Officer Jordan,

A great hero said, "Courage is being scared to death - but saddling up anyway." Thank you for having the courage to saddle up. You will be missed very much. You are a true HERO.

Officer Ken Jordan you made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, and will never be forgotten. I have never wanted to wear CSPD's uniform as badly as I do now. Your courageousness, and heroic sacrifice will forever remain in my heart. You have inspired me now more then ever to follow through with my dream of becoming a police officer. I hope that one day I too will have touched as many lives as you have. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family, friends, and colleagues at the Colorado Springs Police Department. Rest in Peace, and please keep an eye on the men and women in blue.

To one of Colorado Springs finest, thank you for giving the ultimate sacrifice. As a sister of a CSPD officer this really touches my heart. But as my 8 year old asked me "Mommy, why do the good guys have to die when the bad guy didn't?" A question we all ask ourselves. Rest in peace and know that my prayers are with you, your family and all the brave people in law enforcement.

Ken, I was in Washington when you fell. I was in such shock when I got the call, I couldn't and didn't want to believe what I was hearing. It didn't even become real until today when I was coming to work and I passed the memorial on Fountain. Thank you so much for the man you were, you know you impacted many lives in your way too short of time. I know you didn't want to be a hero, but you are. Although I would prefer to have you back, it will be my honor to carry you to the rest you deserve. I'm saddened and hurt you had to make this sacrifice, but I will keep you close to my heart always. Rest well brother, "your clear to be out east."

Ken,

I have sat down and tried to think a hundred times what it is that I want to say...I still don't even know where to begin...

A few nights ago, I sat your primary...you had sent me a message, and as you always do, you called me by name. You are one of the few that always does that...If I had known that was going to be the last time that I would ever speak to you, I would have said something completely different. And then, last night, on my way to work, I stopped by your memorial, and I had that chance...to say something different...I was at a loss for words. All I could do is stand there and weep.

As I tucked my little guy in to bed tonight, I helped him say his prayers. "Now I lay me..." his little two year old voice sounded so sweet, my eyes bagan to burn with tears...together we asked for God to bless "Poppy, and his Brothers and Sisters in Blue...and to give Ken a hug and Jared too." My little man is too young to understand...or so I thought, but as I knelt by the bed, weeping, trying to gain my composure, that same sweet voice whispered to me, "Mommy, he's okay."

You are a Hero, Ken...Rest in peace.

My prayers go out for Ken, his family and friends. My prayers also go out to your brothers and sisters in blue, it is a hard job and after something like this happens it makes it even harder.

Though I did not know you personally, I will never forget the ultimate sacrifice you made. I went by your memorial last night and was so touched by the many who had left cards, poems, and flowers in your memory. Rest in Peace, brother!

Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

Ken,
There are no answers, it simply isn't fair. There hasn't even been time to catch our breath. So many people looked up to you and your legacy will live on. You will never be forgotten. You were always willing to help, always willing to break off to cover another on a call and your work ethic is second to none. You were one of the hardest working cops I had ever met. So you and Jared know, we'll keep trying to do our best down here, we have to,... it isn't easy. But I know you've got our backs. We miss you guys. To Ken's family, please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers and always will be.

Ken-I can't believe you are gone. I'm so glad I got to talk to you on Monday night. I never thought I would hear just a couple of hours later that you were gone. Your family is being taken care of and they are great people. I know we talked about this several times and everything you wished for, if we ever had to face this, is being done. We will all still go skiing and rafting and scuba diving and we will think of you and your amazing ability to do these sports every moment we are there. I miss you so much and I will always love you. I will see you again.

Our son Patrick met Ken in Kindergarten. They remained friends for 27 years. We watched him grow from a cute little boy to this impressive young man. We had so many good times together on vacations and just being together. We loved Ken & I know how Ken loved his family. We are so blessed to have known him. I'm sure the gates of heaven opened wide & he was received with love like he was here on earth by family & friends.
