Like no other, Jesus understands your despair. He's been there, He's endured the same pain and loneliness. I know that you are in pain. Cling to Jesus, Remember that He alone holds the promise of resurrection and the hope of eternity, He is, right now Resurrection and Life! Our prayers are with you and May God be big in this time. We will be praying for the Department as well as the family and the community. God be with you all.

To know Jesse was to love him. What you saw was what you got. He was the "real deal". He was so loved by all. His faith in God was genuine. His wife said that the police department has been so helpful and would have made Jesse very proud.
I hadn't realized just how close of a family that officers are until today while at the Hamilton home.
Rest in peace Jesse. You served your city well and with pride. Job well done, Office Jesse Hamilton, job well done !

God be with your family, Jesse. Maybe by your death, you prevented the suspect from killing his family. That may be small consolation for your family, but you are a hero and I hope to see you in Heaven one day.

I think about your senseless death and anger flares my soul
I think about the family you left, the tears in your children’s eyes
I can still feel the loss emanating from the Officer’s standing side by side
Tears streaming down their cheeks, for once not held back
A senseless death, so much pain
Why does the murderer live and we carry you to your cold, dark grave?

I watch as they carry your flag draped coffin
Honor Guards lining the way
Standing in rows, beside and behind were men and women with badges and stars upon their chests
We all came to say goodbye and mourn the loss of our Brother
Does God need Police Officer’s in Heaven?

Some day, your family and friends will look upon your memory and smile
Though at first they could only cry
They will remember that wry sense of humor and your easy smile
You had such a great sense of pride in what you did
You wore your badge and uniform with honor and integrity,
Which still shows through those you have trained and your family and friends

Standing in rows beside and behind
Hands saluting your passing
Badges and Stars shining brightly on their chests
They stood proud and tall for you
Yet for once, their tears fell with the rest
Some were there to say goodbye to a Father, a Husband, a Brother and Friend

The bag pipes played "Amazing Grace"
The Thin Blue Line closed it’s ranks with one Officer less
All this happened as we escorted you to your final rest

Look to your family to support you during this most horrific times. Look to God and pray for support. Nothing is worse than losing the Hero in your life. I know. It happened to me last year.

Surround yourself with family and friends and ask for all the help you feel you need.

Your Hero is with my Hero and we will get to see them again someday.

The Final Inspection

The police officer stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, officer.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"

The police officer squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand.

There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the police officer waited quietly,
For the judgement of his God.

"Step forward now, officer,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."
