Typing through tears today. Maybe it’s because I’m getting older. The night you left still hurts so much. 19 years. You would be 57 today and you would still be making me laugh in our old age. Just wanted you to know I won’t forget. You are with me everyday. Love you JDub.

Hello again cousin. Another Christmas season approaching, another year almost gone. It seems like each year is flying by now. Almost 19 years since you left that night. Who would believe that? Not me. I cried today thinking about you. I don’t always cry but today I did. I always wonder what might have been if you , Rogee, and me were still together. I shouldn’t but I do. I needed to talk to you both today so that’s why I’m writing. I miss you every day…Rogee too. Boy, will we have much to talk about when we are together again. Wait for me. I’ll be there in a blink. Love you J-Dub.

Thinking of you today and remembering that amazing smile. This world was better with you in it. Can’t wait to see you again and hear you laugh. Your memory never fades in my mind. The pain of losing you has left a whole in my heart that will never be filled. You were one of a kind and anyone that had the pleasure of knowing you was blessed. Love you…..Chris

No special reason for this today. I just wanted you to know I think about you everyday. I still dream we are in uniform working together sometimes. I haven’t forgotten and won’t forget cousin; no matter how many years pass. That’s all. I guess I just wanted you to know you are not forgotten. Love you. See you soon.

We had a little get together for you today. Nothing big, just some guys who loved you and who won’t forget who you were as a man, a friend, and an officer. We laughed telling stories about you and we cried recalling the night you left us. Still miss you so much but I know you and Rog will be waiting for me when I am called home. Keep the campfire going cousin. I will be there in a blink.

John
I echo comments by Dan Brown and others. I had just arrived at the hospital and saw you as you passed away--the same time your wife and children got there. It was one of the most difficult nights of my life but your family has done well and you would be proud of your daughters. Your service to your community and our agency will never be forgotten.

It was 12 years ago today and I too miss you Jon. There were so many people there that night trying everything they could to help. Tyler’s attempts to bring you back to us are so vivid.
William Wordsworth once said “The best portion of a good man’s life: his little, nameless unremembered acts of kindness and love.” This is you Jon.

I haven't written to you in awhile John-John (although I talk to you and Rogee everyday). I'm sure you already know my ride is over. Bittersweet but welcome. Our profession is under attack like never before. We could use men like you and Rogee to represent us in this terrible time. I miss both of you as much as I ever did. Times were the best when we all three wore the uniform together despite how brief. You would have been 50 last month with Rogee approaching 45. You two are 38 and 23 forever, though. I miss you J-Dub. Just wanted you to know I love you. I'll see you and Rogee by the campfire someday.

Today I found the post you and Roger set on the property to mark where your first fence should start. I can still see the two of you throwing handfuls of dirt and laughing at each other. The post is still there and so are the memories. Miss you both.

I attended a funeral today for a NV officer. It was like it was you and Roger all over again. It makes me feel better that the two of you have each other know that you are missed and thought about often. I cant go into a tack store without a quite laugh remembering the way the two of you would chase each other around with your pretend ropes. Keep a close eye and protect the last of the three amigos.
