I love you uncle <3
March 23, 2013
Dear Son, Eternally On Watch, Today, March 23, 2013, seven years ago....Mom misses you so much, will remember you forever. Thank you for all the love you gave to me and showed me by every thing you did to make those 36 years we shared very precious. Just as this 7th year is spiritually symbolic of God's perfection, I still remember with smiles the special 2005 August birthday present of the beautiful white rose bouquet... now in my heart with new meaning. I Love you JT, My Only Son. You truly knew the meaning of Family and we shall see each other again in the rest and peace of Heaven with all of our loved ones. "Mumsy"

Tevin & Family,
At Rutland Middle School, we miss you a lot. Even though you have moved on to the 9th grade and getting ready to get promoted to the 10th grade, you are still in my prayers!
It is my prayer that God will continue to strengthen, bless and keep you and your family in His care!!!!!!!
Especially thinking of you today on the anniversary memorial of your dad.
Stop by to see us sometime! As I said earlier, you are missed at RMS.

JT,
It seems like only yesterday, I still can't believe you are gone. I often expect the phone to ring and for it to be you pulling one of your many pranks. I really miss talking with you, and by now I would be planning on visiting you after the long harsh winters here in NY. We talk about you often and will love and keep you in our memories forever. Till we meet again.
Love always,
Aunt Wanda

JT - You are still a presence in so many lives- You have always been special - As the day of your memorial service is upon us I reflect on you as a blessing to our family. You are always about family and believed in working things out and not giving up - Even though you lost your father, my brother, at an early age it did not prevent you from being a great Dad to your children - I remember when you came to visit w/Grandma Whitehead and how she said you took care of Taisha (Rabbit) giving her a bath and even did her hair. She was so proud of you
I know you are alright and we will see you again -- Endless Love, Aunt Reene

It is coming upon one year since tragedy struck the lives of Mr. Whitehead's families and friends. I pray for continued strength for you all. I did not know Mr. Whitehead personally, but the goodness of his character expressed by those that knew him, touches me. I often come back to this guest book from time, and I am pleased with the loyalty of the expressions others have made. I hope I can learn to be as loving to everyone, not just to my children and family. I can tell this young man made a difference in life to a lot of people, that is why he will live on in memory. Mr. Whitehead, R.I.P.!

Jay,
What's going on man. You were on my mind and I just wanted to say hello. I talked to Tony today and he's doing fine. I often still can't believe the reality of you not being here. But I trust that god has everything under control. I will talk to you later.

There's a song that comes to mind when I think of you "one sweet day" by Mariah Carey and Boyz 2 Men. I actually singed this at my High School graduation.The one verse that always make me cry goes " sorry I never told you, all I wanted to say". I never really thanked you for taking me to Albany (ga) for my fathers funeral, and just being there for me when I needed someone just to listen or just to make me laugh to keep me from crying.JT, you are and will always be dear to my heart. Even though you where one of the oldest grand kids, you still made sure that your little cousins are ok. Love always ChaCha

This past Sunday has been 4 months since you've been gone. I was thinking about our last conversation just 5 days before you were taken, I called and you spoke to me and Akeim for 30 minutes. Before we hung up I told you we would be down to see you this summer. Your reply was "yeah, come on down, we'll be glad to have you". We (myself, Naheem, Akeim and Charlene truly miss you. And we will always love you and keep you in our memory. You are the Best.

Within all great societies stands and falls great heroes, and Joseph Whitehead was certainly a hero in every since of the word, to his family and to his community.
We see senseless tragedies take place daily on the 6 o'clock news
and yet seldom feel the impact left in the wake that befalls those left behind to carry the burden of life without both the emotional and financial support of their beloved lost one.
We as a community must pull closer together to help in these times of crisis and help provide for the families of these brave men and women that place their own lives on the line for you and I.
Joseph was a man of great courage, but so is his family, for he has now passed on to a greater glory with God,and they too must move on in a positive direction with their lives,knowing that his spirit is still looking over them, providing them with strength and fortitude even in these, the saddest of times.

JT, its been a while since we spoke or came in contact but i remember that infectious smile like it was yesterday. I remember that hop in your step. I remember us cutting up in class. I remember you welcoming me into your home when i was an outsider. I remember when you were visiting home from the military you proclaimed 'my jump shot is nice now', and i laughed hysterically. Most of all, I remember a friend. Thank You

Truly a day doesn't go by without me thinking of my Little nephew,although he was a great man of courage and honor, he still was my little nephew.He dreamed of playing professional football, getting drafted and all of that.I asked him Jay what team are you hoping for he said the 1st come 1st serve.Smile.Then to if you please I remmember J.T Whitehead going through his teenage years a great dancer.This too I asked him J.T how do you do that. He said you want me to show you.We were standing in front of the mirror in his Mom's front room.He was doing the snake and told me to watch him, well I got right in back of him still looking in the mirror.And learned how with his little help.Those were wonderful times we shared when he was growing up.He was a great leader then and grew up to be a hero.It's all right to cherish the great moments in his life I don't feel ashamed of it.Because I truly loved my little nephew J.T.Whitehead.God bless the whole family, Love Auntie Althea (Jackie) Jones

Before I retired from Bibb County I have the pleasure to talked with Joseph, and he always talked with a soft heart. Thank God for his parents, because I know he taught his kids the same. Joseph will be miss, but live on and do all things in Christ Jesus. Feed not loneliness on empty days, but fill each waking hours in useful way. Reach out your heart in comfort and cheer and remember that God will comfort you and hold you near. In the times of deepest grief, you can trust God. God will send some to give you a hug or lisen when you need to talk. We worship a great God who send miracle moments to give us bursts of joy in sad seasons of life. Watch for your miracle moments to arrive. Look to your memories for comfort, to your faith for understand and pece.

We would like to express our heart felt sympathy to all of you. Even though we could not be there, we were in spirit! I remember when we were in North Carolina, I was speaking with cousins JT and Garris and we were discussing our news and jobs. JT always had this fantastic smile and I will always remember that. Working from a former law enforcement background, I have learned in some departments what a wonderful and supportive community it can be. The Heavens have been rewarded with a fantastic protective angel!
Vanzetta Delores Evans

Some may ask why the Lord decides to take someone at such a young age. But in JT's case, 36 years was all the Lord needed to fulfill his purpose.
The last time I saw my cousin JT was when I was about 11. Many things can separate a family-- distance, time, walls,-- But it is the shared blood that flows through our bodies that will connect us always.
The last time I saw JT was when he was a teenage boy. After reading the many messages left here, I am glad to see that he grew up to be such a wonderful man. He touched so many in such a positive way.

I heard this morning about the loss of J.T. and the rest of my day has been one of sorrow, pain, a need to shed tears and emotions that I am unable to express. I have essentially been paralyzed and the day has slowly passed. It is sorrow for a mother losing her child, sorrow for a young life cut short; especially a life that was doing so much to make the world a better and safer place for all of us. It is also sorrow for not having seen J.T. grow up to become such a fine young man. This morning I read all 14 pages of “The Officer Down Memorial Page, Inc.” I was unable to stop reading as I learned about the man that J.T. had become; the husband, father, Christian, and well-liked and well-respected public servant who gave his life in the line of duty. J.T. I am so proud of you! It has been a long time since you were in “Girlville.” Today I remembered your smile, your eyes, facial expressions, your laugh (cracking up), how you made us laugh with your silly little boy jokes; Shiera and Lisa laughing at, teasing and trying to find privacy without you (a little boy and teenaged girls), your occasional pout and whine as a result; and of course, your bad Aunt who did not realize how that little prank we pulled would affect you. I just looked at your picture here and was surprised to see your uncle's mouth, then his jaw, every resemblance except your father's eyes. What I remember most of all J.T. is all the delicious “gourmet” meals that I prepared, and finally one night you exclaimed at the dinner table, “Now this is the best meal we’ve had since I’ve been here!” It was beans and franks :-). To your wife and children, Aunt Dee, Grandma Evans, and Lisa, my prayers will be for and with you. We don’t understand why bad things happen to good people, but it is not for us to understand or ask why. God knows; He does not make mistakes, and surely some good will result from J.T.’s death because as I read today, J.T. touched so many lives in a positive way, and his work and his memory will continue to live and thrive in Bibb County and in places and hearts unknown. “Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee” and continue to “Hold to God’s unchanging hand.”

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

My husband, my children and I were burglarized in 2001; it was the largest burglary in Macon's history in about 25 years. It was a very traumatic time for all of us, especially for my children who were 6 and 9 at the time. They were afraid to sleep in their own home. Investigator Whitehead helped in the investigation and capture of the criminal and he is now serving 15 years for his crimes. During this investigation, Lt. Whitehead remained calm and vigilant to help solve this crime and was a big comfort to me knowing he was working on the case diligently and at the same time had a great compassion for what our family and especially the children were going through. He touched my life in a quiet way, not wanting any celebration or recognition when the criminal was caught, but just grateful that once again he had made this world a safer place. He is still doing that job from another angle, still watching over everyone, and we are all blessed by that. He was a great asset to the community and he gave the greatest sacrifice doing what he loved and came natural to him. For those who knew him and those who didn't, the community has lost a truly great man. May he rest in peace and our sincere condolences to the family.

To Delores E.Whitehead(J.T"s)loving mother,to Lisa W.Thomas(J.T's)loving sister,To Nana(J.T's)loving Grandmother.I always think about my Nephew and his humor always joking with us and making us laugh.We haven't stopped Jay we are filled with the great memories you gave us the family.I just want to share one special one if you please.I was at his mother's house for a brief stay and J.T was growing up then I had just come home from work and sat down to relax.He looked at me went in the kitchen came back and asked me Auntie are you going to cook me something to eat? I said no you are not my Husband.(Smile) he got on the phone and told Nana I wouldn't cook him some food.Well, she said why don't you cook the child something he's hungry.You should have seen the smile on his face when I put the phone down,he knew he was going to get my good cooking then.I want to say to the Family cherish every moment you have with your children life is sweet and short.I'am glad to be the great cook for Joseph Whitehead that day he was such a sweet Nephew no trouble at all.Now you rest in peace Jay.Love Auntie Athea E.Jones

To Dee, Lisa, Jackie, and JT's extended Family:
How saddened I was to hear of your loss. Though I cannot say I know what you are going through, I do offer my heartfelt sympathy. In such a distressing time as this, words are hard to come by to truly express our feelings, so I would like to invite you to open your Bibles to scriptures such as Psalm 55:22, Psalm 46:1, and 2Corinthians 1:3-7--these scriptures were a source of comfort to me during a distressful period in my life and I hope they will serve as a comfort to you also. May the God of all comfort be with you at this time.

To the entire Whitehead family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I still can't believe that this has happened. I have had the pleasure of knowing "JT" for over 20 years. We lost contact over the years but God works in good ways. This has brought me closer to our good freind Tony Price.I promise not to drop the ball anymore in keeping in contact. Jay your frienship is a blessing and will be missed, but we will see each other again. My love and respect for you as a man and true friend is unconditional.

To the wife, kids, and family of Joseph Whitehead, Your good days will always outweigh the bad, but through it all, God still has his hand in your life. And God is the only one that can give you the peace and comfort that you need. Continue to trust "him" and he will see you through. You will be a witness to others.
