Reflections for Police Officer Clinton Earl Walker
Brother Clint, Our paths crossed a few times on the road or at the S.O. I knew you to be a good officer and good for the community. You are missed and will always be remembered. May you rest in peace.

We are among the people that Amanda says who prays for her while she does not know it. I think of you often Amanda, and I pray for you every time I do. We did not have the priveledge of personally knowing Clint but according to EVERYTHING we have read and heard you certianly were married to your angel. Wonderful men are so difficult to find and I know we consider ourselves very lucky to have such wonderful men in our lives. I pray for peace, understanding, and comfort for you. I pray for God to wrap his big wonderful arms around you and to hold you close. We will continue praying for you.
In His Love,
Josh and Stephanie

Sugar bear,
I have not been able to write you anything, because I did not know how I could ever be able to put into words the love I have for you and the loss I feel without you here with me. I don't think there really are words that could ever describe the way I feel, but I got something in the mail the other day and when I read it all I could think is how perfectly it described the way I feel about us.
It said:
A love created by God,
Out of the depths of our souls,
Out of the desires of our hearts, and
Out of the purity of our tears,
Truly believing that,
Even before we breathed our first breaths of life,
God planned for us to share our lives,
Forevermore,
Two bodies of angels, sharing one soul,
A match made in Heaven.
And that is what we were! You were my soul mate. The one man that God made just for me. You were not just my husband, you were my best friend, lover and life. You were my whole world, my one and only. You made my life wonderful everyday. You were the most caring, loving, most affectionate man I had ever met, and I was the lucky one that found you out of all the men in this world. I feel so lucky to have had the love we had for the time I had it. I just wish it could have been longer. I now understand the saying "It's better to have loved and lost, than to have never had loved at all" but that just doesn't make this any easier. I could have lived a lifetime without having to understand what that meant.
I just want you to know how wonderful everyone has been to me. I am so grateful for all of your friends that are taking time out of their daily lives to check on me, and keep me company when I am home alone. I love all the stories they are telling me about you, and don't worry, they are all good. I am yet to here anything bad, not that I ever will. Everyone knows, as I did, what a wonderful person you were, and what a big heart you had. On top of all that, I am also lucky to have your family who still have their hearts and arms open to me. As for my family and friends, who loved you as one of their own, I don't know what I would do without them. There are people praying for me that I don't even know, and some how I feel like without that I may not be doing as well as I am doing now. If someone had told me this was going to happen, as you know, I would have told them that I would just rather die than be here without you. But now I feel more like I am living for you and anticipating being with you again in Heaven.
Until then baby I will be waiting.
With all my love always,
Your Wife

Clint,
Once again I've heard the words mother always told me, "Linda, God doesn't put more on you than you can handle." And once again I have been tested. I told everyone at the hospital that I did not have the strength to handle Amanda if something happened to you. And today Amanda and me heard just how strong you were. Thank you Clint for hanging on for us as long as you did. You are a big strong man and I know you heard us. Thank you for that. But, I guess you know by now that you are not the only strong one. When you left us, you must have given your strength to Amanda. Please continue to watch over us. I know ANGELS do that. Jerry wasn't even able to hunt well, and Nina said she was so glad we worked the holidays around schedule. We miss you so much, but you are in a better place and we all know that. It is still hard! Jerry says, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." I am waiting for that strength.
We miss you Clint!
Love Always, Your other mother.

We extend our condolences from the Renton Police Dept., Firearms Training Committee, to the family and friends of Officer Walker. I personally pray for the family and his fellow officers in their time of grief and efforts to understand this tragedy. I pledge to keep his sacrafice from being in vain and use this incident as a positive training tool in our current firearms course. Training is the key to our survival, accidents can happen and we must learn from them. A fine officer has fallen in the line of duty, others must continue in his place but cannot replace him. His memorial will be posted at our next shoot so others will know of his sacrafice and strive to better themselves for it. May God protect and watch over those who remain behind ...

If you knew Clint and Amanda you know how special and unique their relationship was. That is because both are very special and unique individuals. I have never met another couple with so much love for each other, their families, and friends. I feel privileged to have witnessed and shared in that love. There was never a dull moment with them. My husband and I had the opportunity to spend time with them, and we had a lot of fun and laughs. Now we have those wonderful memories to cherish always! What I remember most about Clint was that he always had a BIG smile on his face (except when Alabama lost) and he never did anything with only half his heart. He got excited about everything he did (football, hunting, golfing, work) and his excitement was often contagious. There are no words that could ever come close to expressing how much he will be missed or how much he was loved by all. Clint, I know you will be watching over Amanda and I want you to know that we will do everything we can to help her through this. No one will ever replace you, and it is going to take all of her family and friends to fill the void that has been left. Clint and Amanda WE LOVE YOU! Tim and Vanessa

I remember when Clint walked into the Squad room to report for second shift. I knew you where going to be good for the Department and the community. The few times we rode together we would always give each other grief about our respective branches of the military, and I learned some things from you. The last time we talked you asked me to come help you with a Log Truck, but I just couldnt get there due to being up on Lake Martin and the fact that I wouldnt be of much help to you since I wasnt DOT certified. I remember telling you to give me a couple of months, I would have my certification and I would help you as much as I can. Clint the "family" will keep your family safe for you. Rest in peace brother, you have served your time in hell.
To the Prattville PD and espeacially the officer involved, you are in our prays.

Clint,
I have heard you say it so many times. But on the day of the accident, you just weren't able. I never expected it to be so final, but i feel that it has to be said in your honor.

As a surviving fiancee of Police Officer Daniel Starks (E/O/W 10.25.03) My heart going out to this officers wife, family, friends, and fellow department members. No one quite knows what to say, but all I can say is may God grant you the strength to endure life without this officer. He sacrificed everything, but in the end has gained a place in Heaven. I hope he has met my Daniel and is happy. May you rest knowing that many are praying and thinking of you. Good luck in the days ahead.

I am so sorry for your loss. My brother Sergeant investigator Rodney Davis, Jr. Was shot and killed on August 26th 2003. Though it has been five months since his death it does take time and a river of tears to come to terms with such a tragic loss. May God bless you all.

I will never accept or understand why Clinton was taken from this earth and from you in this way. You will never be the same and I mourn for you. I can only hope that your pain does not consume you and that there are people taking care of you. Your friend if you ever need one,
