I have laid down my life in service to all of you.
I have been a part of the fabric that has held the line between your safety and your victimization. I have given my life so that others may live in peace. I have lived my life as a dedicated member of the greatest profession. There is no greater honor.

As I now become a part of the rich history of law enforcement, please remember me always for I have left behind those who loved and depended upon me.
My partners and my agency, please remember my family, their loss, and don’t let time soften your compassion for them.

You guard the gate now and I will continue my watch from above.

MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND MAY YOUR FAMILY FIND COMFORT IN THE GOOD YOU HAVE DONE HERE ON EARTH.

Rodney "Hot Rod" Jones was a great man. He was always approachable by any member of the public as he greeted them with a smile and a chuckle. He mentored young motormen teaching them how to ride and veterans how to polish their skills.

Rodney I will never forget our interactions around town from shows to you coming into my work. You were a man of honor and a family man. God Speed Brother..
