Officer Down Memorial Page

Hey Brian, talked about you on monday during a hockey game. My cousin met Jo-Ann and asked who she was, as i was telling her, the tears started rolling down my eyes. When Jo and I get together we sometimes talk about the fun times we had at the house. The few times I've visited, it's hard to go inside, it just takes me back to a very bittersweet time. bitter when you left, sweet when he would spend time laughing. MISS YA! Every time I watch School of Rock I think of you... Thank You for watching over us and keeping us safe.

Sometimes some song lyrics say it best--

And when one of us is gone
And one of us is left to carry on
Then remembering will have to do
Our memories alone will get us through.....

Seems impossible that it's been 7 years-love you forever sweetie

Hi Honey,
I miss you so much, I think of you every day. I can't believe it's been almost 6 years and 5 months. it seems so long ago yet like yesterday and sometimes it feels like a dream that I am going to wake up from. I keep hoping it will get better but it doesn't, it just changes with time. I will love you forever and I think of you every day. I am so proud and honored to have been your wife and to have had you for 6 years.
Love you forever,
Me xoxo

Happy Birthday sweetpea!!!! There were three babies this year-a girl and 2 boys. I keep thinking how excited and happy their parents must be--little gifts from Heaven that grow up to be big gifts! Saw some of the police officers today-that always makes me feel good. Love you.....forever!

I had the distinct honor of serving as the funeral director for your family during those horrible days in November of 2005. I became so close to JoAnn and your folks and I don't think a wife or a set of parents could have been prouder of a son. Your mom and dad gave me a coin with your badge and number (7980) emblazened on it. I have carried this coin in my pocket everyday for the last 6 years and I think of your sacrifice everytime I reach into my pocket. I have told your story often to my little boys and though they never knew you, you are their hero. Thank you Brian for your willingness to give the last full measure of duty.

Six years-sometimes it seems longer and at other times it seems like this happened just a few hours ago. One thing for sure, you'll always be in my daily thoughts and in my heart forever.

Action Jackson,

You always seem to find a way to make me laugh. Either remembering random comments you've made, your crazy stories, or with things I see that remind me of you. Think of you daily bro.

Hi Bri, Thinking of you today, but I think of you a lot of days. I see your mom a lot and we talk about all the wonderful things you contributed to the lives of those you touched. And when I am thinking of you, I always see that beautiful smile of yours. Love, Nancy

OOPS--you would have been 34 yesterday--not 32! I'd love to claim it was a typo but I think it was more of a senior moment! OK you can stop laughing.....

Wow, another year has passed--you'd be 32 today--happy birthday sweetpea! I did all my special visits today (only one new baby this time!). This year I added birthday cookies for the police departments--I think they thought I was crazy! Love you forever!!!!

I think of you often, brother. I was teaching weapons retention class on Friday and again told your story. You're a great man and I love you.

I just founded a nonprofit organization called Warrior SOS, Inc. I plan on starting a Brian Jackson Award in your honor.

Life doesn't end at death... Hopefully, you've been given a chance from beyond the grave to read all the kind comments from your friends, your wife and your family.

Lovingly in Christ,
your brother and eternal friend,

Jeff

Five years is such a long time to live without you. You were the best son ever, and I will always be proud of you. Thanks for helping to fill my life with good memories. I will love you forever.

Hi Honey,
I had the oppertunity to brag about you saturday night at Guns and Hoses. I am so proud of you and all the good you did on the job. It's amazing, how many people say such wonderful things about you. Thank you to everyone who has left a reflestion on Brian's page. It means so much to me to know that he isn't forgotten.

I love and miss you forever,
