Another NC Trooper dies in the line of duty

What bothers me is that I talked to him on the phone 30 minutes before his wreck. AJ, you will be missed.

C-352, 10-42. Godspeed brother. We have the watch now.

That's sad news.

Sounds like it wasn't anybody's fault, just one of those things.

Looks like a very unfortunate and tragic accident. I offer my condolences and prayers to his family and his fellow brother officers. I am with everyone else also, let me know what I can do?

Stay safe Jack,

Man I hate to hear that. We went to the same high school but he was a couple of years older than me... I didn't know him well but many of my friends did. They say he was a real stand-up guy. I would like to contribute too if there is a fund. God bless his family-

My condolences to his family. You never know when it is your time. Live everyday like it is your last and make sure you tell your loved ones how you feel about them. You may not ever get a chance.

From one brother to another, I am very sad to hear of the lose of a fellow brother. It is never safe for us, alot of people do not realize the amount of traffic accidents Law Enforcment Officers are involed with. I have personally laid to rest two from my agency that died in vehical accidents. To the whole Troop my very best and prays. Gone but not forgotten........................Admin.Sgt. Lee County Sheriffs Office

Very sorry to here the news Jack. We normally try to send a rep to or state agency funerals, then the troop does a write-up in the trooper magazine. I'll get ahold of the association and watch for it to send you a copy for your barracks or the family.
