A man named Derwin Brown was chosen and elected overwhelmingly by the people of Dekalb County to be your leader and representative in the office of Sheriff of Dekalb County. It was your collective will that spoke out on that rainy election night much to the surprise and disappointment of some in high places and not so high places. It was because of your collective intelligence, insight and courage that a man who truly stood for truth, integrity and justice was elected. He vowed to root out corruption and you knew that he meant business. Unfortunately, so did the evil forces of corruption and since he could not be bought, he was killed. The life of a righteous man....DENIED. The will of righteous people....DENIED. It is again time for the righteous to be courageous and do whatever is necessary to insure that true justice and righteousness prevails. There is a segment of the law enforcement community and county government that is truly committed to finding the killers of Sheriff-elect Derwin Brown and those who may have conspired to have him assassinated. There may also exist a segment of the law enforcement community and county government whose interests will better served if the truth is never discovered. Therefore, we the family of Sheriff-elect Derwin Brown (mother, sisters and brother), ask that you join us in our appeal to the United States Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney General's Office to investigate public corruption in the Dekalb County Government in connection with the brutal assassination of Sheriff-elect Derwin Brown.

If you are interested in helping us to achieve this goal by signing and/or helping us to circulate a petition in your neighborhood, your church, mosque, synagogue, social or fraternal organization, please contact Renee Brown at (678) 495-6025 anytime. We leave you with the words of Sheriff-elect Derwin Brown:

"There have always been a few who have stood up for the many, often at times when the many would not stand for themselves. Whether out of fear, intimidation, or ignorance there have always been those who ride the victories and sacrifices of others, cheering and celebrating as if they dared to make a difference. Yes, even some who would minister to you about God's power and the armor and shield that "the word" provides seem to falter in their convictions when it's time to "step out on faith" and challenge the unrighteousness found in their workplace, community or government. What sacrifice are you willing to make for truth and righteousness? Are you leading a double life, speaking of injustices in whispers, while exclaiming all your faith in the creator? These are questions for self-examination. Are you willing to pick up the drum of justice? "THE TIME IS NOW!! PEACE"

  The family and   friends of Derwin Brown would like to extend our deepest sypmathy to all those families who lost loved ones in the the 9-11 tragedy.

 

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME......

When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not there to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn’t get to say

I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
And each time that you think of me
I know you’ll miss me too

But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand
And said my place was ready
In heaven far above
And that I’d have to leave behind
All those I dearly love

But when I walked through heaven’s gates
I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me
From his great golden throne
He said "This is eternity
And all I’ve promised you"

Today for life on earth is past
But here it starts anew
I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last
And since each day’s the same way
There’s no longing for the past

So when tomorrow starts without me
Don’t think we’re far apart
For every time you think of me
I’m right here in your heart
