Reflections for Patrolman II Timothy Felton Warren
Lord Jesus, as we watch America’s Peace Officers succumb to the wicked and evil in this world, Shot and Killed in the Line-of-Duty, it becomes difficult for us to pick up and move forward. Our communities are on the brink of exploding with tension. In light of the peace officers who are no longer with us, I pray for endurance for our communities and law enforcement agencies. Carry us through this time of strife, that through our struggles, our bonds may grow even more unbreakable. In Your mighty and holy name, I pray. Amen.
Holy Scriptures on Law Enforcement’s Mission:
“For the policeman [peace officer] does not frighten people who are doing right; but those doing evil will always fear him. So if you don’t want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. The policeman [peace officer] is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he [the peace officer] will have you punished. He [the peace officer] is sent by God for that very purpose. Obey the laws, then, for two reasons: first, to keep from being punished, and second, just because you know you should.” [Romans 13:3-5 TLB]
[Jesus Said,] “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” [John 15:13 ESV]
And he [Jesus] said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.” [Luke 23:43 ESV]
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [children] of God.” [Matthew 5:9 ESV]
“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” [Isaiah 6:8 ESV]

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.

Tim,
It's coming up on the 2yr anniversary of your passing in a few days. I just wanted you to know that you have NOT been forgotten. Nor has your family. You and I shared many a midnight shift humping calls in 429 & 430's ward. I enjoyed many of the talks we had. You were a good officer. And a good man. You made the ultimate sacrifice. To this day there are still several of us who relive stories and conversations about you and with you. Keep walking that beat up there brother. We miss you down here. God speed brother.

My grandfather was a Memphis Policeman in the 40s and 50s in Memphis. I was raised in the city in Parkway Village and became a LAPD Officer in 1982. Memphis is near and dear to my heart as the Department is as well.
RIP Tim..... you Sir are not forgotten!

I wanted to let the family know that I will be riding in the Support Capacity of the 2012 Unity Tour for your fallen hero, Officer Timothy Warren. I am honored to do this, being my first year making here. I will remember his name in memory of his life on earth, and now as an angel watching over us all.

To the family and friends of Patrolman Timothy Warren, his fellow officers, and most especially to Timothy:
We honor your service to your community as a law enforcement officer. You will always be remembered and revered. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of our entire family, I wish to extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Timothy was killed in the line of duty. It is obvious he was well-loved by many and well-respected by his peers as reflected in the loving reflections left for him.
May his loved ones continued to be supported by their law enforcement family and other police survivors. Our family grieves with you and for you. To Timothy's family, you are in my heart's embrace today. I share your anquish in losing a beloved family member which surely has to be life's greatest sorrow.
This was your family's first Christmas without you. They are all in my thoughts and prayers during these difficult days.
This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Timothy gave to his community and the citizens of Tennessee, and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on July 3, 2011.

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiance 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 Patrolman Warren. 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 Timothy, 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 Timothy's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Timothy's life was about so much more than the way he died. Timothy will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.
Patrolman Warren, 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 fiance Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been eight & a half years and he's still very much missed and forever loved.
Wishing you brighter and better days,
Jocelyne :)

I had only met you a few times. Each time I was impressed with the man that stood before me. You were always the same person. There was something about you that just stood out. You were not like the other officers on this department. There was something special about you. I am proud to have served with you. I thank you for the person and the officer that you were. Signal C brother. We will continue the fight for you. I know that you continue to watch over us from heaven. Thank you for your years of service.
