Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Jason Patrick Lopez

Hi my love, its been a while since I've come on here and said some words. I think of you often and so wish you were here. Our boys are growing up so fast and I see you more and more in them each day. As you know they are growing and following their dreams it's hard to think you aren't here physically. I still feel your presence but I do wish our boys had the chance to know you more. I continue to pray for your guidance and even though it's been extremely hard I try my best to keep pushing forward. I will continue to push forward and pray for your guidance daily....I loved you then, now and always ❤ Corina

It was a Friday, just an ordinary Friday like many others, until about 1900 hours, then the tones went off for the Fire Department, Oh Crap This one is bad the tones sounded twice Then the call

OFFICER DOWN

As a member of both the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office and the Arizona City Fire District I responded to the station and then drove the ambulance to the call.

I will never forget pulling up and seeing your car there, and the blood on it and you laying in the street. I did everything that I had been trained as an EMT to do, and never before have I worked so hard on a patient. I remember the Southwest Ambulance crew that showed up – Friends of mine and I know that they worked as hard as they could. I remember Angelique’s voice on the radio when I told her to have Airevac hurry up. (I didn’t use my sheriff’s office call on the radio when I was on a call with ACFD – I did that night).

I remember refusing to accept the doctors call and telling Rick that we were not giving up!

I remember Sheriff Vanderpool kneeling in prayer at the scene and Sgt. Degone stopping me from taking a shotgun from a cruiser and going to where the hostage situation was unfolding and then asking me to tape off the crime scene.

I remember all of these things and many more from that night. I still can see the scene, I still hear the call, though not as often any more.

What I also remember are the good times I had working with you and the joking around, the responding to calls together.

20 years ago today we lost you, and Heaven gained an angel.

Walk the streets of Heaven Jason, you have done your time in hell.

In Continual Memory Of

20years, I remember thinking how am I going to get through the next 24hours without you. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you. I look at our boys and see you everyday. I so wish you were here and they could have known you more. So much missed, so many memories that could've of been. I still don't understand why and after 20years I don't think I ever will.....I promise you, you will never be forgotten and you will forever live on in my heart and in your boys. I love you then, now and always. Corina

It’s been 18 years J, but still seems like just yesterday. I remember having you ride with me as a rookie Deputy and how proud your dad was. Always remember that unique “three flowers” smell bro, and the story you told about Corina hating to clean the tub after you. Never forgotten J.

17 years. Gone, but brother you are never forgotten. The memory of your fat cheeks with your mischievous smile still haunts me and I wouldn't want it any other way. Missing you, but grateful for the blessing of your wife and boys that you left behind. We know you are still with us, especially in the milestone moments. XOXO

Today we remember Deputy Jason Patrick Lopez, and additionally those who were left alone by his death. After reading some of the reflections, I can tell he was much loved.

Although it has been 17 years, the pain of his loss is certainly still felt by those who were close to him. As one person stated, you can't unlive history, but thankfully time diminishes the pain somewhat. We are indebted to Deputy Lopez for standing tall in the Thin Blue Line.

I frequently appear in Superior Court in Pinal County, Arizona. I try to keep in mind as I approach the Courthouse from the parking lot that the road I'm crossing is named for a hero who died serving and protecting the public.

I was booking a suspect in the Pinal County Jail last night outside of my normal district. Having never been in the area before, I noticed that the street name for the Pinal County buildings was Jason Lopez Circle. I asked the detention deputies who Jason Lopez was and they explained to me that he was a great man who was killed serving a warrant. That brought me to this page tonight to read of this officer that paid the ultimate sacrifice to keep the peace. Thank you.

Every year around this time, I reflect on those I've met who have given the ultimate sacrifice. You, Jason among them. Thank you for your service.

“Whoever does not have the stomach for this fight, let him depart. Give him money to speed his departure, since we wish not to die in that man’s company ...for whoever has shed his blood with me shall be my brother. And those men afraid to go will think themselves lesser men as they hear of how we fought and died together.”- William Shakespeare, Henry V
