Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Hicks,
On today, the 5th anniversary of your murder, I would like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice, not just for your community, but for our Country as well when you served in the USAF.

As time goes by, and I observe the endless and countless violent acts that men do to one another, I always ask myself the same question...Its the same question that I put on the other reflections that I have left to my fallen brothers and sisters as well....Its the question that no one seems to have an answer to...especially the the wrong doers..........Here's the million dollar question.....WHAT DOES IS TAKE????????? WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO CHANGE THE ESSENCE OF MANS THINKING?????Unfortunatly, I never got to meet my brother Officer Clayton Wayne Hicks Jr., but his picture is in my mind all the same........This brother just went out to enjoy himself off duty, when he was recognized by a female who COULD HAVE arrested her in a prior incident.....but he didnt........maybe she could have thanked him or asked him how she could possibly get some help or counseling, but instead, she incites an issue which ended in us losing a life.....a life that risked his own on a daily basis.......what did she do for a living......(just curious).......wonder if she would be up to the task......Anyway........people....when is enough enough. We must stop and think...we are adults. These are adults who have the capacity to think and make better decisions, but are not. At this time Iam at a lost for words. I didnt know him, but I feel something that I probably shouldnt feel...I miss my brother I never knew...His picture stands out in my mind, and it pains my heart knowing what happen to him....Thank GOD......My brother is with the real CHIEF OF POLICE know(GOD)...Save a place for me bro.......We love you man...Peace..

I met Scooby in the Memphis Police Department Training Academy. He became one of my best friends. He helped me through a lot. He wanted to be a police officer forever. We would sit around and talk about it. I spoke with him two months before his death. The last thing we did was hug and say I'll see ya soon. His death was so sad. I love you and miss you.

ONE MOMENT

In the whisper of the wind,
I felt God embrace me.
As the voice of a loved one,
I heard God speak to me
Looking in a mirror
I saw God smile at me.
One moment and I knew
That God and I were one.

It is a sad day when an officer pays the ultimate sacrifice when he or she is enjoying their off-duty time. Officer Hicks Jr. will not be forgotten.

I met Scooby when we were stationed together in Germany. He was our tour guide, our guidance counselor, but most of all, a very good friend. Unfortunately, we didn't stay in touch after he left the Air Force. I'm sorry to hear that he's gone.

Scooby,

Although we wept because we missed you, God smiled because you are now with him. It was wonderful having you as a friend. I will always remember your smile, your sense of humor, and your kind spirit.

His name was Scooby. Thats what we all called him. Its what everyone called him. He was a kind and gentle soul, who never hurt anyone that didn't try to hurt him. He lived in and worked in the same neighborhood, because he felt officers should have a bond with the people they police. I was his partner and I remember our last conversation. Scooby was my friend, and I was proud to call him that. I will never forget him, and I know he's in a better place.
God Bless you Scooby.
We'll show you special at First & Heaven.
