When I was 13 years old, I met with Sheriff Nick Jewell... under very difficult circumstances. He was a very honorable man who stood by me for justice when I needed it most. I have always had a special place in my heart for this gentleman. Thank you for standing up for me and protecting a scared young girl. You showed me there are decent and upstanding men still here to help those needing compassion and understanding.

After hearing about this icon of a man ALL my life, I finally got to meet him at Woodland Terrace. He was such a gentle man (he was the Sherrif?), thoughtful and witty, and so in love with Arlice and his God. He asked me if we could sing "The Love of God" at one of our Saturday music hours - I told him we would do it next time I was there.

My sincere condolences. Nick and my Dad worked and trained together at the Sheriff's Dept. We always considered him a close friend. He will remain in our memories.

To Ken, Karen and all the family My deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. Nick was such a joy to work with in the kitchen preparing meals for Awana at Napier church on Wed. Nights. I miss those times for the fellowship we all had was a joy. So respected was Nick. A good friend. My prayers for comfort and peace to each of you.

Sheriff Jewell gave me a graciously kind welcome to Berrien County when I was a young Trooper. I remember his retirement party with hundreds in attendance to honor his service; an amazing tribute to a wonderful man.

Nick was a professional. A good and decent man. Working with Nick was a pleasure. I don’t think anyone ever disagreed with Nick - I never did - he had a way of discussing difficult issues in a way that included all viewpoints and resulted in a consensus driven solution. Condolences to all his family.

Nick Jewell was a fine a man, as good a person, and as great a Sheriff as you could ever want. It was an honor and privilege to be his friend and colleague.
