Reflections for Patrolman Jeremy T. Charron
Jeremy Charron is a hero who will always be remembered for his loyalty and sacrifice to New Hampshire and his country.
He was a proud and loving man who would do anything for anybody.
I know Jeremy's father well, and I remember playing football once or twice with Jeremy and his dad many years ago when we played those "Turkey Bowl" games in Hillsboro.
Jeremy made his family proud.
May his light continue to shine for all those who follow.

As the days go on know that you will not be forgotten...both you and Briggs will always be remembered for your courage, honor, and commitment.
We have a tradition in the Corps to turn an empty glass, for honor and remembrance of our brothers past... I just turned my second for you and Briggs. Semper Fidelis Brothers.

Jeremy,
You are not forgotten, and tonight NH mourns another loss of an officer who worked in the Epsom PD, and one was a pall bearer for you. I have to figure you knew him, as a fellow young officer and former Marine, and that you're there to greet him in his transition today. keep giving both your and his friends and family the strength to get through these difficult times.

As I watch the news today, I have learned that another fellow officer has fallen just as you did. I can't help but feel the pain and sorrow that I felt on August 24th, 1997. Everyday I miss you more and more and hope that will always watch over me. Missing you...

I worked with Jeremy when I was a bail commissioner & clerking courtrooms. I often think of the young man so eager to serve. Jeremy, you were an amazing person. Your honesty was refreshing. Your strength inspiring. You earned your wings in every moment of life. Spread them and watch over us. For all eternity may God guide you in the palm of his hand.

At the Washington Memorial I saw your name engraved in stone. On the wall with other heroes you are not alone. I etched your name and relived the pain that will be forever in my soul. May god keep you in his hands my friend and may you Rest in Peace.

Today marks the 9th anniversary of your murder. Most of us remember that whole event and the tragic events that occurred previously. It was a very sad few weeks for the Granite State.
I pray that the filth responsible are still in prison. Then again, it's New Hampshire, I have no doubt they will NEVER leave, nor should they.
God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.

I salute you not only for your dedicated service to law enforcement but also to your country. You have not been forgotten nor will that ever be the case as your loved ones will carry on your memory as will your close friends in the Blue Family. Keep watch over your loved ones and those still out on patrol protecting the Thin Blue Line.
You are a true hero and heroes never die.

I served with Charron in the U.S. Marine Corps and feel honored to have done so. A fine man who was taken from us too soon. I will never forget the day I learned of his death. His friends will never forget him. Semper Fi brother!

I'll never forget this incident and how it impacted all of us. Jeremy's uncle was our chief at the time. I remember when Jeremy returned from the Marine Corps and joined us at our chief's house for the annual picnic. He was so motivated and sincere- a solid candidate for police work. To this date I still think about it.

Brother Charron,
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue

Jeremy,
A recruit at the 138th NH Police Academy was chosen last week as a recipient of your award. I couldn't help but think if any of the class members could have possibly led this group as well as you led yours. I came to the conclusion that I doubted that they could.
Please know that you are truly missed and thought of on a daily basis. Until we meet...
Respecfully,

Jeremy,
I think about you often brother even though I never even knew you. while I was in the academy I looked at your classes plaque often, and now mine hangs just down the wall from yours. I'll never forget the day I heard the news, even though I was only 14 years old. Watch over us brother, and god bless.

You graduated from PSTC shortly after I did. I recall going there for continuing ed and seeing your class picture on the wall, just a few down from mine. It just didn't seem real or fair that someone so damned new should be taken.
I left law enforcement for a number of years but have recently returned. I'm starting FTO in a new department in a couple of days, many, many miles away from where I cut my teeth in beautiful state of NH.
Not really sure what compelled me to add this reflection other than to say God Bless and, if you can help a brother out, please keep an eye on me until I get my "sea legs" back. It's been a while, man, and I ain't as young as I used to be.
Thank you, Officer Charron.

Jeremy: A few years ago I had the honor to sit with your parents at a police function. In talking with them I learned a lot about the kind of person you were. I remember how proud your Father was when he spoke about you and the smile on your Mother's face when your name was spoken....It was obvious to me, after talking with your parents, that we lost a good man that day God took you.
