19 years have past and alot has changed in the world of law enforcement. One thing that has not changed is the respect that I have for your dedication to the state of SC and the sacrifice you made. Continue to watch over the ones holding the line and standing the wall. R.I.P. Trooper Parker. As always I'm sorry I couldn't beat the flames.....

My darling son-in-law, on this day nineteen years ago none of us knew what horror we would have to face on the morrow. Your death has forever altered the lives of so many people. Your absence has left a void here on earth, but I am thankful to be able to know without the shadow of a doubt that you have been in Heaven but a moment even though nineteen earthly years have passed. You will never be forgotten as long as I have breath. We love you, Jon.

I have known John since the 9th grade. I considered him a very close friend. I cannot believe that God took him away so early from his family and friends. May they find solace that his soul is in heaven. He always believed in helping others no matter what. We all miss you brother.

Jonathan, another year has passed. You would hate how some people disrespect the job that we chose to do. Politicians feed on and drive the hatred towards our profession, but there is still a job to do. I will never forget that dreadful day, and the sights, sounds and feelings that were before us. Thank you sir for your ultimate sacrifice. Rest easy brother. Wish I could have done more.

Trooper, it’s 16 years now since you gave your all doing what only a few have the courage to do now. I’m at Skinner Rd and 527 now reflecting on 5/16/2005 as I have done for 15 years and will continue to do out of respect for you. You will not be forgotten by myself or my family. RIP bubba and watch over the ones of us still holding the walls and patrolling the streets. As always I’m sorry I could not beat the dragon.

Trooper, it’s been 15 years now since you gave your all for the state of South Carolina. A lot has changed in this world but a lot has stayed the same. I’m at Skinner Rd and 527 as I have been for 14 years as a token of respect to you. I know you’ve been watching over the ones of us still on the line and holding the walls. For that I thank you. You sir will not be forgotten by me or my family. As I’ve said before, I’m sorry I couldn’t beat the dragon. RIP Trooper.........and thank you Mrs. Brewer I know God is in control and over the years he has assembled only the best to patrol heavens streets of gold.

Thank you, Rudy and Lin, for not forgetting our precious Jon. I am confident that he is with the Lord and that we will see him again one day.
Y’all rest easy. You did all you could do for Jon but God had another plan. We don’t understand it, but faith trumps fear! God’s Grace is sufficient.

It's been 13 years today brother. You have definitely not been forgotten and we miss you all of the time. I see Susan and she tells me that she found your green hunting light that I talk about you wearing coming out of the swamp. Keep patrolling those streets of gold and we will see you again one day.
