LAKELAND -- Polk County Deputy Vernon Matthew (Matt) Williams, died in the line of duty on Thursday, Sept. 28, 2006. He was 39.
He is survived by his wife, Nancy, their three children -- a 19-year-old son and 16-year-old twins, a boy and a girl.
Williams became a deputy in 1994.
"I knew him well. He was a nice person and an excellent deputy," former Sheriff Lawrence W. Crow said. "He was always one of the first K-9 deputies on the scene, one of the first to pursue a suspect."
Williams' German shepherd K-9, Diogi, was also killed Thursday.

Matt, I hope you and your family know that your legacy and your memory are not forgotten. Paul and I still talk about you, still use phrases we picked up from you, still mourn the day you were taken away. Nancy, you and your kids are often on my mind. Paul and I send our love.

Time seems to go by so fast. Sometimes, I feel like the life I remember with you really didnt happen, that it is something I made up. A life that I dreamed up, the perfect life for me. Then I look at our children and grandchildren and I realize it was real, it was a lifetime ago, but a life that was real and a life that I would give anything to have back. So many crazy things have and are happening in this world today, but I know if you were here, you would make them all seem so much more bearable. I miss your wisdom, I miss your way of making jokes to cover your fear, so we would only see your strength. I miss how you could just look at me and your eyes and smile would reassure me that we together could overcome anything. I miss how the kids were able to go to you for the advice and support that kids need from their father. I do pretty good covering the mother side, but I have not been able to feel your shoes on the father side over the last 14 years. The only thing that has saved me is that you were such a good role model, and they watched you like a hawk, and they embedded those memories in their brain and they have used that knowledge to lean on each other and share the knowledge and memories they have. I miss you caring about how my day was, I miss the support you gave me in my career and with our children. I miss the days you came home and dropped your plans to spend time with me on the couch just to comfort me and give me the one on one time I needed from you. Dammit, I just miss you !! I even miss you getting mad at me about all the little things, I would happily accept you getting mad at me over the little things, just to get all of Those things back of you that I miss so much...I know all crazy talk... but all of us widows go Crazy, we just cover it up with our daily new norm life that we must live for our children and to honor our hard working officers that have given their lives protecting our county. Missing and loving you more then ever!!! Time comes and go, but the pain remains!
Your Endless love

Hi Matt, the 28th would have been your 50th birthday. We had so many plans for our fifties. We were both going to travel together. Spend lots of time with the kids and grandkids. Take them on family boating trips. It makes me feel very sad and selfish that I am still getting to enjoy these things and to move forward with our plans without you. It is and was not fair that you were taken from us so soon in life. I will always be blessed to have spent so many years as your wife, and even more blessed to be the Mother of your children. So many things have happened in the last 10 years that you have missed out on all because of the one horrible man. I love you Matt, the kids and I all wished you were still here with us more than anything in this world. You have some amazing kids and even some more amazing grandkids. You are and will always forever be in our hearts.
Love your wife Nancy

10 years.....wow. I remember the day I met you at the Marcum Rd. Bank. You had come in to see your wife, Nancy. That is the day I asked why you would name your dog, D O G. You very nicely explained that DIOGI was the name and did not make me feel stupid in the least! It was easy to see the love that was there between you and Nancy. And then you were gone..... I always remember how graciously Nancy handled the service and all the well wishers. My heart still breaks for her, but she has found her way through the strength she gets from you and the family. Thanks, Matt, for your sacrifice and service for the betterment of the rest of us. You and DIOGI will never be forgotten.

Your family is carrying on your Legacy my freind and you would be so proud of how far they have come. I will always have the greatest admiration for you and Diogi Matt and respect all you have done in law enforcement. You were definately one of a kind and will always be missed and loved.

Thank you for your service to Polk County. You have a beautiful family and I know you watch out for them. I got to know them after you were already gone so we never officially met. My kids and my little Sister knew you from your visits to Polk City Elementry. They loved you and your partner Diogi. Rest in peace and God Bless the Williams family for being so graceful during all of the attention after your death.

My family never met your husband but we were living in Polk county when this horrible incident happened. Our prayers go out to you & your family. We have two relatives in law enforcement & worry about them every day. We need to pray, be thankful for and appreciate our law enforcement for putting their lives on the line daily to keep us safe.
May God continue to bless your family and know your husband and Diogoi will never be forgotten by many.

Another year anniversary of your death has once again come and gone marking the 8th year that you have been gone from this earth. Each day I am reminded of you in one way or another through our children and grandchildren. They all have so much of you in them and in their ways. You are missed more then words could ever express. There are still times that I catch myself thinking that all of this is just a bad nightmare and that one day I will wake up and see you driving down the drive way. You would be so very proud of all of the kids. They each are successful in their own way. And the grand children, wow, they are just amazing. I know how much you dreamed of the day that you could play with our children. Trust me, you would have had a blast. They remind me so much of the kids when they were kids. I miss you and the kids miss you. RIP

Nancy,
I did not know your husband, however, he must have been a wonderful man for you to keep up this ledger/guestbook for all of these years. Your writings are heartfelt, touching, and sweet. I am sure Matt was just as blessed by the Lord having you as a wife as you were having him as a husband!
Your words inspire me in my relationship with my husband.
I am sorry for your loss. Though one day you and your husband will meet again. This time on earth is just a small blip in comparison to the eternity you will have in the Glory of God.
"I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 8:11).
In Christ,

Babe,
Every year on my birthday, the day you were taken from me, September 28th, I have posted something on here. This year I decided not to, just because, well it has continued to bother me so I am here posting. I miss you more than words could ever say. Seven years and it still does not seem real, but yet I wake up every day and go to bed every day and life goes on. I know I tell you this every year, but you would be so proud of our three children. They are amazing and they are making a great life for themselves. I finally left the bank after almost 30 years, and I am teaching just like I always wanted to do. I love it. Each year without you is different than the year before. All I can do is keep moving forward, I tried keeping time still, it did not work. I love you, and you will always and forever remain in my heart.
Nancy

Happy 46th Birthday Babe. Six and half years later and you are missed more than ever. So much has changed in our lifes. There are so many things that you should have gotten to experience with me. Your grandchildren for instance; Matthew is something else. He is so much like Christopher when Christopher was a baby. He is so very smart. I know if you were here you would have him working on trucks and four wheelers. We got him a four wheeler for his 4th birthday, and the boy can ride it with little assistance. Christopher has so many of your traits. Remember how you could stay up until all hours of the night playing video games when you were 25, well you passed that down to Christopher. He has given us two lovely grandchildren and has a great wife. He is a great dad and tries really hard to take care of his family. He has made a few mistakes, just like we did at his age, but you would be so proud of him. A little about sweet Abbigail, your granddaughter. She is so beautiful. She would most definitely have you wrapped around her finger. She has the prettiest eyes and hair you would ever want to see. She is so very smart and she loves horses just like you did. Speaking of horses, that brings me to Jimmy. Wow Matt, he is so much like you. He has a minimum of 10 projects started at any given time. Remind you of someone? He is so good with the horses. He must have really paid attention to you working with the horses, because he is just as good as you were with them. He has raised one from birth just like you raised wildfire from birth. The “baby” loves Jimmy and will do anything Jimmy wants him to do. He will just walk right up to Jimmy and eat from his hand. The baby horse will also walk up to Abbi and Matthew. Then there's your daughter Amanda, your world. She is working very hard to become a teacher. She is everything you ever wanted in a daughter. She is compassionate, and she loves to help people. She always puts everyone else's needs and wants before her own. Matt, she is still my best friend. You would be the proudest dad and granddad ever if you were here on earth with us. I miss you, the kids miss you. We love you and you will always and forever remain in my heart.

Maybe one day in Heaven we will meet and shake hands. I'm sorry Matt for what happened, and I pray for you Nancy and your family for peace. I've been doing this job for 12 years and I'm 33 now. I can only hope that if something was to happen to me I would have just half of the great things that people have said about Matt be said about me. God Speed Matt.... RIP.

Loved and missed
September 28, 2011
?5 Years ago today, I lost a friend and his dog. He was just not a friend nor was this a reg. Dog…He was Deputy Matt Williams and his K-9 Partner DiOGi. Polk County Sheriff’s Office lost a great team..Matt’s family lost a husband, father and a brother. They say time heals all wounds; however, this wound is not healing. Some days it’s almost like it happened yesterday it’s still so fresh in my mind.... Matt you have no idea how much you were loved and are missed by your family and your friends, you are a true Hero, it’s not by how you died that made you one, it’s how you lived and the so many lives that you touched, that is what makes you the true Hero. I continue to make shirts in your Honor and to keep your memory alive. I hope you & DiOGi are keeping the streets of gold in order up there….Give DiOGi a big pat on the head for me for a job well done & I miss you my friend. To Nancy and the rest of the family…thinking of you all on this day…Matt~are you smiling today~

On this tragic day 5 years ago, our world would be forever changed. That day we lost a great man and his partner. I will never forget the felling of love and loss during your Memorial Service. I was at Diogi park last weekend with my dog, I read the sign and shed another tear. Such a tragic loss left The World minus 2 heroes. Rest Easy Matt and Diogi, You Have Earned It.

Matt, I remember your reaction to this day 10 years ago. I remember how you watched each update, and how you were prepared to go and help search for the rest of the love ones not yet found. I remember seeing your compassion in the sadness on your face, yet seeing the strength. The same strenght that you used to always get our family through every trying time we had. You loved your job, and you were always ready to go assist your country in any way you could. You are a hero Babe. We love and miss you.

I'm sure you are up there with my mom, watching over all of us every day. I'm sure yall are passing stories back and forth and each of us as kids. You and Nancy raised a good family and I am blessed to be able to say that I am apart of it.

Your birthday is fast approaching it is hard to believe you would be 44, you always had such a wonderful youthful spirit about you. While the rest of us love and miss you dearly nobody knows the pain your family feels daily please watch out for them and let them know you are close. Until we meet again dear friend rest in peace
