Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Lance Corporal Parker,

I’m not sure if anyone has told you yet or not but the Highway Patrol named their troop one K9 after you. I had the privilege of being K9 Parker’s last handler before he was retired. One of the things that I always reflected on as his handler was that my son was born on May 16th. My son’s birthday and being Parker’s handler was a constant reminder of where my partner’s name came from, and there wasn’t a day on duty that I didn’t think of you. I want to thank you for that. As little of a consolation as it may be to your loved ones, I want them to know that your memory continues to live on. Retired K9 Parker is currently enjoying the best benefits any trooper could hope for. He loves playing with his toys, gets free food and housing, free medical care and all the love I can give him.
I want you and your family to know that I hope I’m doing my best in giving the K9 named in your honor the best life he can live. And that you will never be forgotten.

Trooper, as I sit at Skinner Rd and 527 watching night turn to day, I have reflected on and relived 20 years ago. Prayers have been given for your family and proper respect has been given to you. This world has changed in 20 years and not so much for the good. Few people have what it takes to do the job you did. Continue to watch over the ones of us still holding the line and standing the wall. RIP Trooper Parker. 20 years later and as always I am sorry I let the dragon win.....

My darling son-in-law, on this day nineteen years ago none of us knew what horror we would have to face on the morrow. Your death has forever altered the lives of so many people. Your absence has left a void here on earth, but I am thankful to be able to know without the shadow of a doubt that you have been in Heaven but a moment even though nineteen earthly years have passed. You will never be forgotten as long as I have breath. We love you, Jon.

I have known John since the 9th grade. I considered him a very close friend. I cannot believe that God took him away so early from his family and friends. May they find solace that his soul is in heaven. He always believed in helping others no matter what. We all miss you brother.

Jonathan, another year has passed. You would hate how some people disrespect the job that we chose to do. Politicians feed on and drive the hatred towards our profession, but there is still a job to do. I will never forget that dreadful day, and the sights, sounds and feelings that were before us. Thank you sir for your ultimate sacrifice. Rest easy brother. Wish I could have done more.

Trooper, it’s 16 years now since you gave your all doing what only a few have the courage to do now. I’m at Skinner Rd and 527 now reflecting on 5/16/2005 as I have done for 15 years and will continue to do out of respect for you. You will not be forgotten by myself or my family. RIP bubba and watch over the ones of us still holding the walls and patrolling the streets. As always I’m sorry I could not beat the dragon.

Thank you, Rudy and Lin, for not forgetting our precious Jon. I am confident that he is with the Lord and that we will see him again one day.
Y’all rest easy. You did all you could do for Jon but God had another plan. We don’t understand it, but faith trumps fear! God’s Grace is sufficient.
