Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I was working that same night checking on an alarm at the local Wal-Mart. The night crew was cleaing up and closing for Christmas and all was well. I've never forgotten that night because that same night you were protecting others from harm and gave your life for them. It always reminds me that nothing is for granted.

Thank God for Law Emforcement, and God Bless you Sir.

Aubrey, I don't know if I ever met you at a function where San Angelo REACT helped with the Dallas REACT while you were still a member. But, I know several who did know you.
As a Public Safety Dispatcher, I was saddened to learn of your death and our distant connection. Our department had recieved several reports of people seeing the Texas 7 in our area and I hoped that nothing occurred to ANY law enforcement officer, especially our own.
May you rest in peace.

I am writing a paper over my career for an internship course. I still remember that dreaded call on Christmas Eve from Wade telling me that Aubrey had been killed in the line of Duty. Aubrey was a great friend and always willing to help others.
I still come across fellow officers that either knew or worked with Aubrey.

You are truly missed. May God speed be with you.

Dear Officer Hawkins,

I remember when this happened and how I cried when I read of the way you died and the kind of man, son, husband and father you were.

It was not fair, it should not have happened, but you did you job as the professional you were trained to be.

I wish you hadn't gone this way, sir, but I thank you for your sacrifice. Your sacrifice ultimate took seven animals off the street and into Huntsville's Death Row, where they belong.

Your family stays in my prayers, and I wish you peace in your home with God.

Officer Aubrey Hawkins, you gave your all, and that "all" was ultimately your life. I am awed and humbled by your bravery.

Thank you for protecting and serving.

You are not forgotten.

Aubrey,

All I have heard is all good things about you. I currently work with some Police Officer's that knew, and worked with you when you were at Police Officer for St. Paul Hospital, and I all I hear is what a great Police Officer you were, and what great friend you were as well. I wanted to let you know that it is officer's like yourself that make me want to be a Police Officer. Currently I am a Dispatcher for my department, and will be attending the Police Academy in the near future, and I can only hope that I make a impact as big as you did in the people you knew lives'.

Rest in Peace my brother.

I just finished reading the reflections from all of you. It made me feel so good to see the love you have for him.

I spend alot of time with Aubrey's son/my grandson who is now 15. He looks and acts just like Aubrey with the same gentle spirit. He is going to be a big man like his dad...he is already wearing a size 14 shoe.

Thanks to everyone again for the role you play in Aubrey's legacy which I hope lives for years to come.

Not a Christmas Eve goes by where I don't think about you. I always think about your son and how he must have felt waking Christmas morning to hear about your death. I think about your wife and how she must have suffered. I remember waiting on our north loop in the days after your death and looking for the Texas 7 and wondering how I would deal with them if I saw them.

As I type this, I am watching my wife and three sons getting ready for the night and tomorrow morning. I will go to shift meeting tonight and tell my shiftmates to remember Aubrey Hawkins. I will remind them that they need to be extra careful tonight so Santa comes home in the morning. Help us and watch over us again this year, Aubrey.

I will pray for your family tonight. Rest in peace, brother. I, along with alot of your friends and comrads, will be on watch tonight. Merry Christmas.
