What a terrible tragedy that happened 2 years ago today. My thoughts and pryers are with your family and loved ones on this sad day for them. My thoughts really go out to your children and your new child that came into this world after you were taken from them. Continue being their guardian angel!

I wanted to leave a reflection to let you know that you have not been forgotten on this day and that you are a true hero. Watch over your family as their pain is still there and will be there for years to come and look out for those officers still out on patrol. Your family will tell the child you never met all about you and what a hero you are. I know you are probably with your children and wife everyday watching over them.

If God would allow me one wish right now, it would be one of love. I would trade places with you Roddie. My two children are grown, yours are just beginning to live. I have no sisters to miss me, to give me their love. God's will kept me on earth, and took you from earth. I would trade you places Roddie, so you could be with the ones who love you, and I could talk to my dad. Someone sheds a tear for you daily. I cannot take your place here, but if God would grant me one wish, it would be to trade you places. It would be very worth it, to see the smile, on this one person's face.

Roddie, I met you only twice, and then I knew you were a great man. A Christian man that loved God, family and friends. You made something of yourself, something nobody can take away from you. You are loved dearly by your family, especially one sister I have had the pleasure of getting to know very well. Roddie, you are thought of 24/7 by your sister, and she respected you very much. You were there for her, I heard many stories about you and her, I just wish I could have gotten to know you. My brother, your brother-in-law thought highly of you also. Roddie, you will never be forgotten, and you will always be loved. I cannot take your place, but I will keep watch over your sister, Kim for you. I can never take your place in her life, but I will be there if she ever needs a friend. Kim means a lot to me, and it's the least I can do for you. I will meet you in Paradise my friend, where we will be brothers in Christ. Alan

Roddie,
I often think about you. Another Christmas came and went without you here. You were and always will be so loved by some many people. You have touched so many peoples lives. I smile when I think of you. You were such a beautiful person. Now you are with God and he has work for you to do. I know you are watching over all of us. I would do anything to hug you one more time. I'll see you again on fine day!!!! My heart breaks for you. Love you forever.....
Your loving sister,
Mishe

Merry Christmas little brother. I just want you to know that I miss you terribly. This year has been so lonely without you. I don't laugh as often as I use to and I cry too much. I wish you could open just one more gift and watch your kids open theirs. Your picture is kissed everyday and a tear is shed in your memory. To hug you once more would be the ultimate gift. As I celebrate Jesus' birth I think of how lucky you are to be at his side and know one day I will join you. I love you Roddie. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
God bless you.

This is a poem that my 16 year old daughter, Crissy Morris wrote in honor of sergeant Rodney L. Davis.

" Hero 212 "

A young boy with big dreams
Of being like superman
When anyone was in trouble
He would always lend a helping hand
He used to say I'm going to be
A hero someday
The biggest and bravest cop
That's who I'll be
As he got older
He had some kids and a beautiful wife
Doing what he loved
He had the perfect life
One tragic night
He took his very last call
He did just what he said
He's our hero in heaven
Proudly wearing badge 212
He still stands tall
He use to say I'm going to be
A hero someday
You just watch and see...............

I drove by the cemetary today. Since I didn't know where you were, I sat in the car at the entrance and talked to you there. It's been over a year now and my heart is still broken. I think of you everyday, you and Dad and Jacquie. I know you are all together and that gives me some peace. I know you are all watching over us. I miss your sense of humor, gentleness, kindness, stubborness and love for your family. I love you dearly and pray that when my time comes, we will be reunited....and all this pain will go away.

Rodney,
It has been quite a few years since we've lost touch with one another. Strangely enough, the morning after your death, my father called me and informed me of the news. I thought, "You've got to be mistaken. They must have been talking about a different Rodney. Not the Rodney I grew up with." Well as we all know I was wrong. It's been a little over a year now and I often think of what has come to pass, and all the great memories I have of our friendship. We all miss you Rodney. Your family has been and will remain in my prayers, as well as you. See you down the road my friend.

I held a candle at your grave...
I felt so proud that you were so brave.

Words of your life were spoken...
My heart will always be broken.

As the tears rolled down my face...
I prayed to God that he saved you a place.

I dream of all the times we laughed and cried...
Most of all the day you died.

August 26th was your end of walk...
I still remember the words of our last talk.

Day by day we make it through...
But life's just not the same without you.
Your laugh, hugs, honesty, and smile...
I thank God we had you for awhile.

Rest-in- peace my brother...
Once again we will hug each other.



it's been a year since that night...

Kim, your oldest sister

Hey Cuz! Oh how I miss you dearly!! Nobody ever calls me "Co-Co" anymore and even though it sometimes irritated me when you called me that...I wish so badly that I could hear it one more time. It has been one year and it still does not seem like a reality that you are truly gone. I sometimes forget and think that you are just a phone call away. Your name and number is still in my cell phone. I believe that the week that Clarence, me, and the kids came to visit you the week before your death was a blessing from God!! I was so thankful to have spent that time with you and to be able to hang out like old times. I was very sad when you moved back to VA, but we made great memories while you were living in IL. I drive by your old two story house and remember all of our laughs together. You were the most lovable, caring, and unselfish man I have known. I recently saw little Roddy and he is a spittin image of you. I'm so glad that you are in a better place and I know for a fact that you are having a blast up there just as you did while you were here. Make sure you save me a place so that we can continue what we didn't finish here on earth.

TO MY LITTLE BROTHER, I USE TO TELL YOU THAT NO MATTER HOW BIG YOU WERE YOU WOULD ALWAYS BE MY LITTLE BROTHER. A YEAR AGO TODAY WAS YOUR FUNERAL SERVICE AND IT WAS AMAZING! SO MANY PEOPLE! I ONLY HOPE THAT YOU COULD HAVE SEEN IT FROM ABOVE. KIM AND THE BOYS ARE DOING WELL. BABY RODDY IS CRAWLING NOW AND HE LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU. I'M SURE YOU WATCH OVER ALL OF US. SOME DAYS IT FEELS LIKE WE JUST LOST YOU AND OTHER DAYS IT IS EASIER, BUT NO MATTER HOW LONG IT IS I WILL ALWAYS HAVE A VOID IN MY HEART. I WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD OF YOU. YOU BETTER BE WAITING FOR ME WHEN IT IS MY TIME IF NOT I WILL FIND YOU!!! ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO HIS WONDERFUL CO-WORKER AT GREEN SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND HIS CARING FRIENDS. RODDIE WAS THE MOST LOVING PERSON I EVER KNEW AND I'M SO PROUD TO BE HIS SISTER. REST IN PEACE LITTLE BROTHER. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!!! THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS, I MISS THEM SO MUCH. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR SMILE AND YOUR VOICE.
LOVE,
MISHE

To the family of Sergeant Davis my thoughts are with you as you go into this next week. I know that it will be hard, I'm already dreading mine. I will be praying for you and thinking about you.
Sergeant Davis thank you for your sacrifice, your family will miss you everyday, but we will never forget.

Nuggett,

Oh, where to begin?? I will never forget all the times we had!!! I could always count on a good laugh whenever we were together. You were one crazy dude, to say the least!!! My birthday will always carry new meaning, Aug. 26, the day we lost you. Your spirit still lives strong in your family and in all of the lives that you touched.

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the
affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure
the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in
others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a
garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has
breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success." -Emerson

We choose to serve, for there are worse fates than death.

Thanks Rodney, Mark

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.

...Gone, but never Forgotten....

Rodney, I along with many other people think of you on a daily basis. Things just are not the same without you here. I would have to say the funniest memory I have of you is trying to teach you how to do the electric slide!!! BOY did you keep us laughing! Never did I see you without a smile on your face. I knew you for only a year and what an impression you made on myself and friends. You are missed & I will never forget you.

Rodney the time will pass on and you our friend will stay right with us... reguardles how many years to come.
Some people pass you within a day and you never look back... but when a fellow officer passes on we look up and to you each day!

Just know we in Greene think of you with the Davis stickers on the vehicles in the Greene County Sheriff's Dept. and passing by the Office... we have you in our hearts at all times, you are sadly missed as much now as when the hard news came to us... Watch over us from your place now!

Roddy, I thank you for all the hugs, humor, and enlightment that you have given to me and my family. I'll never forget our "tattoo" b-day party when you got that awful one. I cherish all the times you and your family came to visit us in Illinois. We always looked forward to seeing and spending time with you and your family. You're boys will grow up and carry on with your open arms and a smile that was always going. I love you. You were like a "big" brother. Watch over all of us and keep us from harm. I love you.
