I am so sorry, to loose a loved one in this way is so painful. The waste of a good man is a tragedy asking for support is the right thing to do. Post counts are irrelevant in a situation such as this your pain counts for much more.

I so appreciate the support here from all of you. As bad as yesterday was, today seems worse, maybe because the numbness from the shock is wearing off, and I know that every day for the rest of my life I will wake up to a world without Glendon in it.
Thank you, Gayle for this : "Your son had unconditional love for you and was true to that love. He obviously had respect for you and trueness in his heart" That is what I will cling to. His love for me was able to transcend the WTS's programming enough for us to remain close as mother and son after I left the organization. I have spent many years feeling enormous guilt for leaving the JWs while he stayed in it. He was truly the model JW child, and willingly so. He did everything I asked of him, believed me when I taught him this religion, and then I pulled the rug out from under him by leaving it myself. I had hopes that he would eventually be able to get out himself. I think he would have, if he had more time.

Truman,
What a terrible loss. Best wishes to you and the rest of the family as you recover from this tragedy.
I was delighted to read the following remark in your post. Putting human relationships first, instead of following Watchtower's guidance, is a mark of a good man.
...when I left the organization more than a decade ago, he never gave me misery over that decision--although I know it hurt him deeply. We had a close relationship...

So sorry for your devastating loss, Truman. May you heal quickly.
I don't know if it's the same incident or not, but I saw a brief story on national news this morning about a sherriff that was shot and killed serving a warrant or eviction. The news stated that the sherriff (deputy?) was a week away from retirement. So senseless and sad.
Sincerely,
