Reflections for Sergeant Jeremy Paul Newchurch

I had the honor and the pleasure of serving with Jeremy as a volunteer firefighter, before he began his career in law enforcement. What I remember most about him was how much fun he was to have around...he was a funny guy. Jeremy was well known and well liked in the community, and was an avid softball player who coached kids at the local ballpark every summer.

Although Jeremy was no longer active with the fire department, our paths crossed often, on accident scenes or at the ballpark where my kids play. He was an easygoing person, but was all business when he was doing his job. Our community has lost a dedicated law enforcement officer and a good friend, and we will miss him dearly....God bless you, Jeremy......

In Valor there is Hope. Rest in Peace Brother.

Policeman's 23rd Psalm

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want,
His comforting hand reduces fear to naught;
He makes me walk through streets of crime,
But He gives me courage and peace of mind.

He leads me by still waters in the path I trod,
And He says in Romans I'm a "minister of God,"
He leads me in righteousness as He restores my soul,
For His name's sake He keeps me whole.

When I walk through death's valley, right up to the door,
I will fear no evil, for He comforts me more;
For Thou art with me every step of the way,
As thy rod and thy staff protect me each day.

He prepares a table, especially for me,
As I work daily among life's enemies;
He gives me authority to uphold the law,
And He anoints my position in the midst of it all.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me,
Each day of my life through eternity;
As I long to hear Him say, "Well done...,"
When I lay down my life, my badge, and my gun.
