Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

To the family, friends, and officers that knew Deputy Zunker, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you face the trying times ahead of you. Please know your not alone.

Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way
I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closest

We never can understand how or why these awful things happen but I believe that God knows everything that happens and is aware of every tear we cry. He has carried Jason to Heaven and you will see him again when you get there.

Jason started as a reserve officer in our department. As Jail Administrator, I hired Jason full time to work in the jail. He did an excellent job for us and when a road opening came up, it was with regret that I watched him go out to patrol. At the same time, however, I knew that was where his heart was. He loved the road, and having worked it myself for many years prior, I could understand his love for it. He did an excellent job and always gave that little extra, the mark of an outstanding, caring officer. We all need to pray for his family and help them in any way possible. The devastation such a tragedy causes is immeasurable. He will never be forgotten. Thank you for your service and may we never forget !!
