Reflections for Police Officer Jason Campbell
Jason,
After working a 14 hour day , I came home to hear that your brother and his friend are coming to my daughter's baptism. I sending this to invite to you to it also. I know that you be there to see her. Each day I say hello to you and st the end of my shift I do the same. You are carried on my police car each and every day. You are the first one I talk to and the late one to thank. I believe that you are part of a group that watches over all law enforcement. Your OFC Down sticker is on my car , and will be there to my end of watch. Miss you and I will see you again.

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Everytime I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the man they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Officer Campbell, especially to his wife. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. You will be in my thoughts.
From reading the reflections left for Jason, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Jason's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Jason's life was about so much more than the way he died. Jason will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.
Officer Campbell, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been almost five years but we still miss him terribly.
Wishing you brighter and better days,
Jocelyne :)

Well sweetheart it's been 6 months without you here now. Some days I wonder how I have ever made it this long but I know you would want me to be strong and take good care of the kids. I am trying so hard. Time does help but there will always be a "void" in my heart for you until we meet again. I am so thankful for our beautiful children. They really keep me going whether I want to or not. Quitting is not an option. I know you and the Lord are watching over us and taking care of us. The kids talk about you a lot. I will never let them forget you, I promise. We cannot wait until the day we can all be a family again in Heaven, where there will be no sin and suffering, no sadness or pain and where we will live forever. I have strong faith and I know that day will come in God's time. We love you and miss you so much and think about you every day. John 3:16,17 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."

Jason.. still can't believe you are gone. I was thinking of you last weekend on a camping trip and how you liked to grill your mushrooms (while we grilled steaks!) Funny when you think of all the calls and training you share on the job but you never think it will be the last time you see someone. Rest In Peace bro...

Jason not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Just the other day I was looking at the contact list on my cell phone and came across 288. I still cant bring myself to take that number off of my phone. Each time I go out fishing I think of the fishing trips we used to take when you would get into the cooler good and deep. 328 and I are planning trips for this fall. We will pop a top in your memory.
My prayers are still with your family, you were a true friend and will be missed from now on.

I was at the KOA campground in New Bern,NC with my wife for a weekend getaway trip. I was sitting out on the pier looking out over the water when my pager started going off. Officer Marty Burroughs and his family had came down to eat lunch with us. My pager said Jason had been in a wreck. It later paged again in just a few minutes and said he had been killed in the accident........
I started crying uncontrollably. I could not stop. Marty cried also. We just looked at each other and could not talk.
Jason was gone. I remember when Jason worked with us at the Sheriff's Office. He was one of the finest guys I ever had the pleasure of working with. So nice and considerate. He was the epitome of what a law enforcement officer should be.
He will long be missed by all that were fortunate enough to know him or have worked him. God bless you Jason and God bless your family.

No one could ever replace the husband and father you were. You were my strength and my rock and I depended on you so much. But as these months pass by, I begin to feel my weakness being replaced by your awesome strength. I pray every day and I know the Lord Jesus Christ answers my prayers and I know that both of you are watching over me and the children each day. I truly feel your presence in this house. It is my comfort zone. The kids really learned a lot from you, more than you thought. I hope I can raise Zackary to be the good young man and Ashley the good young lady you wanted them to become. You were truly one of the "good cops" and you would have done anything for your friends and family. Keep watching over us as I have felt you have. We need your strength and unselfishness in this cruel world here on earth filled with sin. I can't wait to see you and the Lord in Heaven one day. Until then, you will live forever in our hearts...

No words can adequately describe how it feels to lose your husband and father of your children. We shared something so special that some people search a whole lifetime and don't ever find. Even though our time here was cut short, I would rather have only had a short time of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing. I know I will see you again one day in Heaven and we will all be a family again. I will never forget you and will make sure the kids never forget what a wonderful daddy they had. I love you baby...

I only got to work with you and to know you for about 4 months, but your memory will last forever. The dedication you had for your job, the love you had for your family, for your country, the way you helped everyone that needed help from you, was certainly unique. Everyday I leave home or return home I pass close to your resting place, I make a hand cross and say: May God Bless You and rest in peace. One day, we should see you again. Many prayers of strengths go to your dear family.

Jason, words have escaped me, and reality has not set in. This is beyond belief, I just found out. I am so proud of you and all of your accomplishments. I am sorry Bro. I reflect on our days in Germany, playing football and growing up. You have always been a guiding light, the rock in our circle of friends. There are so many memories, so many fun times they will never fade.. What I would give to get the 4 horse men back together again.. To be able to replay our time together again, to live the memories just one more time.. Your friend and brother….

People gathered today to honor you and all of those who have been killed in the line of duty. Chantel was there, of course, and she continues to amaze me with her grace and presence and composure. I never got to see the two of you together, but I know you must be so proud of her. Our family thinks of you every day as your number from the arm bands the officers wore during the funeral hangs in our closet where we see it every day, several times a day. You are not forgotten, and you never will be.

Jason you will not be forgotten. Your dedication to Law Enforcement and to the community is much appreciated. After ECUNC meetings you would always ask "did I talk to much?" Jason what we would do, to hear that over and over again. Your memory will live on in our Take Heed video. We celebrate your life! We honor your memory! RIP

Well Jason or should I say Cambizzal,
I am sorry it took me so long to leave a reflection. I find myself often reflecting about the times on the shift we spent together. I remember your great stories of Germany when you were a kid and all your jobs before law enforcement. You seem to always have the answers to all my issues. I am really going to miss your simile and encouraging words. I don't understand why you had to leave so early but you are in a better place. I will see you again one day!
I'll keep you and your family in my prays,

Well I have been to your page numerous times and tried to leave a relection but everytime I start typing I feel my eyes start stinging and tears trickle down my cheek. Its hard to believe that you are no longer here with us but I know you are in a better place. I will miss the Campbell walk, the smirkey grin, squinted eyes, and telling Cottingham to do the Arnold voice.... The list of memories goes on. I miss you dearly you and your family will forever be in my heart thoughts and prayers.

Eventhough I've worked for the COG for 14 years, I never had the pleasure of working with Officer Campbell. I think of him daily because my route to work carries me by the site of his accident. I'll never forget the feelings I had when we as fellow COG employees payed our last respects to Officer Campbell and watched his wife, children, & family leave PD headquarters the day they layed him to rest. As the tears formed in my eyes, I couldn't help but to whisper a prayer for his wife & children. I encourage the family to continue to look to God for strength. He is the only one that can sustain you. Be encouraged & know that the employees of this great City are here for you.
