Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Deputy Mooney,
I was never lucky enough to meet you but you worked with my husband years ago doing private security. He and I attended your wake and met your family and loved ones. From what my husband has told me about you I know that you were an amazing person. I can't believe it has been one year since your EOW. I know that you are in a better place now and I keep your family in my prayers. God bless you and thank you for all the service you did for this country.

Hey Jason,
We went to see you yesterday. I can't believe it's been a year already. There was somebody there when we pulled up, then somebody pulling up to see you as we were leaving...just goes to show how much you are loved, missed, respected, and thought of. Gone, but never forgotten. RIP

You are missed like no other brother. Not a day goes by that we don't think about you. Just last night we were sitting in the dayroom bs'ing a story about you came up.

Rest Easy Brother, the Bar is eternally yours.

I and my family moved to Stafford about two years ago and there is a reason... the community you served, protected, and helped to make a safe one is the reason. After reading these reflections of you and actually sensing the love people have for you it is no wonder why you will be missed. I was saddened when I heard about your accident as was everyone in our community I talked to. From one LEO to another you will be missed but you will not be forgotten. I will be riding in your honor at the Law Emforcement ride in Washington DC during Police Week. My prayers and thoughts are with your family, your fiancee, and the Stafford County Sheriff's Office. I didn't know you but I will miss you... we got it from here brother you just rest now.

Your end of watch came while myself and 300 other law enforcement officers from around the world were attending the FBI National Academy just up the road in Quantico. We all felt the lost and mourned with your brothers. Rest in peace we will continue where you left off. You will never be forgotten.

My Tribute to You for your Marine Corps service-Semper-Fi

"Marines"


You can have your Army Kakiis,
And your Navy Blues,
But here’s a different fighting man,
I’ll introduce to you.
His uniform is unlike,
Any you’ve ever seen,
The Germans called him “Devil Dog”,
His title is “Marine”.

He was trained in Parris Island,
The place that God forgot,
The sand was fourteen inches deep,
The sun was blazing hot.
He awakened up one morning,
In front of his rack he’ll stand,
And in through the doorway walked,
A giant of a man.

He turned and faced this young Marine,
With eyes as cold as steel,
He said, “I am your DI,
And this is for real.
I’ll make your life as miserable,
As miserable as I can,
And when you finally leave this place,
You’ll be a fighting man.
You’ll be a rifle expert,
You’ll know your weapon well,
And when you encounter the Viet Cong,
You’ll send their souls to Hell.

Now gather around you young Marines,
And lend me all your ears,
And I’ll tell you of a few things,
We’ve conquered through the years,
We fought at Iwo Jima,
The land of fire and Hell,
We killed all those Japanese,
And took their land as well.

Now you can tell your ladies,
And this my Lad is true,
To get herself a young “Marine”,
There is nothing he can’t do.
He’s peeled a million onions,
And twice as many spuds,
Then you’ll find him in the slot chutes,
A soaking up the suds.

And when he gets to Heaven,
St.Peter he will tell,
Another “Marine” reporting Sir.
I’ve served my time in Hell.

Jason forever you will remain in my heart. My tears can not express how much I hurt on the inside. I miss you so much, and I only wish for a way to bring you back. I'm always going to cherish the times we shared, and how you always knew how to make me laugh and smile. Jay your my biggest hero and there is never a day that goes by where I don't think about you. But I guess as they say "only the good die young." I can't believe that it has been seven months, the hardest seven months of my life. Jason I love you kid, and I will never ever forget you.

My dearest Grandson it has been 6 months since you left us, and the pain remains in my heart. I am at peace knowing you are there with Uncle Danny. I love you and think of you each day. I feel your presence in so many ways. I know you are happy and peace but my heart remains empty without you. You were my first Grand child and how very happy I was at your birth. We had some great times together and I shall always remember them. Love Grandma Terrion.

I only had the pleasure of knowing Jason for a short time as I had recently moved to Stafford. As I embarked on joining a new fire department, he was one of the most welcoming members. I will forever be grateful for the few moments we had to share and the enthusiasm that he showed during those times. He was an inspiration to all of us. May he rest in peace.

“MY HEAVENLY BROTHER”

Jay I remember when I first met you.
And the glory and honor that gleamed all around you.

A hero to some but more in my eyes.
Who would have known I had an Angel riding with me in disguise.

You accomplished more than people can fathom.
Three occupations more! then people can handle.

Protecting and serving, Serving and protecting.
Your country your county a hero you were reflecting.

I would listen as a fire truck would past.
Who’s that! That’s Jason fulfilling his task.

You put your life on the line when you faced devastating fires.
But you proceeded through, a true man to admire.

And when the day was over you retired your uniform.
And put another one on and faced a different storm.

And in the midst of the storm there were numerous people you touched.
You were a credit to all, because of the life you lived as such.

Brother I can still see you wearing that brown.
Even though you retired that uniform for your Holy Crown.

I see your badge as a star in the sky.
You’re glorified now with Jesus at your side.

A lot of people weep when they pass I 95 142 over 7.
That was the gateway to your eternal heaven.

So Jay for you! I shall rejoice.
I played you cell phones message so I can hear your voice.

You are gone my brother, but never forgotten.
You can run code 1 all day in Heaven without stopping.

In your Cruiser or in your Fire Truck.
God placed you in my life and it was more than pure luck.

Jay I’m blessed! because you came into my life.
Rest now brother you earned your stripes.
