Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Jordan,
I thought of you today while reading the local online newspaper. As your community waits for justice to be served, your legacy of honor, bravery and committment will live on FOREVER. You shall never be forgotten.

Hey Ken-I'm sorry I haven't written for a long while. This is difficult for me but it makes me feel better. We went to Pensacola a while back and you would have loved it. The weather was hot and humid and Jen's parents were great. I'm itching for another Vegas trip but I know it will never be as great as they were when you were there. I miss the piggy back rides down the strip. Some days are busy for me and others I struggle through. I have had many times where I have longed to call you on my cell and talk my problems out; you were always open to that. We're all planning our trips for next year and we're definitely diving somewhere. I feel you're with us always and you know I talk to you all of the time. I often see guys that look a lot like you and for a split second I think it's really you. It's a rush of happiness and then a rush of sadness when I see his face. I miss you buddy.

Jordan,
Look out for Ted for all of us ok? He's going to need your friendship. I still think about you everyday, and still miss you just as much. However, I now thing of the sarcasm that was our frienship instead of the sadness.

Missing you "KIDDO" !!!!!!!! Hunter "THAT SD" died.

When the kids visited a few weeks ago they got to meet him. "K" fell in love with him. Of course he followed her everywhere she went. "Here Hunter come here boy". I took some of the cutest pic of her with him. She wanted to take him home with her. Yep if she could have hid him in her "backpack" she would have. The kids are such comfort to have around.

I got to see your name sake today. Jordan, she's a beauty. G and S couldn't have picked a better name for her. She has the most awesome complexion and the silkiest black hair. Watch over her and keep her safe!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give bubba a big hug and kiss for me. I miss you both!

All my love,
Nadine

So last weekend I went out to the Buena Vista/Salida area. Haven't been out there since last summer. This time was different though. Went down to the river and watched the kayaks coming down the river and thought about you of course. I felt some sadness...but it went away knowing that you're still kayaking for sure. Went to the ATV spots, I plan on taking Matt up there. The last time I went with you was definitely the most memorable! I think I'm the only one who didn't wreck. :) Also went to K's and had some ice cream. Oh, and I drove by the gas station where I stopped to almost put diesel in your car. Huh, I don't think I ever told you that little secret. Anyhow, I thank Sue so much for giving me the little mementos back. Means a lot to me. One more thing, I was reading one of the messages below and I started to think about how many of us were so lucky to love you and to be loved by you. You also helped to shape who I am today and I think that's because your feet were always planted so firmly on the ground, it just rubbed off on me. You showed me what a real man is. Thank you for that. Say hi to my mom for me and give each other hugs!!! :)

Finally got to meet your sis...what a treat!

You are beloved and missed; I'm guessing you know that. Your patrol post may have changed, but please keep looking out for those here that are trying to carry on....

Peace, love, and rest to you.

So Jordan, you have been in my dreams lately....and my thoughts often. I read your reflections and am so happy that you had Heidi and Tori out there in the Springs with you. I always hoped you had found happiness as I had. I met someone from there yesterday and it brought back memories of when we went to all the "sites"...I found pics from your Academy graduation and realized that is one of the last times I saw you. I have so many awesome memories of our time together--it was definetly 4 years that helped shaped me into the person I am today. Every so often I am overcome with a sadness that I know is because you were taken from your friends and family so early in life. I think of your mom and dad often---remember when your dad saved me from the high waters on the Vermillion? Thank you for sharing your life with me! I have to ask...whatever happened to "BUD L Jordan"? What a handsome frog he was......In memory. Me

You appear in my dreams, hiding behind doors or appearing from nowhere. You start to speak but I wake up too soon to hear what you're going to say. What are you trying to tell me?

I pray the message you are trying to convey is at least reaching your family.

Hey Ken,
It's been just over 7 months and I still remember waking up that morning--the scroll across the bottom of the tv screen that we lost another officer, no name. I called Memo to see who and couldn't believe what I heard. I still can't believe it. Why! I think about you often and feel the loss and the anger. You impacted so many people and will live on forever in many hearts.

To Ken's parents and family,

My prayers are with you and want to say "Thank you" for giving this world such a wonderful person. You have blessed many! Ken will always be a HERO and NEVER FORGOTTEN!

Work mids, when the sun comes up. I'm thankful. Training a newbe. We visit this page evey day. I tell him to be strong and not fear the bad guy. I asked...do you unterstand the danger. He stared at your picture and said " I'm gratful, I will not let him down."

I told him this job is always about the people who wear the uniform, who goes into harms way. We will nerver forget.

The other day I saw this guy who could have been your twin. For a split second I forgot and and yelled your name to him. I still think of you everyday see ya later.

From your position, I know you were proud of your goddaughter....Ms. Ryan was such a trooper on her first camping trip, not a complaint. You were sure having a chuckle at Brock, with his broken fly rod, and I was attempting with no luck to make your famous trail mix. We miss you so and think of you everyday and then some!! Your family and friends are dear to us, and we have enjoyed them so, thank you for bringing us to them. You take care and we love you!!

Ken,

As you can see, you are missed. You are loved. Feels like we lost one of our own...well, we did. We worked the same streets, probably arrested the same bad guys.

I was honored to meet Heidi and some of your closest the night after it happened, at the spot. I will never forget the pain.

Just wanted to make sure you know that EPSO remembers, my brother. We always will.

Ken,
I don't know where to begin. I miss you so much. I know you look down on us everyday, and that makes me feel a little better. Keep an eye on my boys, and help keep them safe. Say hi to Jared for me. I wont let them forget (even the new guys).

Hey sweetie! J and I booked our dive trips for this summer. We are hoping to dive the Oriskany in Pensacola like we talked about. I was wondering if you weren't busy if you could tag along with us? I've never done a wreck dive without you and frankly I know I couldn't have done the Spiegel Grove without you! We are also heading to Cozumel in August. Don't worry I'm bringing the extra key you gave me!
I also wanted to let you know that we have all fallen in love with your family. Sue and John are awesome and so much fun. It's somehow comforting to watch Sue's facial expressions b/c they are so you. Jason and I miss you so much. Take care.

Love you always...
