Bill,
You first knew me as that kid that hanged out with Jim at Tech in the late 1970's. When I met you, I realized that JIm had not been exaggerating about you when he described you as a "big man", and it was through people like you and him that I learned what a "big man" was all about.
You became a big brother to me, and as an "only child" that meant a lot, probably more than I ever told you. I enjoyed the time we "hung out" together, because you always had a way of including me in whatever you were doing and always made me feel special.
Thank you for being my friend and brother, but most of all, my hero. For the past,you were there for me in ways I never told you about. For the present and future, you are, and always will, be with me. I'll see you again someday, Brother.

Bill,
Just sitting here reading your reflections. You come to mind a lot and when I start thinking about all you did and the services you performed in the line of duty and in just being you, I miss you! I am so glad Trevor is following in your steps. He had a wonderful HERO to follow. Wouldn't it be fantastic if all young men had the same type of role model. Well, Sunday is my big 60 birthday and I remember when we camped next to each other at Caney Creek, we always saved you dinner or leftovers as you called them, but especially dessert. I will miss that big BEAR HUG and your great smile. Dog will still lay down for a "belly rub" but is still selective who. Rest in Peace you earned it. There are lots of people here who love and respect you
and even in death that does not change. Your spirit lives on. What a wonderful world this would be if we had more
"Bill Jones" in it.

bill...you was the first officer to tell me i should think about dispatching back in the late 80's. things finally worked out to where i did in 1994. you always had a smile and a touch of cockiness that lightened up everyone's conversations. i loved your humor, but i also loved the way you handled yourself on the job...yes, i became one of the dispatchers who had the priviledge of telling you where to go. you once told me how much it meant that i looked out for your guys. we were all family. i no longer work there,but just to let you know sir bill...i am still dispatching and still love it. thank you for all of your helpful advice and your professionalism, and above all else...your humor. you are missed.

billy, your life has been a complete circle. Remember that even in death, your family loves you for the wonderful person you were and a loving son. Their love is not for any gain to profit by your demise. Theirs is genuine as any gemstone. Your soul is at peace with the Almighty and not in a cemetery plot. If you could see and hear all that has happened since you left us you would have laughed till your sides ache. The "cowards" are still being cowards but justice wil prevail, only the heroes will see the face of God.

Hey Sarg. Wanted to let you know me and tiny spent most of the shift the other night up at your grave. Your Tombstone looks great. I like the little statue of the Police Officer, we have one just like it out in front of the house. Me and tiny sat there all night telling old stories about you. And as always at the end of each story we were laughing about the things you did. Im sure you know....farva done it...hahaha. I know he would have loved it for you to be by his side, all though your face would have been blood red. Tammy and Trevor were there also. We all got together after the wedding and I must say, I was glad to see that Tammy and Trevor was there. Tammy seemed like she was having a good time. Jenn said she was glad to see her and hopes that we get to see them more. Me and jenn talk about you all the time. There isnt a day that goes by that your name isnt mentioned and there never will be. We will always sit back and tell people about the wonderful Billy "Bam Bam" Jones and about how it was an honor to work with you, have you as a freind, and our leader.......Miss ya Sarg!

Not a day goes by I don't think you, I try to take comfort knowing your okay, and I'll see you again someday...always on my mind, forever in my heart.
September 8, 2006
the one thing that comes to mind the most is a a Verse that describes you to a T. Me and tubby swore in on the same day and you thought hell had froxen over but we soon learned that you would never leave our side and always take care of us. It was obvious in the great chase we were all in so i leave this to all to read and eceryone that knows you will agree

Deputy Jones,
Thank you for your service. I will pray for your family and friends. You leave a very honorable legacy for them to be proud of. I wish Trevor the best as he pursues a career in law enforcement. My father was a Mississippi State Trooper killed in the line of duty in 1987. I was proud of him, and I chose to follow his footsteps in law enforcement. His legacy gave me guidance, as I know yours will for Trevor. I salute you. God bless you brother.

Bill,
I was coming home from the lake sunday, and you were on my mind, so i went to your grave site for the first time since the funeral. I had the dogs with me, as usual, and when i parked the truck and was getting out....Rex jumped out of the back of the truck and went right over to your head stone and sniffed it..... how did he know which one was yours???? I can hear you now...."i hate dogs, women and children".....yeah right! I just want you to know there's not a day that goes by that i don't miss you or think about you and want you to know i love ya!!!!!

No one who never knew you will ever know what a fine person they missed. I am so sorry your little girl, Melody, will not have the enjoyment of growing up with her Daddy who I know loved her very much. I could see the love in your eyes as you spoke of her. I know she was very special in your heart and I pray that she will never forget that. It is so sad that you got to spend so little time with her while you were here on this earth. Your time will be eternal when she meets you in Heaven. Rest in peace my friend.
Sincerely,

To the family , Friends , and co-workers of D.S. Jones :
I want to take this time to say that I am so very sorry for your loss and to let you know that you are all still very much in my prayers . While I never got the chance to know Bill ( BAM BAM ) personally I can see from all the reflections he was very much a loving caring man . Words can not express how it felt to learn that his life was taken so soon . You will be in my prayers always . Rest in peace now my dear BAM BAM . We know that you are up there in heaven watching over us as a special angel would be and we know that we will see you again someday .
To the family of Mike Brown :
I am so sorry for your loss and wish that I could help make things better for you but I know that I can only offer words and I want you to know that you are in my prayers every day and will continue to be . While I never knew him in person I did get the chance to chat with him a few times online . Everytime something was going wrong I could always chat with him about it online and he would help me to see that it really was not that bad at all . I had only known you a few months but the words you spoke to me and the love and understanding you gave at the time I needed it the most will stay with me forever . I am going to miss you Mike but I know that you are right there in heaven watching over me and helping me to stay on the right path and waiting on me to walk through those gates to heaven .

You are not forgotten, dear friend. We miss you terribly and still grieve. In my mind, I go back to conversations we had, advice you had given and guidance you willingly gave to me and my family. Those that did not know you will never know what they missed.
In our hearts, you were and always will be the best!
It's always been that way, and always will be. God love you, Bill Jones and may he always be with your loved ones whose grief must be terribly deep and ongoing.
With much love.

Ok,enough I have wanted to tell you for so long that you were my hero. I wish that I could have made a point of telling you.We had some trouble before in Feb.Then you had so much going on and then you left us. Why I want to know but I guess we will never know.I have my thoughts to keep me going as to why and how and who,but as before they are just my thoughts. You were my true brother in blood and in life no one can take that away from me. I want to hurt them so bad for diong this to you and Mike. The Lord will take care of ALL of them. We miss you so much. Mom is hurting more each day and what do we do? You ment the whole world to her,you were her oldest boy. Not every one can understand what she is going through. To lose a child before yourself.I know that you were loved but you were loved more by your family here than you can ever see but you knew that. YOU ARE MY HERO AND WILL ALWAYS BE.
Your loving little sister Lynn
