Hi Brian, I was with your parents and your wife today. They were at the court house to have the trial of the man that murdered you. Your family looked good. Your mom told me she knew you were right there with them. I hope you have met my son Hal Baird. He was killed in 2000. Your dad gave us one of the coins they had made in your memory. It is beautiful. Your wife is so sweet. This trial is very hard on your family so stay with them every step of the way. I had tears when they showed your clothes and your vest. The trial is going to last several more days. I will be praying for your family and friends. They all loved you very much.
Your mom and dad's friend, Sharon Dickerson

Brian, or "Jackson" as called him, was one of my best friends in high school. There were three of us who did everything together while our parents were stationed in Charleston. As sometimes happens, we all lost touch and didn't see each other after we moved away. It wasn't until much later did I find out what happened to my good friend. The times we had on that naval base are some of my favorite memories. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family. As all who met him know, he was a great person.

Please watch over the URI Police Officer's as they put their life's on the line everyday without the proper protection given to them. Please watch over the URI EMS crew as they professionally continue to serve the University of Rhode Island and surrounding communities. Thank you.

Brian,
I did not have the pleasure of knowing you, but I met your Mom and Dad at the C.O.P.S Parent's Retreat last summer. Your mother is a lovely person and I felt a special connection to her. I think of your parents often and pray that they are finding some peace. We are leaving for Washington in a couple of days to honor you and all the fallen officers. You will never be forgotten.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Officer Jackson, but I used his story, among a few others, in a presentation in my public speaking class in fall 2005, my first semester of college. The assignment was a speech in honor or memory of another person or group, and because my father, Deputy Lee W. Russ, EOW 10/29/00 was killed in the line of duty, I did mine honoring our fallen law enforcement officers. I chose Officer Jackson's story because he showed tremendous bravery and serves as a tragic reminder of the everyday risks our officers face. My thoughts are prayers are with his family- God bless.

Dear Brian,
I only knew you from a few conversations we had while waiting for court and that you were in the academy class ahead of me, but I think of you every day. You are missed but always remembered.

I will remember you in my heart
November 13,2005 was the day my life fell apart
I’ve always wondered why it had to be you
And it just doesn’t make since to me
Why your life had to end so soon
You were like an older brother that I never had
And sometimes I thought of you as even a Dad
Your heroism shows each and everyday
I couldn’t be more proud to say
That you are my angel who holds up my wings
And let’s me have safe and happy dreams
I think about you all the time
And I cant tell you how much you are missed
7980 is my HERO!

With all my heart and soul,

Officer Jackson,

It has been over a year since your funeral. I attended your funeral along with all of the other fine officers across the metroplex and the nation. It was awesome. I remember working all night before your funeral and going that morning to your funeral. I was tired because by the time the funeral ended, it seemed like i was already back on shift here in Denton. I think i got about 3 hours of sleep that day. Well, that night someone tried to kill me. I won, and his life was taken. I know you were there watching me. I will never forget that day. May god bless you and your family throughout the holidays. We will never forget you,

R.I.P. Brother,

They always say everything is BIGGER in Texas, well Brian's heart was bigger than the shield on his chest that he put on before every shift with pride. You will always be in the hearts of all those that you came into contact on and off the job. Thank you.

Brian was a very close friend of mine.I will always remeber his wonderful smile and his contagious laughter. He was nothing but caring and unselfish. He taught me to take the world on, head on and I will miss him always. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. I will always have a special place in my heart for him.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there... I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow...
I am the diamond glints on snow...
I am the sunlight on ripened grain...
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you waken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of gentle birds in circling flight...
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry—
I am not there... I did not die...
