Well, Rome. It's been a while now and I'm still like Swanny and Herrera when it comes to thinking about you.

I was in the police academy and never had the opportunity to meet you, yet I still remember exactly where I was when I found out about the accident that so abruptly took your life. I remember the sadness I felt without ever even meeting you.

I had no idea at that time that the man that would become my husband, Sgt. Jonathan Dragus, would be the next name added just underneath yours on the Oklahoma City Police Memorial.

It's ironic the similarity of the circumstances of both of your deaths being in pursuits and at nearly the same time of the morning.

May God watch over and keep safe all of our brothers and sisters in blue and grey. You and Jonathan will never be forgotten.

Jeff, you were the sorta guy that we all looked to for leadership in the academy. A man that had a firm grasp of what was being asked of him and knew the true definition of the word "DUTY". I was always in awe of you because not only had you survived a long career in the Navy but you were performing even better than all us young bucks in every way. You will forever be a drive for me to do what is right and I will use you as an example when my son asks what "honor" means. See ya Chief

Jeff and I both worked third shift although in different divisions. Sometimes I would see him on calls and sometimes I would see him at dinner at the Round Up restaurant. Every time I saw Jeff he always had a big grin on his face and he was always telling a funny story. This is how I always remember him. God bless you and your family Jeff. You are truly a hero and we will miss you.

Your mom told me that the angels did not know what they were in for when they took the two of you at the same time. I know you and Matt are watching over us all right now. I will take care of your mom until we meet again. Please tell Matt I love him, miss him and that I'll be home after while.

All my love,

Jeff was a wonderful person. It was always the highlight of our night when he would come to the jail.  He always had a smile on his face and always stopped to find out how our night was going.  He loved sharing his expertise and experience with us.  He will be greatly missed by all who knew him and will live forever in our hearts.  Our only consolation is that he is in a better place now and that he gave his life doing what he loved the most. Thank you Jeff.

Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for a friend

At the time of this accident I was a Senior Airman assigned to the 72nd Security Forces Unit Tinker AFB, OK. On the day of the funeral for Officer Rominger I was assigned to shut down traffic at the Sooner Gate for the funeral prossession. I did not know the fallen hero, but the site of all of those squads with ribbons tied around them still brought a tear to my eye. God Bless our fallen hero, and God Bless his family.

Jeff, I will never forget seeing your face in passing as you left the Jail that night. You were leaving as I was dropping an arrest off, not two hours before your accident. It will always be a reminder to me of how short life is, and to always hug my family when I walk out the door. Rest easy in the arms of the Lord brother.
