Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Odell, I had the pleasure of working with you even for a short time. You were truly a joy to be around and were the kind of officer most should strive to be. It was an honor knowing you! You are now where you can truly watch over us all. Your loss has not truly sank it to a lot of us. Rest In Eternal Peace my friend!

Knowing that I have relatives living in Liberty County, it saddens me to know that there will be one less hero to protect them. My thoughts and prayers go out to Deputy McDuffie's wife and children and the Liberty County Sheriffs Office during this most difficult time. Rest in peace, my brother.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, 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 officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, 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 tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got 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 an unmanly tear.
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 often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment 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"

So little time to say the things You'd really like to say.Before you even find the words,The time just slips away.So little time to do the things You feel that you must do.So treasure like the purest gold,The time God's given to you.So little time to reach the height to which you're bound to climb,For swiftly pass the waning years,And there's...so little time.So little time to dream your dreams,For youth has passed its prime,and all too soon you realize that there's so little time.So little time for past regrets,and less,to make amends,Yet God can heal the deepest wounds in chosen cherished friends.So little time to share GOD'S love and beauty here on earth,and know,before his endless time.Their meaning and true worth.Oh,yes there is so little time to seek the hidden door that opens up to heaven's time,Where time's forever more.

For Deputy Sheriff Odell McDuffie, Jr.:

Our duty as law officers presents us with many hazards, and none of us are not exempt from those we encounter while driving on the highway. We regret that our brother Odell would meet his fate in this way, but we must accept with equanimity the misfortunes in our chosen profession.

We pray for Odell's family, friends, co-workers and all who care about him. May they be ready to reach-out to one another in the days ahead.

I am proud to render Deputy Odell McDuffie a final salute.
