Rodney was my next door neighbor growing up in Detroit. I remember him getting his 1st motorcycle delivered and he learned how to ride it up and down our street. I also remembering him building that Mustang with that 514 cubic inch motor, man was that car fast! Rodney turned me on to police work since I did not come from a law enforcement family, so because of HIM I became a police officer! I remember the day I got the new of his passing and I was pretty shook up...rest in peace Mr Rodney we have it from here!!

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.

Rodney and I were classmate in the academy. Our first assignment was at the former 8th Precinct, where we worked together as scout car partners. We eventually went in different direction; Rodney going to Gang Squad and I went to the Narcotic's Section. Rodney was given the code name "Hot Rod," and I was given "Superman." No matter where we were, when he saw me, he would extend his arms making the wind sound of flying, calling "SUP!" I remember that smile and our conversations. Rodney was a classmate, a partner, a friend and it's very hard to accept that his tour of duty is over. Miss you "Hot Rod."

HOT ROD, I remember the day we met, you got me in trouble and I spent time at internal affairs behind that. That was the start of a friendship that continued to this day. I followed you to traffic enforcement where it was a constant competition on who could ride that bike the best, you always beat me, lol. We spent years on the DPD Honor Guard together and from there you became a big brother to me. Some people you think will never leave you and you were that person, you were bigger than life. Bro I miss you.

Prayers go out to the family. It means a lot to know we're safe out there and people are worthy enough to give their lives. My own dad (Eryk Heck) gave his life for us in Fort Wayne. All of my respect goes out to this man.

To the family of the late Rodney Jones I like to extend my condolences. I know that this was a very difficult time. I know that GOD will supply you with everything you need to press on. My favorite scripture is John 9:4 I must work the works of Him that sent me. while it is day when night cometh no man can work. I know that Rodney was loved by you all. I am the best friend Annette of Officer Rodney Johnson killed in the line of duty in Houston, Texas 2006. My prayers are with you and he is smiling down from heaven until you all meet again.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Officer Jones died.

To the Jones 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 Jones gave to his community and the citizens of Michigan, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 14, 2013.

Officer Jones

Thank you for your service. You will be welcomed by all others who also chose to "Protect and Serve" who went before you. 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, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

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