I never knew Deputy Jones personally, but I will never forget how our paths crossed. I remember visiting the peace officer memorial, but I must have visited too soon. Many other friends left their marks on the wall, but Dave's name I could not find.

The patch on my shoulder may not look the same..... The reason I wear it is.

Today I came across your memorial. Thank you for you dedication and service. Please watch over us down here as we continue to hold that thin blue line. Although I have never met you, the pain of losing an officer hurts all the same. I honor and respect you. Rest in peace.

Give eternal rest to them, O Lord,
Whose souls have taken flight.
And lead them to a better world
Where there is peace and light.
Grant them eternal freedom
From conflict, war, and care,
And fulfill for them Thy prophecy,
There shall be no night there.

Pray for us from above. We love you, son, and will meet someday.

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003).

We all grieve over the lives lost in the line of duty. I hope you can find some comfort knowing that there are countless prayers that go out for your family.

These are senseless tragedies that never seem to stop. God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

It was with sadness that I have learned about the death of my friend, Officer Jones. He and I attended High School and Church together. We lost contact with each other for many years and then I discover the day after his funeral that my friend was the David Jones who had been killed. I had tried for about 10 years to find him after returning home and now...
To his family-- Even tho I never met his wife or children your loss is in my heart. He was and is a good person.
Thanks to another peace officer who has provided me with the link to reach this site I am now able to share in Dave's accomplishments and leave a short message.

Dave was in my Army Reseve unit in Pleasant Grove, I only heard he was killed when I returned form the Sergeants Major Academy in Texas this June. It is a great tragedy and loss for the Garfiled Sheriff's Dept and the US Army Reserve. Dave was always happy and a hard worker. He always had a smile on his face no matter what he was doing. He will be sorely missed.

The fact that such ammunition is manufactured by Americans and used by Americans to kill American cops is truly sick and this nation should weep for its pitiable self. Rest in Peace.

Dave was my friend, he and I hit it off the first time we met like we were old friends. He had that way about him. We worked together as Transit officers before going our separate ways. We talked often about our new jobs and about the beauty of the Escalante area and the good people there. Dave did the job he loved with integrity and pride, he called me up to tell me about his first felony arrest like a kid with a new bike! Dave, you are missed by all who knew you. Caroline, please know that you and your children were the most important part of Daves' life. May God bless and comfort all of you.

You always had a smile,
Doing a job full of fear.
You obviously went the extra mile.
You worked hard while you were here.
You always tried to make others happy, it seemed.
You showed love to all your peers.
You were truly part of this team.
While the thanks sometimes lacked,
Through the harsh words and insults,
You never turned your back.
Though all the good you were doing,
God didn’t want you here.
If you wait we will be coming,
But until then, please take care.



I am sorry for your loss, may god bless!

This is in response to Dave's Oldest Sister Paula. I try not to let the ruling on Mr. Barnes' case upset me too much. I know Dave wouldn't want me to. Yet I think the law in Utah should be the same as in California. If you assault a cop, 1-15 years in jail, hurt a cop 15-life in jail. Most of the time the suspect gets out anyhow. For someone to kill a cop, is usually punished by the death penalty. I pray that one day our LEO's will receive the pay, protection and respect they deserve.

My prayers are with his wife and children, for they lost a husband and father. The department lost an officer who died doing what he wanted to do. For it is a sad day for all law enforcement officers when a fellow officer is lost. God Bless.

Condolences to the family of Deputy Jones. He definietley made the ultimate sacrifice! May he assist the other Saints in watching over us. You will always be remembered by us...your brothers.

Deputy Bob Weeks
Juab Sheriffs Office

This Last Wednesday, June 18, 2003, the killer plead guilty to aggravated murder and accepted a sentence to life without possibility of parole. The man who participated in his escape still has a trial to go through.


Once again, I wish to thank all of you for your thoughts concerning my brother's murder. I have learned a great deal.

My feelings range from:

"It is done."

to: "Wait a minute! My brother has been murdered and the man who did it is getting free room and board for the rest of his life and we are spending money on him that could be used to provide pay for more officers, better protection for those officers, or food for the unemployed or children doing without?"

to: "That poor family, how much they must hurt to know their family member killed someone."

to: Oh, David, how I wish I could talk to you, right now."

to: Please, Father In Heaven help me, not to cry too much, help me to make something, no matter how small, good out of this.

To those of you who have written in: You have helped to ground me, and I thank you sincerely.

To the Jones family,
