Reflections for Police Officer Aubrey Wright Hawkins

Aubrey, you and Lori meant alot to our family. I will never forget the fatal night. I was taken back when my dad told me what happened and to you I dedicate my service for good. I will never forget you and will always keep you in my prayers. We all know God will have his justice done for his will be done. You are a fallen angel and we will never forget.

A thousand ninety-five days have come and gone and you have been remembered each of those days. Although your loss was senseless beyond description, your inspiration of courage, honor and duty has lightened the way for those of us left here to carry on the task. Thank you for your service to country and community and a Holiday wish to your family, friends and partners who miss you the most.

To everyone who knew or loved Officer Hawkins, my prayers are with you tonight, this December 24, 2003. Three years ago tonight, a man of will and strength gave his life for something very few can understand. May the lord watch over every officer tonight as they go about doing what Officer Hawkins was doing on that tragic night. To his wife and son, know that all are praying that yall will have a safe and Merry Christmas. We haven't, nor will we ever, forget.

To the family of Aubrey Hawkins:



I watched with horror the television report of Officer Hawkins' murder. At that time, I was not in Law Enforcement, merely one human being unable to understand how another human being could be so cruel as to murder a fellow human being.
Now that I am in Law Enforcement, I understand much clearer the great sacrifice that Officer Hawkins made for his city, his state, and his country.


My prayers are with you and your children. May God sustain you and may the many happy memories you have of your husband,father and son bring a smile for every tear you shed. I will never forget him, although I did not know him personally. His sacrifice was not in vain! God Bless You!

Dear Lori,


I am so sorry for your loss. My husband is a deputy in Colorado, and being part of the law enforcement community, I feel deeply saddened for you. I want you to know that there are so many of us out here that are thinking of you and your son and praying for you everyday. We will never forget your husband and all the other officers that have given the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe. He will never be forgotten. God Bless you and your son.

Aubrey,

It's been two and half years since you were taken from us all. As I have reflected upon the time that you have been gone, I remember the good times that we have shared together. There is not a single day that goes by that you are not on my mind. I remember all the hours we spent together in a squad car, answering calls, etc. The ten years that I knew you was not enough. We were partners, best men at our weddings, but most of all we were friends... You touched each of us with your special warmth and unique personality. Because of you, I am a better person, police officer and husband to my wife.
I will always keep you close to my heart. I will always wear my bracelet as a reminder.... I will do my best to keep your memory alive.

Rest in Peace my brother, I miss you!

There are no words that come to me now but that the fires of hell WILL avenge this fine officer's death. God bless the family of this fine officer and peace be with you always.

Not a day goes by the you are not thought of with loving hearts. I work in the training dept. of TDCJ-ID, and the video of the "Texas 7" is shown in every class to remind all our staff the importance of doing their job, and what can happen if the offenders escape custody. Words can not express the heartache I feel everyday, at the loss the Hawkins family has experienced. You are each one in my prayers, and I wish you well. God Bless You.

to the Hawkins Family,

it has been over 2 years now since your beloved Aubrey has been taken. i did not know him but at the time i had heard about it from a friend of mine who is an oregon state police trooper. i started in the fire department when i was 14 and have seen officers lives taken. before i got into this, i had no clue how much it hurt. now i have seen 3 brother officers taken from this life, 6 Firefighters, adn numerous friends and loved ones. but Aubrey is in a better place now, looking upon you and your family, i understand you have a daughter, and i know he is looking over you. Sgt. James Rector of OSP was killed in a car accident here in OR in 97. Scott Lyons also in the same accident...... i think of them every day i take a breath. But, Lori, and family, just remember this. Aubrey Hawkins is not forever GONE, he is picking your spot beside him and waiting to once again.......say HELLO.....Rest In Peace Officer Hawkins. You Have Completed Your Shift And Duty...

Ofc. Hawkins,

It is Christmas Eve, 2002. It has been two years since the tragic night. I still to this day get chills if I think about what happened.

I just want you to know that you have not been forgotten. I spoke of you the other night, and prepared myself for anything that may happen at work.

It can happen anytime, anyplace or to any agency.

I hope that you are looking over all of us in blue!

To the Hawkins family, I hope you holidays were as good as they could possibly be, during such a tragic time of year.

I just wanted the family to know that Officer Hawkins was a friend of mine when I was worked with him in Kaufman. I think about him daily and I'm very sorry for your loss. If you need anything just call the police department and leave me a message. God bless your family. Jeff Mcgee...

Its been a long time since that day on the tracks. Aubrey, I remember.

Sgt. Jon Hooper

My condolences to the Hawkins family during this time. Rest assured that Ofc. Aubrey Hawkins did not die in vain. I, as well as other officers think about him when we are on patrol. We remember that night and as a result we're just a little more careful. Aubrey has saved many lives in giving up his own. We will always be in debt to him. Until we meet again. God rest his soul.

It's nearing two-years now since that fateful day. A day I'll NEVER forget.....

I miss the occasional phone calls, the pages, the emails and your willingness to give some insightful advice about some case or situation I would be working on.

You are STILL thought of very often.....you are missed.....RIP Aubrey.

Aubrey, not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I miss seeing your sweet smile and kindness everytime you came into Communications. May the Lord watch over your wife, son and family. You are truly an Angel watching over your loved ones.
