Deputy Davis,

You don't know me... joined the SO many years after God claimed you to help him... I work at the jail. I live just around the corner from the road deicated to you so it encouraged me to find out about your passing... reading what everyone has posted makes me believe to God called his best back, so keep up the good work up there and keep our guys safe...

Jeff,
First off, Happy Birthday.
It's been 9 years since you went 10-7. I still think about you and our academy time together. Not much has changed, Jason and I are still doing the job. Thanks, for being you. Keep watch and I will see you soon.

Jeff,
My what a journey it has been. I can"t believe it has been 9 years since your going home day. I miss you so much. I think about you every day.
Your neice Lauren is 8 she is a pure joy. She loves softball, reading and just loves life.
Jay is 6 and every bit of a little boy. He loves baseball and riding his bike. So many times I call him Jeff.
Mom and dad were just here and the kids , dad and I played some baseball in the yard. It brought back memories when we would play every night, and yes I am the ball chaser still.
I know you are in a much better place now, selfishly I wish you were here. I often listen to the song Steven wrote, "Heaven's Much Better Than This." I know that but it does not make it any easier. I Love you buddy and will anxiously await the day that we will be together soon!!

Happy Birthday!!
I Love you !!

The deep pain that is felt at the death of every friendly soul arises from the feeling that there is in every individual something which is inexpressible, peculiar to him alone, and is, therefore, absolutely and irretrievably lost. ~Arthur Schopenhauer

So, another LEO passed away today. Just from doing his job. We miss you so much. Branden is 15 and learning to drive!! He needs his Uncle Jeff looking after him (and reporting to his Mama!). Alyson is 7...you would have loved her! She is John Robert Junior. They are duplicates. It is really funny to see, and your mom finally has someone to talk too! We miss you more than words can say.

JR, Melissa, Branden & Alyson

Forever in our hearts...

Hey bro, still seems like 2002 was yesterday on some days. Been many changes since our Charlie Shift days, both good and bad (lots of bad). Many new young guys/ girls on shift at CCSO, who need your guidance everyday. I'm no longer at CCSO and don't talk to many of the guys anymore; but my heart will always be with the good guys and girls there. I'm now at Hamilton S.O. and having a great time working with a bunch of close knit folks. Hope to see you on the other side one day Brother.

What's up Jeff, sorry it's been a while. A couple of years ago I would have never imagined I'd be training the Afghan National Police in Southern Afghanistan. This part of the country is pretty rough and can't count the times where I was almost killed, if it wasn't for my family I would welcome it. Being around death and carnage tends to put things in perspective,sometimes things just happen and you have no control over it. I've seen alot of things here I'll never be able to forget, just like the day you were killed. Hopefully my turn will be soon, not sure I'll go to the same place as you, but could you atleast meet me at the gate so I can see ya. Keep an eye on me bro, I'm gonna need it this year.

This was your temporary home, it wasn't where you belonged, just windows and rooms that you were passing through. This was just a stop on the way to where you were going, and now I'm not afraid that you're gone because I know this was just your temporary home. I love you Jeffster. Always.

Jeff, just wanted to stop by and say hello. It's been 8 years since you went home. I still think about our academy days together and it always brings a smile to my face. Thanks for the memories. See ya soon, Jon.

8 years.... seems like seconds ago. Your smile, your laugh and your memory cross through my mind countless times a day. There are memories that we made, memories that I carry with me everyday but sometimes they just aren't enough, and I want you back here, because I want more. More time, more laughs, more love. Now I know, 8 years later that you are in a much better place and it's so hard but I'm finding peace in that. Keep smiling down on us, keep protecting us and every once in awhile if you get time, could you let me know that you're still here. I love you, and I miss you. Happy Birthday Jeffster.

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones and close friends on this anniversary day of you being called away. To some it will seem like just yesterday they heard your voice, saw your smile or felt your warm touch. For others it has felt like a lifetime ago. Continue to keep watch over all of them. You are a true hero and will never be forgotten.

Happy Birthday Jeff!! It doesn't seem like 8 years has gone by. Still out here working shift and think of you often. Tell my guys almost every shift to be careful...

Miss you but I know you 're in Heaven looking down on us and You'll never be forgotten.

8 years seams to have gone by so fast. My family and I are going back to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial for the National Police week to honor you and the other fallen brothers and sisters who stood that thin blue line. I don't know how its gonna be being there again seeing all those names and families who have lost. My children don't really understand the job I do except that daddy gets the bad guys and put them in jail and helps people. They ask me, "Daddy do you have your gun and can I hook your vest." I hope one day they can understand the job we do and respect those who protect society from those who would do the good people of our community harm. I'll show them your name on the wall and tell them how you saved 3 peoples lives that night through your selfless sacrafice. My children are to young to understand death, other than people go to Heaven to be with Jesus. They will know that is where you are, with their Gaga (grandma). Looking down on them helping to keep them and their daddy safe.

Jeff, Dixie County buried one of there's today. Your Mom taught his wife. He was a great guy, too. It's brought a lot back for her, for others close to you, and me. Somehow I believe you were there waiting to welcome him. Looking forward to the day to come when we won't have these somber LEO processionals accompanying broken families, friends, and co-workers. 'Til then, I continue to pray each time I see a CCSO car that one day all of your Charlie shift will be 10-8 with you. "What a Day That Will Be." As for me, I'm looking forward to seeing you, too. Keep it going up there with my family, and keep looking out for CCSO down here. Love you.

Sunday at 10 oclock and it is slow. Thinking of you and decided to stop by and visit. Keep an eye on us as we work.

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"
