Reflections for Corrections Officer Jeremy Lewis Hall
CO Hall, a corrections officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Virginia Department of Corrections. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother.

A Prayer for Officer Jeremy Hall
Heavenly Father,
With heavy hearts, we come before You to honor the life and sacrifice of Officer Jeremy Hall. A man of quiet strength, unwavering duty, and deep love for his family, Jeremy stood watch in a place few dare to go. He served with courage, compassion, and integrity.
Lord, we ask that You welcome Jeremy into Your eternal embrace. Let his soul find peace in Your presence, free from pain, fear, or sorrow. May his memory be a light that never fades—a reminder of the bravery and selflessness he showed each day.
Be near to his wife, Dawn, and to all who loved him. Wrap them in Your comfort, hold them in their grief, and give them strength for the days ahead. Let them feel Jeremy’s love in every sunrise, his spirit in every quiet moment.
Bless his fellow officers who continue to serve. Let Jeremy’s legacy inspire them to walk with honor and to know they are never alone.
We thank You for the gift of Jeremy’s life. Though his watch has ended, his impact lives on.
Amen.
