Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Sgt. Sheppard, it's apparent from the Reflections left by those you worked with that you were a very special guy and you are missed terribly. I just hope they all realize that you will forever be with them, in their hearts and minds and will always be keeping your eye on them.

God Bless and Rest in Peace, Brother.

First i will read our Fraternity CREED:

"I believe that the true spirit of Fraternalism is a personal devotion to
one's ideals. It has its roots in definite, tangible things. It springs out
of a love of God and worth of one's fellow man. It grows into qualities of
mind and soul. It is not the attitude toward a few selected ends, but rather
the abiding spirit in which all things are done, all difficulties met, all
successes received, all obstacles overcome.

"I believe that the true spirit of Fraternalism is a breath that breathes
itself into the life and being of those who live it, becoming an unconscious
part of them, ruling and molding their thoughts and acts. We may call it the
right attitude towards life, towards the world, towards right and wrong,
towards the beautiful and good, towards duty and faith in God.

"I believe that the true spirit of Fraternalism is a thing that grows. It is
first associated almost exclusively with a narrow circle of fellow students,
but it broadens with a widening understanding until it takes in all the
important relationships of life. It enters the domain of private life as
thoroughly as in public life. It teaches the fulfillment of obligations to
school, state and church.

"I believe that Sigma Tau Gamma endeavors to bind men together in a
fraternal brotherhood based upon these eternal and immutable truths, which
are set forth in the Principles and in the Code of Conduct of our
Fraternity.

"In this belief, I will endeavor to make my college and my own chapter of
Sigma Tau Gamma more honored and respected by all men, and will endeavor to
conduct myself so that I will ever bring credit and honor to our
Fraternity."

I will always miss the unquesdtionable friendship and love he had for everyone he met. He brought a smile to everyones face even if they were down. He knew how to make the mood always change for the better and by doing this he was great at his job. He will be helping on the Lords watch now and we will ALL miss him until we see him again with the Lord in Hevean. Rest in Peace.

Our Fallen Officers


To Our Fallen Officers

You have done your duty

Kept all safe from harm’s way.

Until that fateful day,

When you were taken away

From your Family, Friends, Fellow Officers,

And the Communities, in which you

Swore “to Serve & Protect”

Your watch is now over,

May you rest with your

Brother & Sister Officers

Whom have sworn the same before you.

Time is now for Us to take the watch

As you stand on The Almighty’s right side.

May all of you watch & protect us from harm’s way.

Rest in Peace my Fellow Officer.

You will always be forever in our hearts.

Jason,

You loved the job, your family, and your friends. We will go on each day doing our job as you did. To your wife and family I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine that would attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. I pray that our heavenly father will keep and protect you. God bless you. We will miss you Jason. Mark

Jason and my brother, Rhett grew up together and so, in a sense, Jason was like a little brother to me. Although I had not seen him too often over the last several years, he and Rhett were still very close and I always felt better for Rhett knowing that Jason was there to look out for him. Every time I saw Jason, he was wearing a smile and he always made sure I left wearing one too. It is a comfort to know that he is still smiling, probably even bigger now as he enjoys the riches that Jesus is sharing with him. Jason, I will miss you. Shelley, I am praying for you.

Reality

Imagine how our world would be
If every police officer quit
Turned in their gun, turned in their badge,
Just finally had enough of it.

No respect, no loyalty,
No appreciation of all they do,
They’d give their lives for all of us,
These wonderful officers of “Blue”.

Kicked at, spit on,
Punched, stabbed and shot,
Everyday assaults on officers,
Done…without thinking a second thought!

Our laws are in favor of criminals,
There’s always some loophole in their case,
Out again to commit more crimes and murders
…creates pain, that we, the family and friends
…in time will never erase.

Why should they do it?
Why take the risk?
Why put their life on the line?
Subject their loved ones to endless suffering,
When their precious life is lost while fighting crime.

More murders, more kidnappings, more robberies and rapes,
Just to mention a few,
Please ask yourself how life would be,
If there were NO officers in Blue!

Would you do it? Could you do it?
And for how many…would YOU give it all?
Rewards are a 21 gun salute, a Medal of Honor,
And your name gets added to the Wall.

Think about it. Why are they here?
And why do some hate them so?
Because they enforce the laws that put convicts and murderers
In jail serving time, or on “Death Row”.

All give some and some give all,
It’s a risk they chose to take:
To put their heart and soul in it,
To put their lives at stake.

So, please take a moment,
Please give it deep thought,
Think of what “you can do”…

To help show respect,
To help follow the laws,
So we’d quit losing our Heroes in Blue!

Brother,

You have not died in vain. Your shift is not yet over, you are still 10-8. One day in thae future you will be called upon to finish out your shift. Like Lt. Mckinney and those who have gone before him. There will be an Officer/Deputy who is alone and in pain. They will be looking for someone to comfort them and show them the way home. That is when you will be called upon to finish out your shift. Rest now brother we will finosh what you have started.
