Thomas and I went to Pearl Street AME Church together as kids, back in the day. I grew up very fond of him and still felt the same way when I saw him sitting in his same seat, in the back of the church, behind my mom (Albenia Turner), last year in April 2004. I will always remember us in the Angels choir, the Young Adult choir and the YPD group. He was a wonderful friend and I know he became a wondeful husband, father and police officer for Jackson, MS. He is ALREADY missed! Keep the faith everyone!

Once again a coward has taken the life of another brother officer from the thin blue line. May God bless the Catchings Family and the officers and staff of the Jackson Police Department during this very sad time. May our brother Thomas rest in peace. Thomas will now patrol the streets of Heaven with St. Michael and his angels. Never forget the fallen hero!
