My condolances for the family and L.E. brothers of Trooper Jenks. I know and understand your pain, last May we lost a very close friend and brother Officer to gunfire. I know the pain and sadness firsthand. It is very hard, to this day, I still think about my former partner on a daily basis. I found this website to be very theraputic, it was really comforting to hear others around the country, who never even met Jason, to offer comfort through a kind word, or emotion.
I will pray for Calvin's family and his brother troopers. Please rest easy, knowing that he will watch over you from above. Next time a situation gets out of control and could have gone very wrong, just remember that just maybe, Calvin was resting on your shoulder, and once again watching your backs. God Bless

I would like to express my sympathy and grief regarding this officer. My blessings & prayers go out not only to the family and friends but also to all the other officers that make this mean everyday world a somewhat better place to raise our families. When I say my payers at night first I pray for the well being of my children, my family, the officers and troops of the world including police to military, homeless people and the world itself! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express my gratitude.

Calvin, Troopers Lt. Bill Ray, Sgt. Carl Jones, Trooper Keith Ray and I were in the duck blind on Reelfoot Lake yesterday and you were at the top of our conversation. You were taken way too early from your family, friends and the THP. We all feel pain for those close to you and wish them well in your absence. May God bless them and keep them. I will think of you during every hunting/fishing trip from now on. Thank you for your duty to the fine state of Tennessee.

To the Wife of Calvin Jenks:
Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences for your recent loss of your husband. I, too, am a THP wife and endure the same fears everyday. But, my Trooper is my hero and I admire him so much for his continued bravery and love of his job. My husband attended officer survival school with Trooper Jenks last fall. He has always spoken highly of him and was devastated to hear the news of his passing.
You and Trooper Jenks' family remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Another senseless tragedy
Another day of grief,
Another day of praying
To help us find relief.
Relief from bitter anguish
Relief from rage so great,
Relief from lenient justice
Which continues to seal our fate.
Relief from heartache’s torment
As we continue on,
Oh, the awesome loss of brotherhood
Now that you are gone.
Though our hearts are deeply broken
And our tears forever flow,
There’s a comforting assurance
That now with God you go.
We know that you are welcome
Now at Heaven’s gate,
While meeting brothers & sisters
Who also met such fate.
The family of Law Enforcement
Knows no distance here or there,
As we recall in comfort
You await us there.

Another life cut short by a senseless act of violence. I pray that those who took you from your family, department and community will be brought to justice. Rest in peace.
