Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

The Brightness of his Spirit:


Anyone who knew him
felt the brightness of his spirit.
No life his hand reached out to
stayed the same.

The world once touched
by his unselfish kindness
still echoes with the honor
of his name.

The footprints that he left
were firm of purpose.
The path he walked
a wise and hopeful one.

And written on the pages of forever
in praise of him
will be these words ...
Well Done.

Love you son,
Love you Jared,

Dad

Jared,
I was thinking alot about you today... I do every day, but today in particular you have been in my thoughts. Your birthday is almost here as it has almost been a year since you were taken from us. My thoughts and prayers are with all of your family especially around this time. We miss you and know that you and Ken are looking down, protecting us, our guardian angels.

Jared,

We're already almost to the end of January....less than 2 weeks from your birthday and less than a month from the first anniversary. It still doesn't seem real to me, I'm not sure if it ever will. Your niece Faith will also be turning one in less than a month....it's so hard knowing you won't be here to share in that celebration, but I have to believe your still with us in spirit. Somedays I just don't know how to keep going and then I just get a feeling that your with me....telling me your okay, your safe now. I hope you are.

Yours and Ken's memories will live on forever. You'd be so proud of Erin and Lt. Arms and all the volunteers that are working so hard at raising money for the Peace Officer Memorial Fund.....you and Ken and all the fallen Peace officers here will be honored for the service they did and died doing. You are my HERO.

P.S. Aaron is into Nascar now (loves cars) and we've got him cheering on Kevin Harvick in honor of you.

I love you Jared and Miss you so much.

Lots of Love,
Jonika

'DA BEARS!!!!
It's so hard to believe that you won't be here to watch it with us. (Although, I know you'll be watching!) What a great day it was last year, celebrating your birthday on Superbowl Sunday with everyone at our house(even though the Bears weren't playing!) I will never forget your smiles that day, and all the laughter!!! You'd be so proud of Courtney and Kyle---true Bear fans to the core!!! Your jerseys are worn so proudly, and I'm sure they brought a little extra luck this season! We miss you!
Thinking of you,

Jared's birthday is nearing as well as that fateful day he died as a hero. I think of Jared often as his birthday is almost the same as my husbands. It is apparent that he was a great man and officer.

To his wife, father, mother, family, and friends...I will keep you in my prayers always.

I want to thank all of you for your love, support and prayers. I can't begin to imagine what we do without them.

It is so comforting to come to this website and see that Jared is still with all of you and you with him.

Thank you all so very much,

J-rod, so many things have happened since you left, who would know where to start? Thanks for being you. We'll keep locking up bad guys, and you keep whatching our backs, cool! You were born into an incredible family, one that I cherish! GODSPEED my friend.

My thoughts are with all of your loved ones as the first anniversary of your end of watch arrives soon. I know that it has been a long and rough road so far and I can't say that things get any better, but I want your loved ones to know that they are not alone out here. Continue to keep watch over them, wrap your wings around them and help them with their grief. You are a true hero and heroes never die. You will never be forgotten.

My Dear Jared,

What a blessing you are to so many. Your legacy of passion, love, compassion, courage, honesty and committment continues to encourage thousands. It always will. Your life on earth, the traits you exhibited and the very high personal standards that you set and then exceded, challenges us to strive to live that type of exemplary life.

When you were 5 years old, you started to wear a red knit hat that I had received as part of a sales promotion. For some reason, you just started to wear it and it became yours. Although the logo/name on the hat was the title of the sales promotion at my office, it CLEARLY defines the way in which you led your earthly life. It read: REACH FOR EXCELLENCE. That is exactly what you did in all of your endeavors, you continually reached for excellence. Those who knew you and who read this message KNOW that I write the truth.

So my dear Jared, my dear son ... in this new year, I recommit to you, the vow, the promise I made to you after that horrible, horrible day last February.

God blessed me beyond measure when he allowed me to be your Dad. I am so VERY, VERY proud of you. Always have been, always will.

Love you Jared,
Love you son,

Dad

J-Rod...
As we begin 2007 we search for renewed hope...we look forward to what is ahead for us, and yet we continue to look back as well, to all of our cherished memories of you. Though we all miss you so very much, this year has taught us to be thankful for the blessings in our lives...everyday. Thank you for being with each of us as we struggled through the last year, watching and protecting us, and even continuing to make us laugh when we needed it most. I hope that 2007 will bring us all closer to a place of peace, comfort, and joy---through all of those wonderful memories...
Thinking of you,

Happy New Year Jared. It's not the same here without you.

I received this poem by email today, in reference to my aunt we lost in October after a 4 year battle with breast cancer. After reading it, I immediately thought of Jared and Ken, and thought I would share it with you today. Natalie, I thought saw you out running this morning on my way out. Please know that each time I see you, you are an inspiration to myself and every other CSPD wife I know. Keep strong girl, our hearts are always with you.


My First Christmas in Heaven (author unknown)

I see the countless Christmas tress around the world below
With tiny lights, like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.


I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
But the sound of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.

I have not words to tell you the joy their voices bring
For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.


I know how much you miss me: I see the pain inside your heart,
But I'm not so far away; we really aren't apart.

So be happy for me, loved ones, you know I hold you dear;
And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.


I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above.
I send you each a memory of my undying love.

After all "Love" is the gift more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.


Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,
For I can't count the blessing or the love He has for each of you.

So, have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

My Precious, precious son,

It is 1:00 AM on the first Christmas day in 31 years where I have not been with you or at least been able to speak with you on the phone. Because of your faith in God and mine as well ... I speak to your spirit and I know you hear and listen. I miss you Jared, I miss you so much. This pain never goes away.

Please give Jonika Lynn, Jon-Anna Marie and Joshua Adam a hug for me and tell them that their Dad loves them. As I often tell you: someday, in God's timing, I will be with all of you and then it will be forever. Then I will know peace.

I Love you Jared,

Dad

Although we never met, your death really touched my life. It made me appreciate all the police officers that place their lives on the line everyday for us! I went to the memorial site at the bus stop. I saw a female police officer there and I thanked her and hugged her. I'm truly sad for the loss of you and Officer Ken Jordan. God bless your wife and family this Christmas as it will be very sad and hard without you.
