Captain Sewell, as most of you know him, was my friend in our small home town of Atoka OK. Many of you may not know, but he was a really good high school athlete, football and track. He was the hardest working member of the team in all sports. He was my Center, as I was the QB in my Senior year, he was one year younger. He was one of the smaller linemen we had, but definitely was one of the more talented ones. He started on the High School football team even as a Freshman, when Freshman were not typically allowed to play, he as that good. Although he was an outstanding Center, he was even better as a Defensive Linebacker. He just had that instinct of all great players to anticipate how each play was going to develop and be in the thick of it ALL THE TIME. We almost made it to the State Championship game, we lost in the State Semi-Final game, falling one game short. Yes, he was truly a great athlete in his own right, but more importantly, as anyone that ever met him, he was an amazing, God loving, person. That love of people and his fortitude for being the best at whatever he decided to do, is what everyone here has posted about this man! You are missed Mr. Captain Jeff Sewell.

Jeff was a great friend and Trooper. He was a Christian so I know he is resting in the arms of God...

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper
