My heart and prayers are with his family, friends, loved ones and fellow officers. James is now Guarding the Streets of Heaven. As it is sung in the Marines Hymn "The streets are guarded by United States Marines" and I believe cops serve there as well. This world is lessened with the loss of good men like James. Semper Fi Sir.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, 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 tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got 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 an unmanly tear.
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 often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"

I had the pleasure of meeting D/S Anderson over the Christmas holidays when he came down to Central Florida with his family. He came up to me while I was working a detail and he introduced himself as a Deputy. We then realized that we after talking for a few minutes that we served together in the Marine Corps and we knew many of the same people. We talked for over twenty minutes while his family shopped. He said "look me up if you ever come up my way, they call me Anderson". For the few minutes I had the pleasure to talk to him I felt the love he had for his family, for being a deputy, and a former Marine.

James rest in peace...

Deputy Anderson as you were known on your beat in Ponte Vedra Beach Fl. I met you only a couple of short months before I retired. You talked and joked around with me when ever you saw me in my security vehicle on property at the hotel resort. You will be missed. Now you can rest in peace.

Although I am not an officer, I am one of the one's who James protected. I first met James in 03/09. He and his squad would always meet at the conveinence store before going on duty. I would always run into him there. The first time I met him I'll never forget. I went into the store and I come out and him and 2 others were checking out my Jeep. I'm thinking, "Great, here comes an illegal tint ticket or something." He just wanted to check it out and give me props. That was always our point of conversation. So what else have you done to it, he'd always ask. He gave me his card and said if I ever needed anything to call him. We've had to call 911 a few times for my father. The last time we did, he wasn't on duty yet but heard the call and came over to check anyway. He was that nice of a guy. He'd give me a BIG hug before he'd leave and tell me to keep my head up. That's what I'm going to do for you James.... keep my head up. I have cried many times since hearing the news about you friend. I will miss the text messages, the jabs about my Gators and Teebow, your smile, you in general. I will miss seeing you ride by my house late nights with your side lights on watching our houses for us. The MSD of PVB will NOT be the same without you. Pulling into the Gate Station and you not being there around 10pm. won't be the same either. I can't imagine what your Sqaud and family are going through. To your family... this is just a flat our tragedy. That's all that can be said. Mrs. Anderson, take the comfort of knowing that all of us here in the MSD of PVB are hurting as well. We grieve along with you and pray for your healing. To his other family..... his squad, I know you're hurting and I pray for all of you. You guys lost one funny guy. You guys lost a brother. You can find someone to take his place for work, but never find someone to take his place. Thank you for all you guys do for us here. I have a feeling you're not told enough. Take care and see you guys at the Gate and on the streets.....
