Ten Year Fight Ends

A funeral service for suburban Detective Tim Jones:

• Park Forest Police Detective Tim Jones died nearly a decade after a shooting left him paralyzed. The community honored his life on Saturday.

  There were heavy hearts at a very emotional celebration of life at Tinley Park High School, the alma mater of Officer Jones, who battled for about a decade after being injured in the line of duty. All of his family and friends spoke to the kind of resilience Jones offered throughout his life

  Detective Jones was 24 years old when he was shot in the head in March of 2016 while responding to a burglary. Jones died earlier this month, nearly 10 years after the shooting. A public walk-through was held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. A first responder walk-through was held from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. The celebration of life service began at 2 p.m.

A hell of a fight you put up for those ten years. 

God Bless and RIP Detective.
