Leave a Reflection

Reflections for Police Officer Clinton Earl Walker

This is a big THANK YOU to everyone that leaves a reflection in memory of Clint. Like you Brian, I look at this site everyday. It helps me to know that all of you miss him, and have not forgotten him. To hear your stories of Clint, and the things that he did, and things that have happened because of Clint, helps me to make it to the next time I read one of your memories. Angela, the angel peaking through the clouds made me break down again, (but I do that alot anyway) it was so awesome. Thanks to everyone, keep the memories coming, the family will see them, I know you all have tons of memories, I would love to hear them all.
I'll always consider you a part of my life, because Clint was a part of yours.
All of you have a special Angel riding with you now, but still be careful, I'm sure that God only allows him to do so much. :o) All of you are in my prayers daily...

Hey Clint
I'm Brian Gentry's Chic. Unfortunately I never got the opportunity to officially meet you, however I feel as though I've known you forever because of all the stories Bri and the other guys have told me. Bri looks at this site all the time, yet can never bring himself to leave a message, so I thought I'd do it for him. Thank you for being such a blessing in his life. You meant more to him then you'll ever know, and he misses you everyday. He has your picture in his room, and the rock from your funeral in his truck, to remind him everyday of how short and precious life is. Hunting season was difficult this year, but he remembered you with a smile on his face every time he road by the spot where you wanted to hang out of the truck and shoot that deer. He always tells me how our relationship reminds him of yours and Amanda's, and I only wish that we are as happy as the two of you were. Please continue to watch over and protect your brothers, for they love you so much, and thank you for blessing my life....Beth

I CAN TELL FROM MANY MILES AWAY THAT FOR AS LONG AS YOU WERE TOGETHER THAT YOUR LOVE GREW MORE DAILY. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

SUGARBEAR,
I HAVE BEEN THINKING ALOT ABOUT THE LAST FEW DAYS. KNOWING IT HAS NOW BEEN A YEAR SINCE YOU WERE KILLED. AS I READ WHAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS WRITTEN TO YOU, ONLY ONE THOUGHT KEEPS COMING TO MY MIND. IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW, I WOULD HAVE JUST KEPT YOU IN BED!!! I WOULDN'T HAVE CARED HOW MUCH TROUBLE YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN IN. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH IT!!! I THINK ABOUT THAT MORNING ALL THE TIME. HOW YOU WERE UP GETTING READY AND TALKING TO ME IN THE BED. I TOLD YOU TO JUST BE CAREFUL AND YOU SAID THAT IT WAS OFFICER SURVIVAL TRAINING AND THAT YOU HAD NEVER DONE IT BEFORE, BUT YOU WOULD TELL ME ABOUT IT WHEN YOU GOT HOME. THEN YOU CAME OVER AND KISSED, HUGGED AND FLIRTED WITH ME IN YOUR PLAYFUL, LOVING WAY. THEN I TOLD YOU THAT I LOVED YOU AND YOU TOLD ME YOU LOVED ME THE MOST AND WOULD TALK TO ME LATER. UNFORTUNATLY!!! LITTLE DID WE KNOW THAT YOU WOULDN'T SURVIVE TO MAKE IT HOME THAT TRAINING DAY!!! SO YOU WERE NOT ABLE TO TELL ME ANYTHING AT ALL INCLUDING WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU. I AM SO GLAD THAT THE LAST THING WE SAID TO EACHOTHER WAS THAT WE LOVED ONE ANOTHER. THAT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!!! I STILL LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH BABY AND MISS YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! I HAVE MADE IT THROUGH THE FIRST YEAR WITHOUT YOU, PLEASE CONTINUE TO GIVE ME YOUR STRENGTH TO MAKE IT THRU THE NEXT YEAR AS YOU HAVE THIS ONE. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.
I LOVE YOU ALWAYS!
LOVE,
YOUR WIFE

Clint,

It is hard to conceive that you have been gone for a year. Your memorial service plays fresh in my mind, and all of the emotion comes flooding back. I grieved that day, not only for you and your family, but because I sat on the outside looking in, having left the PD in November 2003. I sat looking across the aisle, feeling a sense of betrayal, as my fellow comrades in uniform gathered together to honor you. I have since returned to the PD in June of last year, and your presence is still very evident. Conversations of you linger, and stories shared of our time with you make us laugh out loud as we recall your sense of humor and ability to lighten any situation with laughter. I should know... I suffered at the Academy, having to do thousands of push-ups because of you and your sense of humor! All is forgiven. I wouldn't change one moment.

Leaving the PD and loosing one of our family was the beginning of a very trying year for me. Every time the thought crossed my mind that things couldn't possibly get worse, I would think of you and the sacrifice that you have made. Suddenly, my challenges seemed minute in comparison. I could almost hear you whispering to me, that until you take your last breath, there is still time to make a difference. And so I shall.

You know how sometimes there will be a break in the clouds, and a beam of light will emit down to where we are? I always imagined there was an angel hiding behind the cloud, and the beam of light was the radiance coming from his face as he peaked through, watching us. I now know his name. I know that you are watching over us, and I only hope that we continue to give you honor with each life that we touch as Officer. Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Your Friend,

Clint,

What I can about this day? Was there Holt Training? It has been thought about every day for one year. When you got up this day last year you had no idea that it would be your last. How ironic that you worked that call when that man fell from the tower and you said he had a split second to make things right with the Lord and in less than a month you did also. Thanks to Scott you and Amanda made the decision to join Camellia Baptist Church. I don't know what we would have done without Bro. Glenn Brock and the Church family. A week has not gone by without someone talking to me about you and asking about Amanda. By that you know you are not forgotten. I can honestly say I have felt peoples prayers or else I could not have made it. But Clint, you getting killed has brought a new meaning to grief. Mother died, but you got killed-making grieving different and especially the way it happened. I have never prayed so hard as I did with Amanda, Bro. Brock and your mother that day. We held hands and I just knew you were going to make it. You would tell us that you saw the light and Jesus and would you end up being the Prattville Police Dept. Preacher but I was wrong. I guess you and mother are up there saying "God don't put more on you that you can handle-Right"!? Well I just took the same steps I took this time last year at the hospital. Remembering all the people there and how everybody there held hands and prayed and how we had to leave without you and I had to tell Cindy to handle everything. I don't know what we would have done without her. But Clint, today God put an Angel there just for me. Her name was Brenda. She told me that when you pick a Rose from the garden you pick the perfect one...So does God. Strange / How did she know you are buried in The Garden of Roses?! I thank God for her she was there when I needed her. There are Angels here on earth. Well Clint, I need to take a picture of your grave now this is not Good-Bye. With my Love-Your Other Mother:o)

P.S. All of your plants are still alive. I wish you were.

At the beginning of every shift I supervise, myself and the other officers on shift dedicate the day to the memory of a fallen officer.

Today, January 14, 2005 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Police Officer Clinton Earl Walker who died in the line of duty on this date one year ago.

When one law enforcement officer falls, we all stumble for a while, but we will carry on.

Officer Walker's sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Dear Clint,

Tomorrow will be what everyone is referring to as "The 1 year anniversary".I considered Weds. Jan. 12th as the day you surrendered your life here on earth to be with our Heavenly father for it was 1 year that day. I called Amanda Wed. to check on her and she was doing o.k. She had just received a call from Bro. Glenn Brock-and it brightened her day. Clint your Pastor-Bro. Glenn has been such a blessing to our family. I am so sorry we had to meet him when you were in the next room fighting for your life-but boy what a Godly man he is!
He has been a strength to us and has continued to lift us up in prayer.

Robert and I have continued to attend Camellia since the day you were laying in the Church. We walked down the aisle and joined the Church December 26th-The day after Jesus' Birthday. It was real emotional for me because the last time I stood there in that spot was to be beside you. This Sunday Bro. Glenn will Baptize Robert....What a Blessing!

You would have loved Bro. Glenn- He continues to preach wonderful sermons and he helps us through tough weeks.

John wrote a wonderful song in your honor and it is called "For the Hero"
I play it almost daily. It is written, preformed and sung entirely by John. He gave 50 copies to the Prattville Police Dept. soon after your death-so that it might help the other officers to deal with losing you. I can still see Mulligan trying to be strong as you passed by him in your coffin as tears were streaming down his face. All I can say it that it is an awesome song and you would be so proud.

This year Roberts Christmas tree had a different meaning. As you know Robert has a white Christmas tree we put in his bedroom. We decorate it with blue balls and blue lights. This year it was in honor of you. The blue lighted Angel was for you and each blue light was for all of your brothers who have lost their life in the line of duty.

You would be so proud of Amanda- She has made it one year with strength only
coming from God and you. She sits with us in Church and shakes her head when Bro. Glenn says your days on this earth are limited. Little did we know -three days after you and Amanda joined the Church you would be living in heaven.

Well Clint, continue to send down your strength as we start into our 2nd year. They say the 2nd year is always the hardest. We will continue to keep praying for Amanda and keep her busy.

Happy 1 year anniversay in Heaven-Cindy

Please help your family and friends get through the next few days. Nick's anniversary is coming up in 16 days and I know that we will definitely need all the strength that we can get. Our prayers go out to your family. I'm sure that you were there to welcome Nick. You sound like you loved your job as much as Nick did. I just wanted you to know that we are thinking of you today and always. Give Nick a hug for me.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart,

This last couple of days have been a blurr for me, everyone has tried to keep us busy. Dad wanted us to celebrate your birth instead of mourning your death so that's what we tried to do. We all went to the childrens park in Niceville where we had your name added to the memorial. Grandma and Grandpa even walk the mile back into the woods to get to it. It was a beautiful day for the walk along the river. After we finished there, the park ranger came by in the golf cart and pick Grandma and Grandpa up carried them back to the car. Sherrie, Stacey and Dad and I walked back.
We went to the Boat House to eat lunch, you know what I had, I think everyone had seafood except Dad and Stacey. We had a peice of Cheesecake for you.

We also got a balloon and went to the beach and let it go with a message tied to it with a cops ribbon. Dad said that when we let it go it headed for the house, we both laugh cause we thought for sure it would be here when we got home.

Amanda, I know that you are missing Clint as much as I do. Just know that if you every need to talk or a place to stay you know you have one.

Clint, you have another birthday coming up January 14th, your one year in heaven, we will do something special for that also.

We love you and miss you so much. I received this just before Christmas and wanted to share it with you.
Life is not a problem to be solved. It's a mystery to be lived. Suffering is part of the story of everyone's life. When someone dies, we grieve, mourn and shed tears. And yet, when someone dies, nothing has changed...except one thing: That person is no longer outside us. You now live on in our memories, our minds, and in our hearts. Life is precious, but love is priceless. Because...love last forever.

You will always live in my memories, and mind, and heart forever and ever... I love you the most... Happy Birthday from My Heart..

Clint, Happy 27th Birthday To You
Happy Birthday To You, Happy Birthday To You, Happy Birthday Dear Clint, Happy Birthday to You-
And I would love to say -
and many more.....
Clint,
This time last year, when Jerry and I took you and Amanda to Ruby Tuesdays for your 26th Birthday-We gave you your Policeman Plaque with your picture in it. We toasted with our glasses of tea as I told you to always watch your back and we will see you this time next year.
I know when you got killed 15 days later you thought you had no reason to watch your back and you were right!!!!!
Stupid, Negligence, Incompetence we all deal with it everyday, but we know you were not expecting that to happen. Especially the way it did!! Unacceptable
It should not have happened to you!
Our lives are not the same and never will be especially Amanda's. We miss you Clint, and love you very much your other Mother.

P.S.

I have tried to make the family gatherings bigger and better than before to take the pain away, but it does not work. Nothing will. At least we have kept Amanda busy during this time.
