Jessy G. Pollard Obituary

Hello,
We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let your family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Jessy G. Pollard US Army Corporal.

We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission.

We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Sincerely,

You will be in my thoughts and prayers this weekend. God Bless.

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Jessy, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Cpl Pollard!

Thank you! RIP Jessy Guy Pollard, YOU WILL BE MISSED!

I HAD THE GREAT PRIVILAGE OF SERVING WITH JESSY UP TO THE DAY HE LEFT SCHOFIELD BARACKS. HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN .

CACTI!!!

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

I was stationed at FOB Warrior as part of the US Air Force contingent. I was the Air Force Protestant Chaplain. Jessy attended our Tuesday Night Men's Bible Study at Ohana Chapel, our Thursday Night Book Study and our Sunday Services at Freedom Chapel. My prayers are with the family as they continue to deal with their loss.

Jessy has been a Hero to his loving family for 22 years...and now, he is a true American Hero to all!
Jessy`s Grandfather-(Dad`s Dad)

We pray for you, and keep you in our thoughts during this unbelievably horrible and difficult time. My stepson, Joshua Harmon, also lost his life in this tragic accident. It is still not real, we go minute by minute, praying that the souls of these fine young men will somehow guide us. Please know that you do not walk this path alone, as you grieve for Jessy. May God be with you always.

To the family Of Jessy Pollard. your son is in a much better place now with god by his side. he is on hallowed ground because of his unselfish act of heriosm.

I did not know Cpl. Pollard, but wanting to post a short note on his guest book.

Thank you for your service to this country. You are truly an American hero and will never be forgotten.

RIP

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Cpl Pollard and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

To the family of Spc Jessy Pollard,
I wanted to send my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. My fiance, Mike Hook, was also aboard that helicopter that day. We are expecting our first son in a couple weeks, and I'm truly sorry for your loss. God Bless.

To the Family of Jessy Pollard, I have said a prayer for your son as well as mine. Phillip was also on that helecopter with your son. They are all together in a better place. If you ever need to talk or need anything please contact me. Again I am sorry for your loss.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

PJ,

my heart aches for you and all of your family. I am totally at a loss of words. May god's love carry you through this time of sorrow. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

The truth is we all loved you, but God loves you more and chose in His soveriegnty to call you home. You were a soldier on earth and now you are in the Lord's Army in heaven! You will be remembered with smiles and with thanksgiving, knowing we will see you again someday.

God Bless you, his family, friends and loved ones. you are in my prayers!

To Jessy,
Your watch is over now. We shall take over and stand guard in your place. Rest easy, fallen angel.

To Jessy's loved ones,
Even though Jessy and I only knew each other for a short while, I found him to be a good soldier and a fine young man. He and I lived across the hall from one another during his time at Fort Bragg and I was sad to see him leave. I am saddened even more now and wish I could express my sorrow for your loss. Words cannot express what this Army, and more importantly this nation, has lost. The price for freedom is great and I thank you for your son's service and sacrifice. Thank you for raising such a fine young man.

Jessy and Family,

My brother lived across the hall from you during SOPC, so this hits even closer to home for us. I ache for your family. My greatest comfort is that you are safely in the loving arms of our Father. My deepest gratitude and sympathy for you and your family. I pray God will hold your loved ones tightly in His grip and provide abiding peace in the coming days and years. You are one of my heroes and I look forward to meeting you in heaven, Jessy.

Spc. Jessy G. Pollard

To the parents of Jessy, I would like to extend my heart felt sorrow as I know what you are going through and what you will yet go through in the coming weeks. I too am the mother of another fallen soldier and with God's continued support in my life I try to reach out to other who might need the support of someone who has been where you are. I want to offer you the support you may need to contact me anytime so that you may vent, talk or just seek comfort I am here for you. As a Gold Star Mother I've reached out through God's blessings to many across the country and we have a good support group. May God continue to give you and your family the love, comfort and healing that you need. In memory of my son SPC Harry (Buck) Winkler III KIA Samarra, Iraq November 12, 2006

Rest In Peace Spc. Pollard, God bless you.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!
