I knew you, Jay, when we played soccer way back in high school. I was saddened to hear about your death and the death of PFC Ezernack. While two decades have passed since we last talked, I know you were loved by many and are missed to this day. You will not be forgotten. Rest easy, brother. We still have the watch.

May your family, friends and fellow officers find comfort in the legacy you've left behind.

Today was an eye opener for me. Only by the grace of God I Made it home alive. Ive been a police officer for approximately seven years. I was in a situation today that i realy cant get into but the leadership was not to say up to par. I Spent 8 years in the Corp.and I have my ways of doing things and i thought about you today and the rest who fell that day. I known you look over all of us or at least you try! I Never knew you or the others who fell that day but did go through the APD training. Im Lucky to be alive today. Im so frustrated because im in no possision to say anything or voice my opinon on what happened today. I did get a chance to meet your mother during training, she's a sweet heart and she misses you very much. I love my job and it going to be the ones who take just the simplist calls and past them as a joke. Every call should be handled with extreme caution. Patrolman GD..

Just stopping in to say I love you and miss you...went walking through the woods at Wainwright Rd. yesterday and it was so peaceful but I thought about you alot. You helping daddy working all the time. Helping him build things. I have this strange photographic memory of you on the roof laying plywood and tar sheet...your big tattoo on your back was barely visible because you were so dark from either working or fishing (mostly fishing lol) strange but that is one memory that stands out. Until next time!

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting your mom a few weeks ago. And while I never knew you, you have touched my life. Her smile and eyes LIGHT UP when she talks about you. Her love for you is so obvious and represented in her crusade all over this world to help other families and departments, and to spread awareness of the effects of losing a police officer. I know she is doing so much to help others, while daily living with the pain of losing you and the joy to know you now live in peace. She said you always used to tell her "Are you just going to sit there or get off the porch?" She hears you loud and clear, and this drives her to reach out to others daily. I know your family and brothers in blue miss you daily. Please continue to watch over them and keep them safe!

Jay,

Time is passing so quickly. Our girls are growing up so fast. I can't believe Noelle is in high school, and Margaux in 5th grade this year. There's not one day that passes in which you aren't on my mind. I often contemplate what our lives would be like if you weren't taken from us. We miss you so much, and only find comfort in the knowledge that the Lord has promised we will meet again. Love you forever. 6-4-94

Love,
Kim

SSG Carruth, thank you for taking time out of your day to talk to an E4 who wasn't even in your platoon one hot day in GTMO, summer of 2002. Your wisdom came at an important time in my life. I remember that conversation like it was yesterday. You touched my life, and for that I am grateful. I was struck by your professionalism, obvious pride in your military and civilian careers, and your caring for junior Soldiers. I will always remember you, and mourn your passing.

Jay!
Please know that I think about you along with David every day. So many memories remain and I'm sure you both are enjoying the presence of the Lord. Keep watch over all of us and especially our officers who are here and carry on the work so necessary for our safety. So many new officers have come aboard the dept. and I know you will protect them daily. Big job, but you are in the best place to do this. We miss you and all the folishness that brought joy to our hearts. Until next time,
Ms. Millie E.
