Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Joseph C. Antwine
Antwine was my roommate at the police academy. We hit it off from the start. He loved his girlfriend, family, and friends. He spoke of them often. He loved the job and was a good friend. I recall the entire class taking ironing guidance from him as exemplified the Citadel way in effort to always look sharp and take pride in the uniform.
I thank God for the time we shared. I remember you often my friend. Always will.

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.

I worked alongside Antwine for 16 weeks in SCCJA Police Academy. Spent hundreds of hours in class, the shooting range, and in the dormitory with this wonderful young man. He really stood out above the rest. He was talented, smart, energetic, always made others laugh, yet took his work seriously. He really loved his job. It's a tragedy he was not able to live out the wonderful and successful life he would have had. His life being cut short is truly a great loss to his family and friends. RIP brother.
