John 5:28, 29 - "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

I never met you, but you continue to touch my life. Your community, agency, friends, Brothers and Sisters in blue, and most of all your Father, who I have had the honor of getting to know, keep your spirit alive. I am in awe of how hard he works to make a difference in the LE community...no doubt it is where you drew your own calling to serve.
Until we meet on the other side...I will continue to honor YOU by honoring the badge.
Semper Fidelis, Slow Salute...

JD, your quick smile and sense of humor come to mind often. I rarely drive through Rosenberg without being reminded of you and the calm you brought through some of the most heart breaking of situations. May God continue to bless your wife and children. Rest in peace my friend.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.
I pray for solace for all those who love and miss you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Time is still measured in months, but it seems like a lot longer, brother.
Keep smiling and laughing at(or with) all of us J.D. Because we can't laugh at some of this stuff, we'd cry.......
Whatever happens, keep looking out for us, even when we make mistakes because we "just have to do SOMETHING"......

Deputy J.D. Norsworthy,
To my dear friend,
There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you.
You always had a smile, even in times of sorrow.
To a man that was embraced by the good, and feared by the bad.
We will miss you my friend.

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Every time I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the officer they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Deputy Norsworthy. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. (The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. I can also be found on Face Book.) You will be in my thoughts.
From reading the reflections left for John, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember John's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that John's life was about so much more than the way he died. John will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.
Deputy Norsworthy, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been eight years and he's still very much missed and forever loved.
Wishing you brighter and better days,
Jocelyne :)
