Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

It will be 5 years this year that your tour of duty ended. So many broken hearts left behind all because of one individual who had no respect for life. You are a true hero and you will never be forgotten by your loved ones nor will the Blue Family ever let you be forgotten. Keep a special watch over your loved ones and those still out on patrol. Thank you for your dedicated service to law enforcement.

You are dearly missed and I keep praying that "he" stays in jail for what he has done to you and your family. You will not be forgotten.

Ron, You kept me rolling with laughter in the academy. You had such a great demeanor. God bless you, your family and to all members of your department. If anyone has ever had a ticket to heaven it was you.

Who You'd Be Today

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
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 your gone

(Chorus:)
It ain't fair you died to 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

(Chorus)
It ain't fair you died to 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

Today Today Today
Today Today Today

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

My arms still ache to hold you,

A Friend,

This message is for the family of of Ron.
I do not know him although after reading all of what I have read tonight makes me feel so deep in my heart for all of you.
For the Mother, As for me I am a mother and I would not know how to even breath without my son. I am proud of you for being able to go on with life and not become absolutely insane. May god be with you. He apparently has been all of this time. God bless and keep you and the rest of yours safe.
For the father.
Please do not blame yourself for not being beside him the night that he died. If you had been there than that bullet might not have went where it was destined to go. God had made you strong, but maybe in his opinion Ron may not have been strong enough to lose you. God will not put on us what we can not handle. It could have been you both that night. Your wife and other sons needed you so God had his plan set out another way, May the lord bless and keep you always.
For the brother(Don)
I feel deeply for you.
I know that it has been so hard for you.
He was part of you and you part of him.
God put you both here together, But he did not see fit to let you leave together. You are strong. I know that you miss him. Keep your faith in God because that is the only way you will see your dear brother again, because he is in heaven, As you will be one day also. I am thinking of you all. God Bless You.

On the 18th day of Feb. in the year of 1972 the gates of heaven open and a Angel was set free.
Now, not knowing where to go he spread his wings in flight and singled out a family to share his human life.
I need not tell you who he choosed I, can't even tell you why.
I can only tell you how I'll feel until I die.
This angel filled my life with dreams. He gave me love and joy. He touched the hearts of all he knew.He is our Special Boy.
Maybe this is the way Mothers are suppose to feel. Perhaps our wounds are never intended to heal.
If I could ask but,one question, "WHY"!
How is it God could need you more than I?
I love you Ron, Mama.

TO: The family; loved ones; friends and department members: A POLICE OFFICER’S PRAYER:--- O, gentle Lord ! Keep the day/night watch with me. As I begin my tour of duty, I ask your protection from all mental, physical and spiritual harm. Sustain me with the knowledge that I am doing your work, endeavoring to keep peace among your people. Help me to be just as I enforce the law without prejudice or favor to anyone. May I be courageous but not reckless in carrying out my duties. Let me respond to all calls with haste realizing that so many are dependent upon me for life and safety. Support me with your consoling power when I am tempted to think no one really cares and that I am taken for granted. Sustain in me the conviction that so many thousands do care and are grateful for my presence. Grant that I may be loyal to my partner and my fellow officers, and that I may back them up effectively when called upon for assistance. Lord, I ask that I may return safely, after my tour of duty, to my loved ones and those who love me. I pray that I may be a good and honorable police officer; and after my tour of duty is over here on earth, may I enjoy the peace and happiness of heaven that you have promised to those who serve you well. AMEN. *** REST IN PEACE *** Sent to you by the father of Master Officer J.D.Koeppen, Capital City Raleigh North Carolina; Trooper D.C.Koeppen, New Jersey State Police and Cadet Officer A.M.Koeppen, Wilmington North Carolina.

Missing you and keeping your memory close to heart.Many tears are still shed when seeing thing that you would have love doing and every time I hear of a drug bust. I can close my eyes and hear you said," That's the way to go my brothers,".To the law officers left behind "Godspeed".
A loving friend always.
