of special friend who I considered to be family.

I want to express my deepest sympathy to the entire Morgan Family even though it is remiss. The Family of Chuck Morgan , the Jasmine County KY Sheriff's Department and the entire Commonwealth of Kentucky can be proud of their dedicated servant Captain Chuck Morgan. I will always remember my friend.

Sincerely,
Jim Brown
