NO! I do not accept human death. The spirit lives on, provided he was a man of God. My sympathies go to his family, children and importantly his department. Please treat his family as thought he is still there ... because he is. A sworn police officer never gives up his responsibilities, and will carry them out in the Army of God. He will whisper warnings in rookies ears. He will advise command as what is right. Believe me, he continues to serve in a different way. He is comfortable with God in Heaven. He has no pain or worries as he known those who are safe. May we pray for his sole, his recognition of Heaven and his everlasting life. Carry on Officer Meacham, they have it from here.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. He is in a better place now. He died a hero..Helping a brother even though he was off duty. That’s the thing; his other family needed him and he was there.

To Officer Phillip Meacham's family and his Hopkinsville PD family, my heartfelt condolences. Thank you for your service. I was saddened to hear the news. I met and worked with Phillip quite a few years ago when I lived near Hopkinsville during my time at Ft. Campbell. He was a good man and will be missed. God Bless!

Phiilip, I want to leave a condolence for your family and a thank you for your service. I was born in Hopkinsville in 1945 and my 2nd great grandmother was a Meacham and we are probably related.
I honor you!!

"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."
