Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer McCoy and Family,

Though I never knew you personally, our two families will forever be connected through our profession of arms.

Faithfully and selflessly serving others...knowing one day we will all be together again.

I was one of the lucky ones who got the chance to work with Jeff for 10 years of my law enforcement career and he was an absolute blessing to his job and to the world in general. He was always good for a chuckle and a smile to cheer you up and just watching him smile talking about Sandy and Ella would brighten even the darkest of days.
He will be sorely missed by many, and will NEVER be forgotten.
To Sandy...I never had the pleasure of meeting you and little Ella but I did get to see lots of pictures from when Ella was born and blessed you both so much. Let her, the symbol of your love and the memories of your wonderful husband comfort you at this time and know that he is watching over us all.
Rest in Peace my dear friend..........

Jeff,

Words cannot express how much I will miss you. I am fully confident that you are the best of all places. You have been my best and closest friend since we were college roommates, and both a confidant, advisor and brother to me. The past few days I have been reliving memories of all the life experiences we shared, and I thank God for them and for you and your service. You have always been a positive and Godly role model to me and Sherry, and to my daughters, and we will always remember and thank God for the positive impact that you have had on all of our lives. You were always more like a brother to me, than simply just my best friend and I will miss you tremendously. My only regret is that due to my military career that we did not get to fellowship as often as Sherry and I would have liked. You can rest peacefully now Jeff, Sandy and Ella are in our prayers.

I met Officer Jeff McCoy 18 years ago while working at APD Training Division Secretary. From day one he was always police and made such an impression with me.

APD has not only lost one of its finest but our community will suffer a great loss as well.

I always found Jeff to be honest, professional and more than willing to go the extra mile to help with a case. His demeanor and personality made him a pleasure to work with and I think embodied everything positive about the Abilene Police Department. He will be greatly missed.

To my APD family, we know Jeff is truly in a better place and all we can do is go on. Remember the incident early in Jeff's career. A lesser man or one less dedicated to our profession would have quit. Jeff didn't, he knew there was something more important than self. He didn't have to be out there that morning, he wanted to be there. This one act above all others showed me what kind of man he was, his love of the job and his willingness to serve and protect the citizens of Abilene. Rest with God now Brother Jeff. John 15:13
