Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Jason, I want to thank you for everything. It was an honor to have worked beside you for 2.5 years but it was more an honor to have you as a friend. RIP buddy, we will take it from here. Love You Brother!

To the family and friends of Officer Jason Ellis and to his fellow officers:

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Jason was killed.

To Jason's family, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Officer Ellis gave to his community and the citizens of Kentucky, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on May 25, 2013.

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman 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, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman 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 policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

Officer Ellis,

You died honorably, rest well in the arms of God.

To Your Family,

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray, “Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, family and loving, caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name, Amen”

I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for the past two years. Feel those prayers. God is with you, He knows and will ease your pain.

I pray for this brave officer and for all those who serve, my great grandfather William Smith was killed on Christmas Eve 1923, he was a fellow Kentuckian and fellow officer, what would we do without these brave men and women, where do such people of courage come from? I don't know for sure but I thank God everyday for these heroes.

Rest in peace, my brother. To Mrs. Ellis and their babies; I am so sorry for your loss. Your boys will grow up and will know that their father lived and died a hero, though it's a paltry trade for years lost with family and friends. Please know that your pain is shared by thousands of law enforcement professionals. No act of valor, no good deed is worth a good man's life. I'm sorry that you and your boys had to endure this.
