I have known John since the 9th grade. I considered him a very close friend. I cannot believe that God took him away so early from his family and friends. May they find solace that his soul is in heaven. He always believed in helping others no matter what. We all miss you brother.

Jonathan, another year has passed. You would hate how some people disrespect the job that we chose to do. Politicians feed on and drive the hatred towards our profession, but there is still a job to do. I will never forget that dreadful day, and the sights, sounds and feelings that were before us. Thank you sir for your ultimate sacrifice. Rest easy brother. Wish I could have done more.

Trooper, it’s 16 years now since you gave your all doing what only a few have the courage to do now. I’m at Skinner Rd and 527 now reflecting on 5/16/2005 as I have done for 15 years and will continue to do out of respect for you. You will not be forgotten by myself or my family. RIP bubba and watch over the ones of us still holding the walls and patrolling the streets. As always I’m sorry I could not beat the dragon.

Trooper, it’s been 15 years now since you gave your all for the state of South Carolina. A lot has changed in this world but a lot has stayed the same. I’m at Skinner Rd and 527 as I have been for 14 years as a token of respect to you. I know you’ve been watching over the ones of us still on the line and holding the walls. For that I thank you. You sir will not be forgotten by me or my family. As I’ve said before, I’m sorry I couldn’t beat the dragon.

Thank you, Rudy and Lin, for not forgetting our precious Jon. I am confident that he is with the Lord and that we will see him again one day.
Y’all rest easy. You did all you could do for Jon but God had another plan. We don’t understand it, but faith trumps fear! God’s Grace is sufficient.

It's been 12 years today that South Carolina lost one of its protectors. I'm sitting at Skinner Rd and 527, the same location I've come back to for the past 11 years out of respect for you and the ultimate sacrifice you gave to this state. The prayers for your family have been given and that day in May 2005 have been replayed yet again. Your EOW has been recorded but I know you are still riding with the ones of us that are still holding the line and protecting the walls. Thank you Trooper and RIP brother. As always I'm sorry I wasn't able to successfully fight the flames.
