Officer Justin Scherlen of the Amarillo, Texas, Police Department was badly injured last September in a car accident while on duty.
As KSAT reports, following the accident, Officer Scherlen endured multiple surgeries and rehabilitation. However, in August of this year while on vacation with his wife… and their kids, Scherlen suddenly passed away.
Since the father of four couldn’t be there to witness three of his children attend the first day of school, Scherlen’s fellow comrades stood in to help.
Together, the officers lined the school’s hallway and hugged Scherlen’s son Jackson, before he headed off to class on his first day of pre-K….
After losing his police officer dad, he has an army of stand-ins for this important first. #firstdayofschool2016 pic.twitter.com/BwtRMRuNmf
