Reflections for Sergeant Jonathan Paul Dragus

I wish it could get easier but is doesn't. Our hearts are still heavy from the lack of your beautiful face and silly jokes. There isn't a day that goes by that Dad and I don't talk about you. Sometimes, on most days, we cry a little less, Then there are those other days, we talk and the tears just start to flow. We are many times embarrassed because We are sure most people expect us to be over your death by now. WE WILL NEVER BE OVER YOUR DEATH. We would give anything for one more day of you in our lives. We would fill that day with family gathered around the table, good food, lots of jokes and kidding. Our hearts are still broken.

This week, I pinned the badge on my daughter as she graduated from OCPD Recruit Class #130. Three nights before, I attended the retirement party at Hefner station for Tyrone Reece, one of Jon's co-workers from way back when I used to supervise those clowns. It was so good to see and talk to you Kelly. Being there and being around so many of the old crew brought back a lot of good memories working with Jon. It also reminded me of how much I miss him. Now as a new member of my family takes her place in law enforcement, it makes me realize how much time has passed since he left us, even though when I see you and your son, and joke with all the guys as we share stories, it seems like only yesterday we were all together.
Good luck with your retirement and your new life. We're all glad you and Jon were a part of ours. We'll never forget the two of you.

Jonathan - You are still remembered every day!! We are coming up on Memorial Week where we will honor all of our fallen officers but for some of us you are all remembered and honored every day.

There are still no words to describe the pain and loss we feel knowing you are not here with us physically. But we know you are watching over all of our blue family!

Today is going to suck...later this afternoon, I will be sitting in the same church where your funeral took place exactly 7 years and 2 days ago to honor another one of our own. These past couple of weeks have been tougher than usual, as the recent death in our police family has brought back so many emotions. I haven't quite figured out how I'm gonna make it through the service, but I did wear my waterproof mascara today. =) I'm am forever grateful for the friends and family I have who have continued to be there and support me throughout these past 7 years. I don't know how I'd do it without them!

I wish time truly did make it easier to go on without you, but unfortunately it doesn't. Things are just different now. I somehow figure out how to continue moving forward with my life even though it's hard. I'd give anything to have had the life we planned together.

I can't believe 7 years has gone by. I miss you more than words.

Every year I start out with the same thing - not believing the amount of time that has gone by - and yes - again - I can't believe it's been 7 years. Living in Minnesota, I didn't get to spend a lot of time with you and Kelly but will never forget visitng you guys in June when Kaden was only a month old. I also know it's a given, but continue to watch over Kelly, Kaden and Ashlyn. I can't begin to know how much they miss you.

I can't believe it's been 7 years. I drive past the tree your car hit almost on a daily basis. I tear up everytime I see it. Thank you for watching over our boys down here. I'm thankful my husband ends his shift and comes home every day. I know that has something to do with our loved ones upstairs. We miss you Dragus.

It is hard to believe it has been 7 yrs my friend. I'm sure you are with our God The Father in Heaven and we want you to know we have not forgotten you. You are still in our thoughts and prayers. To the Dragus family, you too are in our prayers.
With love, Kevin, Terri, Lauren and Trey Tucker

It's been 7 long years, my friend, and not a day goes by that I don't think about you. You remain with me both day and night, keeping me safe, keeping me in line. I occassionally have a laugh at you making fun of me and my pain, but it was all in fun, I know. Keep a watch over us Jonathan, as we continue to keep watch over Kelly & Kaden.

We love you and miss you.

Can't believe it's seven years. I'm sure you enjoy watching over Kaden. He's such a chip off the old block. Kelly is doing such a fabulous job with him but still misses you terribly. It hurts my heart to watch them without you. You left us empty inside. Please continue to watch over Kaden and Kelly. Help her to know she can go on with the Lord's help.

Love and miss you...still.

Hey Jonathan, It is so hard to believe it has been so many years since you was taken. I remember that smile you always had and the excitement in your eye as you would talk to me about the job. Thank You for everything. My prayers go out to your family and I pray they are well. You will always be remembered my friend. Until we meet again......

I have the honor of riding in the Police Unity Tour this year, 2012, from NYC to Washington DC for Officer Jonathan Dragus. I read his story and thought about how many of my brothers and sisters, including me have had such close calls like this incident. His story has touched my heart and I am proud to ride in his honor.
I was fortunate to have been able to speak with Kelly and was at a loss of words to hear how grateful and touched she was to know that I would be riding in his name to keep his memory alive. We ride for those who died. Our fallen brothers and sisters are never forgotten and we will always keep his memory alive.

I had the honor of meeting your mother during a traffic stop while I was on duty today. However brief this encounter may have been it was easy to tell just how much she loves and misses you.
Reading the reflections left by family, friends, and colleagues I hope that that I am able to make an impact on peoples lives like you did. Although we never met I will always remember you.
Rest in Peace brother.
