Description
Slain Bellevue Police Officer Jordan Jackson was honored during a procession and memorial service Tuesday.
Jackson was killed in a motorcycle crash in November.
"If you were lucky enough to be part of his world, he was the sun shining on you," said Bellevue Police Department (BPD) Sgt. Robin Peacey in delivering Jackson's eulogy.
The memorial service was held at 1 p.m. at the Meydenbauer Center. The service was open to the public.
Jackson's partner, Officer Kevin Bereta, who was joined on stage with the entire Bellevue police motor unit, spoke about how grateful he was to work alongside Jackson.
"I was honored that a man like Jordan could be my best friend. He inspired me daily, and he made me a better person," Bereta said.
Jackson's cousin, Erik Taylor, reflected on how much he valued their time together growing up.
"Of all the many things Jordan was so great at, being a loving and devoted husband, father, brother and son was where he excelled the most. Of all the many reasons I aspired to be like Jordan when I was a kid, that is why I will aspire to be like him for the rest of my life," Taylor said.
After Jackson's colleagues, family, and friends remembered him, Gov. Jay Inslee presented a flag to his family.
