View all 207 ReflectionsJerry and I met while on duty and quickly formed a friendship. We backed each other on traffic stops even though we didn’t work for the same department. Little Elm and Frisco shared a boundary, which was a busy road common for drug smugglers. I retired two years before his death and was devastated when I heard the news.
I still wear a wrist band for Jerry to this day and remember him. Always praying for his family and children. He was a family man.
