Officer McCoy-First and foremost, I pray for peace and understanding for your family. Your daughter should be proud of her father-a hero. Thank you for 18 years of service to the profession that we love so much. You make me wear my uniform proudly everyday. You will be remembered for how you lived, not how you died. Rest in peace my brother, we have your work from here.

There is nothing that one can say that is adequate to express the feelings of sadness at a time like this. However, it is very obvious by the remarks and comments left by those who knew this man personally that Officer Jeff McCoy was a servant of our Lord and Savior. What more can one live for? That is reason to rejoice.
I would like for the family, friends and co-workers to know that there are folks all across this country that care very deeply and will lift you up in prayer before the Almighty in the coming days. May you each experience the peace, love, joy and comfort that only Christ can give. God's blessings to each of you.

On the morning of June 5, 2007 the forces of evil claimed yet another person who had dedicated his life to this profession. Every person who wears, or has worn a badge, knows and understands the feeling of loss when a fellow officer is called home. We honor those who have fallen by continuing to do the job we are sworn to do, and in the end, good will triumph. The sacrifices made by those brave men and women in the past, and even those who will undoubtedly follow in the future, will not have died in vain. Rest in peace Jeff.

Texas peace officers wear many different types of badges. Some are stars, some are shields, and others are round. The one factor that makes us all the same and truly a family is our sincere devotion to duty. It has been a tough year for our Texas peace officer family, but we will carry on. Thank you for your service Jeff. Your hard work and dedication to the citizens of Abilene will never be forgotten. Rest in peace brother.

Thoughts and prayers sent from our family to yours Officer McCoy. When I saw the date of your untimely passing, memories of our horrific loss came pouring over me. There are no words to lessen this pain your loved ones bear, but perhaps knowing that they are not alone in their grief will guide them through the next few days. Thank you for choosing to serve and protect. "Living the dream" as my "guys" say, so that we can rest knowing we will be safe from harm. Thank God for Peace Officers.

Mrs McCoy,
In time you will read these reflections, it is my hope that some make you smile when you see a side of Jeff that didnt always present itself at home. He will continue to watch over you. He will give angels kisses to your beautiful baby girl....if only in her dreams.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. May God Bless your loved ones, both your immediate family and your police family.

Jeff will be sorely missed by all who knew him. He was a very strong man and was extremely passionate about his faith in the Lord. I had the honor of working with Jeff on many different occasions, with the most memorable being that he was my FTO in the second phase of field training. The last time I worked with Jeff was on May 29th 2007. We spent a great deal of time talking that night about various things, but the most common topic in all of our recent conversations including that night was his faith. He was un-ashamed of this, and I will always cherish the conversations that we had. I learned many lessons for life both on and off duty from him, and they will never be forgotten.

Jeff, I have laughed while I cried thinking about the time I spent with you watching over me. I know that you were with me in the patrol car once again early this morning. You will never be forgotten Brother.

Jeff, you were a loving father and husband and spoke of how much you loved your family. You were a dedicated Officer and took extra time to let the citizens of Abilene know you cared and were wanting to help them with the problems at hand. You were a good friend who was willing to help with whatever I needed help with, weather it was at work or helping me with building a porch on my house. You never expected anything in return. You touched many lives and we are all better people for it. Brother I promise you if your family needs anything myself, my family, and our APD family will be there!! Rest in Peace my friend I will see you again. Go be with God, You will be missed.

To the family, friends, and officers that knew Officer McCoy, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you face the trying times ahead of you. Please know your not alone.

Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way
I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closest
