Reflections for Patrolman Keith Ashley Turner

25 years and I still remember it like yesterday. It took less than 30 seconds for me to get to you but I was too late. I wonder why you and not me. I guess the Lord wasn’t finished with me yet and needed a young warrior in Heaven. Your daughter has grown into a beautiful young lady and your granddaughter is beautiful.Rest easy Brother we’ve got it from here.

On today, the 25th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Moody. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Just finished watching the Moody Fireworks show (Thunder in the Park) that was originally The Keith Turner memorial Fireworks Show. It brought back a lot of memories. I was with Moody and was there that night and the following week. Keith was a great officer and a good man.

Lord, I ask for courage;
Courage to face and conquer my own fears...
Courage to take me where others will not go.
I ask for strength;
Strength of body to protect others...
Strength of spirit to lead others.
I ask dedication;
Dedication to my job to do it well...
Dedication to my community to keep it safe.
Give me, Lord, concern;
For all those who trust me...
And compassion for those who need me
And, please, Lord, through it all; be at my side.

I lived in Moody and remember Officer Turner patrolling our street. He was a great officer and a kind man. He always took the time to talk with us kids. He was the kind of guy that we all wanted to grow up to be. RIP Officer Turner. You aren't forgotten.

Keith,
Thought of you today as I have several times over the years since the police academy. I still remember your laugh and the happiness you brought to everyone during that time. I hope that your family is well and glad to know your killer was put to death. Miss you Brother!

I remember Keith sitting behind me in the reserve academy in Tuscaloosa, always had a smile on his face and a joke to share. I also remember the terrible night at Decatur PD when we learned of Officer Keith Turner's murder. I often reflect on Keith Turner and think of his family often. Keith thank you for your sacrifice. You will never be forgotten.
