Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I can't believe six months has passed already.

I still struggle daily with why, the pain is still very much there just not as raw and I still feel so empty without you not a day goes by that I don't wish for you and miss you terribly.

I never thought I would get through the first six months but I have and I know a huge part of why is because of the support from all our CSPD family and friends who have been there no matter what.

I'm starting to laugh again at the crazy moments we shared there was never a dull moment with you around.

Always loving you!

Ken,

You're always in my thoughts brother! Christina and I just got back from the vacation that we've been planning for the last seven months! It pretty much sucked and all I kept thinking of was Sloop John B!!! I had the honor of going to the Fallen Officer Memorial Service the day before we left. You and all the regions fallen officers were honored. I take tremendous comfort in knowing that you will be honored every year...forever. It's very fitting that a man like you should be honored in such a way. Sorry for letting you down but I'll continue to work hard to make it happen. We miss you.

I checked this page and found all the great thoughts from all who knew you. I shed a tear, ok a whole bunch of tears. Unbelievable, it's been 6 months. I remember you and Jered every time I look at the memorial band that so many of us wear. This reminds me of you, what happend, and it reminds me of your smile and joking laughter that you brougt to everyone around. You keep me vigilant. I miss you, we all miss you. I know you are now fishing and kayaking all the rivers you dreamt about. You are the first one on the ski runs you wanted to ski. How are those black diamonds? Thanks for sharing you, and save me a pass for Heaven's Ski Slope, I hope they have the "buddy" pass.

During the last few weeks, a number of us have gotten together several times to remember you, the man you were, and the memories we have of our time with you. Though the pain is manageable much of the time, there are others that are filled with an immense sense of emptiness. I keep hoping and praying that this is all just a bad dream and that as usual, you will walk through the door late to greet us with your unforgettable smile. Your senseless and untimely death haunts me but I hope that in time, I will be provided with the strength necessary to finish the mission you started. You have not been forgotten. Watch over us from your spot near the pearly gates.

Officer Jordan,
I read through your reflections several times a week, and wanted to let you know that you have touched many lives. I recently moved to PA from Colorado Springs, and feel grateful that I had the chance to be a part of your community, and be protected by you and your department. Thank you, Ken, for having the courage to do the job you did, without fear or reservation. I continue to think of your family, loved ones, and the CSPD during this Memorial Day weekend and always.

Ken,
I can't believe it has been 5 months since your untimely and selfliss murder. I think of you daily when I go to work
looking at the old ER and remembering that awful night, when we got the call officer down. I walked back with tears in my eyes hoping and praying it wouldn't be you, but for all of us our worst nightmare came true. The day you were taken from this world you took a part of colorado springs with you. Ken I still remember and always will your smile and how you used to tap your pen on the counter, something so trivial, but something none of us will ever see again. Ken I hold your memory in my heart. I think of you each day and night when I go to and from work. Knowing that you are with the other angels in blue watching over us and keeping us all safe. Your very much missed and your memory will be carried on. My heart goes out to your family, Hiedi and Tori. Ken I thank you for the talks we had, the advice you gave and the sacrifice you made to keep us all safe. Ken we all miss you so much at memorial hospital and wish you were still with us, but I know you are with us in spirit and so is your smile. You and Jared will never be forgotten. Gone but never forgotten.....In loving memory of Ken Jordan. We all cried and the angels smiled the day they brought you home. Well I will close for now so I can stop crying. I miss you Ken and will never forget you. You made a big influence on my life and I can never thank you enough.

Your friend,
Michelle (MEMO ED)

Jordan,

DC was amazing. It was really nice spending time with Sue, John and the Gang. I have been to the memorial in DC before but it was very diferent this time.

I found it very peacefull just sitting by your wall.

You are in excellent company on that wall. J-ROD is only two walls away from you.

(Hey can you keep an extra eye on Hunter this week for me!)

Yesterday in the Springs, they had a very nice ceremony at the new law enforcement memorial site. Hopefully they will have it up by this time next year.

I miss you so much!

All my love,

Nadine.

Wish us luck this weekend and keep an eye on all of us! We are thinking of you.

What I would give to trade places with you, so your family and freinds could have more time with you. You're missed brother, I'll never forget the impact you had on my life.

May 19, 2007

Sue is right; you were well remembered this week. Still, we'd all wish you here.

Please watch the line for those left behind.

God bless your family and friends.

May 19, 2007

You would be amazed by the way your country, fellow officers, and friends remembered you and the many others this week. Even the President spoke of YOU during his address. Not too shabby.

You probably know that your circles have collided. And we're all better because of it and each other. Thanks.

Still missing you more than I ever thought possible.

Hey Bro,
It is about 2 in the morning and I just woke out of a dead sleep. I woke up with a smile on my face and a tear in my eye. I had a dream that Staci and I were walking in the forest and ran across a rushing stream. In the middle of that stream there you stood, fly rod in hand, pulling out fish faster than you could cast out. You just looked up and smiled. I still remember our first attempt at fly fishing, what a disaster, but what a trip. I miss you brother, in a few hours we will watch them put your name on the memorial with other fallen heros who gave their life for our protection, but I am selfish and would rather have one more camping trip with you.
I miss you and love you,
Steve

I had the pleasure and honor of meeting you sister Sue and her husband at the Memorial Service in Washington DC a few days ago. Your memory has continued and will forever be remembered. I never had the chance of meeting you but I feel your presence, along with my brother's every time we're at a memorial event and then some. We all miss you both.

God Bless,

Jonika

I think you all would be proud of the way they honored all 147 of our newest "Angels in Blue" this week in Washington. To see and hear your names, it was all such an amazing tribute! It was really nice to see Sue & John on Tuesday, she told me "I decided this morning that today would be a good day..." I'm wishing Sue and your family many more "good days" as I know that there will be many tough days ahead! Please know that we are here for you always, and we will never forget.

Heroes never die, they live in our hearts forever.

Today my family and I remember and honor you and all of your brothers and sisters who lived and loved this job. Those we have lost and those who still hold the line in honor of you.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Heidi, Tori and your family as they remember you today.

Jordan,

I am missing you so much! I decided to go camping this weekend in memory of you since I didn't make it to Washington, and I did everything you would have yelled at me for I burned all the hair off my arm in the fire. I had to laugh remembering the time your pants melted to your leg because you sat too close ;o) I listened to your favorite songs with my windows down (I know! I know! I was disturbing the peace and quiet) and I talked on my cell phone sitting by the camp fire. Sorry babe I just couldn't resist driving you crazy a lil more than I already did.

Even though I really enjoyed being out there and I felt so close to you I feel so incredibly empty and alone without you! I even missed Ruger trying to hog the sleeping bag :o) I miss both of you so much.

Love you always!

Hi Kennyboy! I was thinking about you today. Probably because I was talking to my mom yesterday... she's been in the Philippines for the last 8 months, and it looks like she's staying there for her retirement. I was telling her that your mom had called me to relay the message to my mom about the CPU Alumni reunion. She also mentioned that she wanted to take a trip up to Devil's Lake and spread some of your ashes there. I hope it's not too high up, because unlike you, I didn't stay fit. :-P I hope my dad's not driving you nuts trying to get you to learn his 'airplane propeller kung fu move'. hahahah.... *sigh*

Kennyboy, I miss ya bro...

How can an experience seem like yesterday and forever ago at the same time? Everytime I look at your picture here my soul struggles to figure out a way to go back and stop it from happening, or reach into the heavens and plead with the Lord to allow you to come back to your family and friends. They say that time heals all wounds... Til then we struggle to make sense of non-sense. I swear that everyday you remind me that life comes with no guarantees. So I live and love to the fullest every single day. And pray that another innocent soul is not harmed... But if it is, let it be on my shift and me to respond!

Hey Ken,

Just passing by.Thought I would stop to say "HEY". You are missed....

Ken was the best. He is truly missed, he blessed us with his presence, and we are all better people to have known him.

5 months, seems like a minute and an eternity. We miss you.

I just got back from Cozumel a few hours ago. I've had the urge to dive a lot lately. Swim in the ocean and watch the fish. So peaceful... So much of that island reminded us of our numerous trips there together. A cold beer on Punta Sur, grouper as big as you, John chasing stingrays (yet again - no hospital this time), and our always favorite night dives. Wished more than anything you could have been there with us. Still can't believe it's been 5 months...
I just want to call you up and tell you about all the new things we found this time. Not a day goes by...

Ken, I have to pour out something. So many of your fellow officers are still haunted by your death. Those that taught you your trade, those that served with you. Just smile upon them, invade their dreams and put their pain to rest. Let them somehow know that you are in heaven watching. You are a hero, I cry as I drive by the bridge. Protect your fellow brothers.
