Two Edmonton police officers killed in line of duty were remembered fondly Monday by family members and colleagues at a regimental funeral attended by thousands of officers from across Canada.
Jordan and Ryan's caps, badges and medals were placed atop the coffins.
"What we have in common is that we were able to experience Travis: his kindness, contagious joy and unparalleled positivity, even in the face of hardships," Sampson said. Jordan's widow, Annie Jordan, stood silently beside EPS chaplain Roy Langer as Langer delivered words she had written. She said her husband had an unwavering loyalty to his squad mates and was excited to take every call.

"His legacy is that he's a small town boy from Fox Creek and Spruce Grove, Alta., who followed his dreams and made the entire world notice."She said he had a generous soul and a personality that captured everyone's attention and heart.
