Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

We little knew that day,
God was going to call your name.
in life we loved you dearly,
In death , we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is sitll our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Officer Jordan may you rest in peace. You've given the ultimate sacrifice for the greater good. We that have given our lives to helping and battling those that mean harm to others are constantly under scrutiny but we strive on. God bless you and keep you. May you now look over those that continue to strive for a better place and fight the ongoing battle that is crime.

My First Christmas In Heaven
Author: Wanda Bencke



I see the countless Christmas trees
around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars,
reflecting on the snow

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

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

I have no 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 am not so far away,
We really aren't apart.

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

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

After all, love is a 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 love
he has for each of you.

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

The End

December 14, 2006

Even though we only new each other a short time, you left a huge impression, and left a huge standard for all who knew you to live up to. Your memory and influence will live on through all who knew.

God favors those who have the courage to stand proud and tall! God speed to you and God be with your family and Heidi.

My friend,
It seems like yesterday we were talking about the future, having kids, getting old, and watching them chase animals up and down the mountain. Things will never be the same. I'm sure you were looking down on all of your family and friends this past week smiling. Everyone is so proud of you and loved you so much. You were one of a kind......

What a tragedy, what a loss..God speed to Officer Jordan and his family. To the one who did this, your day of judgement will come. Your murder of a fine public servant will be viewed harshly the day you stand in front of God and that day God will punish you in a way only He can!

Prayers to his fellow officers, he did well.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.


Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.


When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.


He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.


He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.


This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:


"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied:


"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

God is good! He has big plans for Ken! May he be with the Jordan Family, Friends and Fellow Hero's!

I attended your funeral procession as it passed through town. I think you would have been impressed by the turnout.
I am a tough, hardened guy, or so I thought. I gotta say I choked back tears as all of your fellow police officers passed by in formation. The sight of 500 police cars in a row will never be forgotten by me.
Thank you, Officer Jordon, for your part in keeping Colorado Springs safe. Your memory will live on forever.
To often we, as citizens, overlook the tough job ALL policemen do everyday. Officers don't ask for fame. They don't ask for glory. They just ask for respect. You have mine.
May you Rest in Peace.

I am proud of you, my fellow brother, in the world of police work. You fought crime, got drunk drivers off of the street and served the citizens well. My God bless your family and feel comfort that they will see you again.

Policeman's Prayer to St. Michael
St. Michael, Heaven's glorious Commissioner of Police, who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professional eye on your earthly force.

Give us cool heads, stout hearts, hard punches, an uncanny flair for investigation and wise judgement.

Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores, strict with law breakers and impervious to temptations.

You know, St. Michael, from your own experiences with the devil that the policeman's lot on earth is not always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so pleased God, your hard knocks that so suprised the devil, and your angelic self-control give us your inspiration.

And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your Heavenly Force, where we will be as proud to guard the throne of God, as we have been the city of men. Amen.

The Dash....
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end.
He noted that first came the date of her birth,
and spoke of the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters most is how we live and love,
And how we spend our dash.

sunny days seem to hurt the most.
i wear the pain like a heavy coat.
i feel you everywhere i go.
i see your smile, i see your face,
i hear you laughin' in the rain.
i still can't believe you're gone.

it ain't fair: you died too young,
like the story that had just begun,
but death tore the pages all away.
god knows how i miss you,
all the hell i've been through,
just knowin' no-one could take your place.
an' sometimes i wonder,
who'd you be today?

would you see the world? would you chase your dreams?
settle down with a family,
i wonder what would you name your babies?
some days the sky's so blue,
i feel like i can talk to you,
an' i know it might sound crazy.

it ain't fair: you died too young,
like the story that had just begun,
but death tore the pages all away.
god knows how i miss you,
all the hell i've been through,
just knowin' no-one could take your place.
an' sometimes i wonder,
who you'd be today?

Ken,

It shames me that I hadn't picked up the phone to call you for so long. I went to your visitation and met all your wonderful friends and Heidi. It's so obvious that you were surrounded by those who love you and for that I am grateful. Your parents were shocked to see me and I'm happy I was able to properly pay my repects. We were once great friends and I'm so sorry that time and miles helped us to drift apart. I wish I could just play another game of pool with you or maybe hit a mountain bike trail, but there's no way in heck you'd get me into a kayak because that's just crazy.

I'm so proud of you and all your accomplishments. You seem to have done everything in life that you set out to do...something very few people in life can say, including me.

For Ken: it's been one week since you left, it feels like one minute. You will be forever missed, loved and remembered. May teams of angels carry you home. RIP.

Ken, you made a huge impact on your family, your friends, your community. You wouldn't have believed the outpouring of love for your memory, your life. Your L.E. family, in an unthinkable time, reached out in ways that I think would have made you proud. I sure was. (between tissues)

I deeply regret that I didn't get to know you personally, but (can't finish this thought but you probably know my mind!) I hope you saw the memorials. I scribbled something (@ Fountain & Murray) but my handwriting is terrible. Jason will tell ya.

Please know that your friends here have your back...Jenn, Jay....thanks, son! You've made your community proud, thankful. Love you guys more than words can say.

Heidi.....I don't know where to begin. Thanks for your kind words at the visitation. Glad that J was there...he's that kinda kid. Love you, love him, love you all. ALL CSPD......and ECSO, and MEM, AMR.....

God Bless. (Typed thru tears)
