To the family, friends and people who knew Deputy Norsworthy, it is a travesty to loose this hero in an infant stage of his career. I believe it would have been an even bigger travesty had he not had the opportunity to pursue his dream.

Thank you John.

I meet JD when he was 19 working for his Dad. I soon became the 1st employee of that Co that was not family. I soon became the "adopted Norsworthy". 20 years of knowing the Norsworthy's, quite an adventure. I watched JD grow into a fine Man, Dad, loyal son, brother, husband. I remember when he told me he was quiting his Dad's Co to become a RPD officer. Lot's of stories, lots of memories. His cousin chocked the words yesterday " today we lost a good one" is an understatement. To all his brothers in law enforcement, God Bless you for doing what you do.
I will miss JD greatly, I am proud he called me a friend.

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"
