Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Rest in Peace, Lee. Lee was was my cousin. He was killed by the outlaw Will Jacobs. Jacobs was convicted, but served only 10 years in prison before being pardoned by Texas governor. Thanks to Milam County Deputy Gregg Kouba for his assistance in my quest to get Lee added to this memorial.

Deputy Sheriff Gabriel Leander Pool is my husbands 3rd great Uncle. We are humbled by his sacrifice and his pictures hangs on our family wall as a constant reminder of what is means to truly serve others. As a family with a long line of LEO's it is very touching to see others remembering those gone long before us.

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

Rest In Peace.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family, friends and all the members of the Milam County Sheriff's Office. We were made safer by his service and we all suffer their tragic loss. The family of Deputy Pool deserves our appreciation and gratitude for their sacrifice. No greater love has a man than the will to give his life for another. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Deputy Pool is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003).

We all grieve over the lives lost in the line of duty. I hope you can find some comfort knowing that there are countless prayers that go out for your family.

Deputy Pool, you are remembered on this date of your death. You will always be remembered.

These are senseless tragedies that never seem to stop. God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

...Gone, but never Forgotten....
