Reflections for Patrolman Allen William Gibson, Jr.

You are not forgotten, brother. Rest easy—we will do everything in our power to ensure those who took you from your family are held accountable. Your memory lives on! Keep watching over us.

I am so terribly sorry that your time serving your community was cut so short. You selflessly put yourself between good and evil, and answered a call to heaven. Your family will be looked after by the blue brothers and sisters.

I hate (a word I rarely use) to say that you are a victim yet again. The mindless leader of the free world, President Biden, has granted clemency to your murderers. My blue blood boils as I weep for you and your family of blood and blue.

My husband and I emailed our NO PARDON letters this morning, on behalf of HERO Officer Allen William Gibson Jr. I am disgusted by the fact that it is even possible for ANY cop killer to request a pardon!

To the family, friends and all who loved Officer Gibson: You have so much support right now from your LE family across this country. I am very sorry that you have to endure this injustice yet again.

To HERO Officer Gibson: Your service and sacrifice are greatly appreciated. You are NEVER forgotten.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Rest easy brother. I didn't know you, but you are one of many officers I've met, simply from their stories I've learned here.

Of them, a few frequently are on my mind each shift. One of those officers is you. Thank you for your time and service. Thank you to the family that keeps your memory alive. I read the reflections here often.

To the family of Officer Gibson, know that his memory and service lives on beyond those that knew him to this day, and, in a small part, in a small way, he still is out on patrol, protecting and serving those in the community.

Went to church last night and they preached on Heaven and what a wonderful place it was. So I won’t be crying for you today. Nope, for the first time in 26 years, I'm going to smile today. Smile because you lived and now you are enjoying your new home up there in paradise. I’ve had a ton of counseling this past year and they have helped me find some peace with your death. Some. Will I ever be the same? Absolutely not. But I am learning to let go of some of my anger and pain. Some. And maybe even learn to forgive those who destroyed my life all those years ago. maybe. It’s a process and I’m trying. God how I’m trying. Anyway enjoy Heaven today and I will try to make you proud. Love you 404

Happy birthday, Babe. I hope Heaven is treating you well because I’m missing you like crazy. I took the day off work and I’m gonna celebrate you on your special day AND Star Wars Day! I wish I could go back in time to that last birthday again. We went to our favorite Mexican restaurant because you said it would double as a Cinco De Mayo celebration since that’s tomorrow. I even remember what you ordered and that big smile on your face. You will forever be 25 even tho I have continued to get older and older. I can’t wait to throw these arms around your neck one day when I get to come see you. I love you as much today as I ever have. Time changes nothing but makes me miss you more and more. I’m so in love with you, my brown-eyed boy. Happy birthday. I hope you’re proud of me and how I choose to celebrate your day. No I won’t be watching Star Wars or even Full Metal Jacket movie. I’m gonna do something WAY BETTER!! Send me a sign like always. Forever my 404 xoxoxo

04/25/23 will be 25 years since you were taken. I still think of you all the time. I see signs you are still with me every single day. I love you more than I have ever loved you and I cannot wait to see you when I get to Heaven. Please keep watching over me and sending me signs. Your flag still sleeps beside my bed and your badge around my neck.
Forever yours. (Happy Anniversary 4/27)

Driving thru your state
awoke all of my senses
to memories of you.
The scent of flowers blossom,
the sites of an old country road
conjured images of summers.
Summers you filled with joy, and special moments with your little one,
family and friends.

What a gift would it be
to see you again.
To be able to share a laugh
and call you old man, old friend.
The life you should have lived
I have no doubt would have been filled with love and eternal laughter.
The same laughter you etched in our hearts.
May that laughter be inherent in your kin.
Rest easy friend
Your loss is felt

You will always be remembered and adored

Some days it feels like the years have flown by and others it seems like an eternity. We all miss you dearly and wish you were here. You were such an amazing daddy and I know if you were here you would be an amazing papaw to your 3 amazing grandchildren. They are growing up so fast! Isabella is 12, Emmalyn is 9, and Camden is 4 ( your name is carried on as his middle name). They all know who you are and love you dearly. You are forever our HERO! I love you daddy and I will 10-25 you again!

Ofcr. Gibson,

I read sadly today of your struggle to do right for your community and your untimely loss to your family and Blue Family. I too lost two good friends in the line of duty many years ago. I think of and miss them everyday. That is how I know YOU are not forgotten, Sir. So unfortunate your tour was so short. Mine has been long and heavy with the loss of friends and fellow LEO's over the years. While local justice seemed to not have been done in your case it SEEMS the Federal system did the proper thing. I pray they are still right there and will be until they DIE. They should have to look at your official portrait on the walls of their cells everyday.

God Bless you Sir.

Rest well, we have the watch for now, and we will all be reunited when we follow you to Glory.

For some time I have been wanting to reconnect with you but life happened and before you know it time escapes. I never doubted you would be of service to others, to me you will always be the strong, flawless, kind, compassionate and loving super human I remember. I must be dreaming, has my search for you really lead me to this page? I can't imagine a world your no longer a part of. I will say a special prayer for your entire family especially for your daughter Crissana. I will hold with adoration the pics of your beautiful contagious smile and crazy antics and think fondly of the time in Parris Island S.C. 1994; You were always in sight despite the filled fields of camouflage. Your tenacity, intense take charge zest for life attitude will forever be engraved in my heart. We never said goodbye dear friend and never will. I was blessed to have met you.

Your unforgettable I will remember you always

You were smiling. I told you I was taking you home now. I was so glad you were alive. Omg it’s so crazy to miss someone this much after all these years. I love u so much. Keep sending me dreams and signs. I’m watching for them. xoxoxo
