Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I met Sgt. Nelson when his son played baseball with my grandchild last year. He was a great father and husband.and lived only a few miles from us. It was only a few weeks ago when I spoke with him at a funeral of a former police chief of the EPD.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and the staff of the Edmond Police Department. Over my 58-year police career, I’ve known and worked with many of the former officers of this great department in the OKC Metro area. I know this department is devastated by his passing.

CJ was a police officer who was dedicated to his family and his police career. This senseless tragedy should not have happened. May God be with the family during this time of sorrow. He will be greatly missed.

I had the honor of meeting Sgt. Nelson at the Motor Officer Instructor School in Texas. CJ was a protectionist! He was my training partner during the course and helped a lot of new motor officers the true way of the road. As our friendship continued we trained together in Edmond with his fellow officers. CJ lost his life doing what he loved. You will be missed my friend. Gods speed! We got it from here.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family, and the Edmond Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!
