Officer Down Memorial Page

Calvin I hope you are driving one of Gods new chariots while on patrol up there. I will never forget the feeling of disbelief of your demise when I attended your funeral. We had only met a short time before. Keep the Highway of Heaven safe as you did down here.

Trooper Jenks,

Was thinking of you today. You are heavy on mine and my dad's (Ret. Capt. Thomas Smith) minds. I still remember the phone call from my dad like it was a few minutes ago. I thank you for your dedication to keeping the roads safe for us. I had planned so many nice, thoughtful, and kind words for this reflection, but they seem to fail me now. I will be attending your Sea of Blue memorial later this evening. Its truly touching and moving to see all the support and care people have for you. I guess all there si left to say is, thank you Trooper Calvin.

You will NEVER be forgotten.

Calvin, round three in federal court yesterday. Garcia stands before a federal judge-different rules. December 10, 2010 he will meet the final decision. We hope he never hits the streets again. You will always be in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.
Love always, YLF

My Dearest Family and Friends

Somethings I'd like to say but first of all to let you know that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from Heaven where I dwell with Our Lord above. where there's no more tears or sadness just eternal Love. Please don't be unhappy because I'm out of sight, remember that I'm with you every morning,noon and Night.

The Day I had to leave you when my Life on earth was through God picked me up and hugged me and He said I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, You were missed while you were gone. As for your Dearest Family they'll be here later on.
I need you here so badly as part of my big plan. There's so much we have to do to help our Moral Man.
Then God gave me a list of things that He wished for me to do, and foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you.
I'll be beside you everyday and through out the years, And when your sad. I'm standing there to wipe away your tears.
When You lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight God and I are close you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on Earth and all the loving years, because your only human they are bound to bring you tears.

Please don't be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned, But if I were to tell you You wouldn't understand.One thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is over I'm closer to you now than I ever was before.

To My many Friends, Trust God knows what is best.I'm still not far away from you I'm just beyond the crest.

So, If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain, then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented that with my life. it was worth while,Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
If you meet somebody who is down and feeling low just lend a hand and pick him up as on your way you go.
When Your walking down the street and you've got me on your mind just know I'm walking in your footstep only a half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentle breeze or wind upon your face that's me just giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace.
I will always love you from the land way up above We'll be in touch again soon
PS God sends his Love.

Miss you today just like all the days that have passes since you were taken from this earth. I will always keep you in my prayers and one day will rejoice in seeing you again in heaven. I smile allot when I think of all the good times we had when you were here, it helps to celebrate the good and not dwell on your absence. Again, we love you and miss you but have comfort knowing you are looking down on us each and every day. God bless

Your heroism and service is honored today, the second 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

I am sorry that you, your family, and the THP did not get the full measure of justice that was merited.

Rest In Peace

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to share with another of your ultimate sacrifice & got teary eyed doing so. Watch over your family Calvin...I know the holidays are still very hard for them without you! Rest In Peace.

Calvin-

It's been a while since I've visited your page. I think about you often, it's just hard coming back here. I can't believe it's been over 2 years since you were taken from us. The emotions and wounds are still so raw. Watch over everyone down here. We really need you! RIP
