Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hi Jon,
Just wanted to say hello and hope you are having the time of your life in Heaven. Though you didn't get that house here on Earth. I'm sure Jesus had quite the Mansion for you. You and my Father have some stories to tell when we get to you. In the meantime. Please keep watching over all of us ❤️
To your Family, seeing all of you has been a Special experience. We have been joined together forever and that Star your Mom saw Still Shines Very Bright.
You will Never be Forgotten.
I will always remember that Jon was side by side as he and my Dad Flew right into Heaven.
So please know you are loved and Jon's Sacrifice that day will never be lost on anyone. I wish you God's love and Peace

Hey Jon, and to your Loving Family,

It's me LeAnn Grace Heimbecker, Phil's Daughter. Today, as every day You are all in my Prayers and Wishes. I just wrote on Dad's Page and wanted to tell you all that I am always thinking of you.

Though I know Lisa the Best, I know Our two Families share the same Kind of Heart, Integrity, and Compassion. We Are The Same Kind of People. I Miss All of You. I Don't Meet People Like Us Here Often.

I Pray that You Know That It Means The World To Me That You Were With My Dad That Day.
That I Wish We Could Have A Do-Over. I'm Grateful You Flew Right Into Heaven Together.
That Your Mom Cared Enough About All Of Us To Keep Our Families Together Through All These Years.

That The Woodbury Sheriff's Department Has Never Ever Forgotten Our Sacrifices Either. That We Gave And Shared You With Everyone Who ever Needed You.
And You Both Gladly Rose To The Occasion.

I Miss You. You Have Done Well On This Earth Jon...So, Now....I'm Sure My Dad Has A 3 Piece Chicken Dinner Waiting For You. Sending Love To You All From New York. LeAnn

Hey Jon, it's me LeAnn, Phil's Daughter. I just wanted to tell you how Blessed we feel about You and Dad being Battle Buddies. No doubt that war rages on, but you have done your part and Given All as a Sacrifice to Keep Us Safe. I wish I could Hear the Jokes and Laughter You and Dad shared Together. Lisa has always been one of my Best Friends and now Our Family and Yours are Always One Together. We are Comforted By What Your Mom Said The Morning After Losing You Both. As She Sat and Drank A Cup Of Coffee She Looked Up At The Sky And Saw The Brightest Star She Ever Saw. She Believed It Was You And My Dad Together. I Thought how Remarkable to Think of Us In Her Own Loss. I Believe It Too. I Look for Their Star Every Night and Early In the Morning. Love to You All

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 19th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace

I pray for the solace of all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace. Thanks to your friends for sharing their memories and devotion to you through their reflections.

Rest in peace, Sir! You will never be forgotten.

Police Officer

June 11, 2008

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Your service to the people of Iowa will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace, and know one day you will be with the ones who love you. Take care of heavens roads, and be there for others who have given their life, as you did serving others.

My cousin was a wonderful, generous and extremely thoughtful man. We miss Jon and we know he is watching over us even more than he did on this Earth. He was the kind of man you would want your son to turn out like, your daughter to marry, and your grandchildren to have him as a father. He was only with us for a short time, but he lived it well and left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
