Watch over us  / Gregory Strunk (Brother in Blue )
Jeff, it is hard to believe you are no longer with us.  You loss was felt in the department as well as the community.  My only hope is that i touch as many lives as you did.  I know you will watch over us as we continue to watch over the public.  And on that day when it is time for us to meet again i know you will be the first one there to escort each of your brothers blue home.

See You On The Other Side  / Dan Franklin (Academy Brother/Former Co-Worker )
We had been through a lot, both good and bad.  I miss you with all my heart, and wish we could have had one last hurrah.  We will meet again for shift change in the sky.  Godspeed Brother. Close

Friend / Chad Martinez (colleague/friend)
Jeff,
You were a good police officer and a great person.  We were friends through working together, and I value (and miss) that friendship.  I admire your passion - you weren't just making a living, you were helping people who needed you, and protecting all of us.  Victims in cases we have had together have called me to express their sadness, and to say how helpful you were, and how much you cared.  You touched so many lives.  You  managed to shrug off the annoying and rediculous people with a short laugh. That laugh helped us all get through.  That laugh stays with me.  My memories of you make me a better person.  I will try harder because of you to not just try to get the bad guys, but to also not lose sight of the people who need our help, and need someone to listen.  You are truly a good person.  Your loss will be felt by more people than any one of us can imagine.  I will miss you.

Brother in Red, Green and Blue  / Keith Transue (Co Worker/ Friend )
Jeff;

  You will be missed by everyone with no doubt. I want to give you a personal thanks for the support you showed me when you found out I was going to go to the academy. You as well as so many of the infamous ALPHA crew have supported me, but you and I were alike in the fact that we have been in the Fire, EMS and Police public service fields. So I want to THANK YOU for your service. Now go rest in Peace and dont worry we take it from here. 555


Jeff's Family;

     Although you do not know me I would like to offer my deepest condolences. I am sure you have heard it a million times before but Jeff is the definition of HERO. As we all have Jeff sufferd long nights, cold meals, holidays without family, and so many sacrifices all in the name of the complete stranger. He will never be forgoten by his fello Police officers, Fire Fighters, or EMS workers. PEACE BE WITH YOU in your hour of need.

A15 TO A50  / HARRY MILLER (BROTHER IN BLUE )

Whoever established this site I want to express my appreciation to you, thanks.
I was on an interstate in Ohio when I first heard from Cpt Parrish what happened. I spoke to several of your brothers immediately the shock, sorrow and emptyness swept through all the lives you touched. The books we read and the peple we meet are what impact each of our lives the most and you did this in a positive way Jeff.
Your distinct walk, your distinct voice, your unique noisey and overloaded workbelt but most of all your smile.
 AED's , workouts in the weightroom, seeing your closest friends and Alpha50 all remind me of you.
You were always the first to answer the radio and respond to a call. I wish we could have talked as do so many of us Jeff.
I wasn't there for your send off to a better place in person but I was in thought, spirit and prayer.
I wish you were here but  Christ TOO left earth "to prepare a better place for us and their are many mansions there 1 Th 4:13 "
and I know you are guarding heavens gate," where moth, nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not  break in Matt 6:20"
I hope to relieve your shift someday-KEEP YOUR SPIRIT CLOSE TO EACH OF US--NO GOODBYE JUST  I WILL "SEE YOU SOON" Harry

Yes / Keith Brooks
I know you had your reasons to leave as you did, that you considered the consequences and the impact, and traveled what you felt was your path.


I won't ever understand, but then again, I don't need to, and I became used to being puzzled by a lot of things you did!

I always knew that where ever you went, there would a Jeff Olsen sized hole in the wall.

At the end of the day, you are a friend I could count on, a brother that would be sitting next to me in the ER, saying "boy that was fun, let's do it again" and wearing that half a troublemaker grin.

I know I will move on past this, that everyday will get a little bit easier, every week will take a little more off the edge, and I can do that, your friendship made you worth the effort.

This Christmas, someone will go to jail, someone will receive a kindness, and someone will get their head messed with, in your honor, I will make it happen, and I will call these acts, an "Olsen".


Bless you and your children, my friend, and watch over me.

Jeff / Chris Shelly (Friend/ Co-worker )
Jeff, we will all miss you on the midnight shift. You were a great friend to work with, even when you ran a 10-28 at 4:30am. We will all miss you, the Christmas party nor the midnight shift won't be the same without you. I will keep you and your family and my prayers. May God be with you and may you find peace in heaven brother.  Close

You will be missed  / Carrie Ridner (Friend)
If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane,
We would walk all the way to Heaven, to bring you home again
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye
You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why
Our hearts ache in sadness, and secret tears will flow
What is meant to lose you, no one will ever know
