To the family of Officer Brian Jackson, There is no way to define the amount of hurt you must be feeling. The one true way to get through this tough time is to turn to our Lord and Saviour. He and He alone has called Officer Jackson up to Heaven were there's no more crime, no more criminals to deal with; just peace of mind of being in a perfect place. All of your answers will come from the Bible, it's always there for help. Rest in Peace Brother.

God bless my family when I am away,
Leave the lights on I'll return from harms way,

Grant me courage and strength to protect others each day,
So they live in peace without worry, fear or dismay,

Bless those who have fallen given their life for another
May their spirit live on from then and forever,

Return me home to my family at the end of each night,
May I pass through the door before the morning's first light,

Shall I give my life for another before the dawn breaks today,
God bless my family when I am away.

To the family of Officer Brian Jackson. I am so very sorry for your loss and I grieve with you. Tho I never met Brian personally, it is evident in the many heartfelt messages left on this site that he was not only a good family man of the higest morals but a much loved man of great carachter and an exemplary officer. As a citizen of the city of Dallas, I want you to know that I appreciate all that your husband/son/brother/father did to make life better for me. I pray that your tears be brief and the pain of your loss soon turn into the magic of your memories.

With heavy heart,

I come to this website every day. It is my way to pay respect and learn a little about these officers who gave their life for us. I must say when I first saw this officer's name my heart fell. Officer Brian Jackson is my dear neighbor's grandson. He is a police officer here in Ohio. It makes it all the more real. Bless Officer Jackson's Family and Friends. May you find some comfort in knowing that he will always be remembered for the hero he is.

On November 13th 2005, The Lord was given a message from an angel. In the message this small angel spoke quietly in His presence, saying "Father, I have brought you great news once again" and God spoke with a big powerful voice and said with a loving smile, "I already know, we have inherited another battle warrior and his name is Brian Jackson. He has served Me and his fellow man well, I am eternally grateful for the job he has done, for in it he was able to glorify my name and presence, while giving unselfishly to those he served. I have promoted Brian Jackson to My Plane in Heaven, and from this day forward, he will live in Peace, he will never feel Fear, Nor Cry Again. This I say And It Shall Be Forever. Now send the others forward to Open Their Wings and Open The Gates, I want to hear them singing with Joy, "Welcome Home Officer Brian Jackson, You Have Served Him Well, Here You Will See All Around You, Those In Blue, Who Went Before You, and They Now Welcome You Too" God then spoke to another angel saying "I want you to send a troop down to those who grieve their loss, and feel fear, I want the angel wings around those Children, That Family, and Every Comrade he served with, for they shall blot away the tears and numb the time awhile, although they will be sad to know he is gone to them, they will surely be joyful to know, That Today he Reigns In Heaven With Me and My Promise to them is This, his death on Earth is not forever, it is but a tick in time, you are promised by Me as it is Written, the next time you see Brian, it will be in Heaven, where time, tears and fears are never again, no more" "The next time will not be but a short tick in time, rather as I Have Always Promised, Forever, Eternal." "Till then, march on and know I am there with you this day, as yesterday, and will be till time is no-more"

You will be missed brother.

Brian,
You have lived your life serving the public. When you were a High School student in Rhode Island, you volunteered as an EMT and gave of yourself in ways that most of your peers could not fathom. I was not surprised to hear, years later, that you had become a Police Officer to protect the very same public that you worked so tirelessly to save in the back of your ambulance. Rest Brian, your time of service has now concluded. Your brothers and sisters will carry out your legacy, helping those who can not help themselves and protecting the public from those who would do them. harm.

My heart breaks for Joanne and Officer Jackson's family, friends, and coworkers. May the Lord send his angels down to comfort you during this tragic time. My deepest sympathy to everyone who was lucky to have known this wonderful man. May the Lord give you strength and bless each of you.

My spouse is an officer in North Texas, and I make sure to hold him a little longer and tighter everyday. I am saddened that you will never be able to hold Brian close again. It brings tears to my eyes to think of the pain you are feeling that he was taken from you. It saddens and angers me.

"Last Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The Policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a Saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
when the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
but if you don't...I'll understand
There was silence all around the throne
Where the Saints had often trod
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

Officer Jackson, may you rest in peace.

For Officer Jackson's family, friends, and colleagues on the street, our sincere condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Officer Jackson has reminded us of what we push to the back of our minds every day: That we never know when our last watch may be. Let your loved ones know that they ARE LOVED. Then do your best to come home to them each and every day, and make sure they know that if you don't you will continue on a patrol of eternal vigilance, doing the job you so loved--but never more than them.

Lets be careful out there.
