'He was so much fun' | Family, friends and law enforcement remember fallen Stockton officer

"Jimmy had a burden for this city like I've never seen before," Tela Inn, Jimmy's wife said about her late husband.

STOCKTON, Calif. — Family, friends and law enforcement gathered together to say their final goodbyes and pay their respect to fallen Stockton Officer Jimmy Inn.

Jimmy, 30, worked with the Stockton Police Department since December of 2015. On May 11, he was shot and killed while responding to an domestic violence situation. 

The memorial service was held at Christian Life Center Church in Stockton. During the eulogy, Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones said Jimmy loved being a police officer for the city of Stockton. The two also shared a love of Star Wars, and Eric told Tela Inn, Jimmy's wife as well as an officer with the Stockton Police Department, that Jimmy's "force will always be with you."

Phaly Inn, Jimmy's father, was thankful for the support from the law enforcement community both near and far. 

"If we had more people like Jimmy, the world would definitely be a better place than it is now," Phaly said.

Anthony Taylor, one of Jimmy's partners on the Stockton Police Department, spoke about his initial unwillingness to speak at Jimmy's service. 

"It wasn’t because thousands of people would be watching here or on TV, but just trying to face the reality of my brother being gone," Anthony said.

However, there was laughter during Anthony's eulogy, a reminder of the humor Jimmy brought into people's lives. 

Tela shared those sentiments, saying she felt broken and alone when she met him. However, Jimmy made her smile and laugh. 

"'He was so much fun," Tela said. "I wanted to go everywhere with him."

She went on to echo the police chief's sentiment about Jimmy's love of Stockton. 

"Jimmy had a burden for this city like I've never seen before," Tela said, adding he always wanted to do more for the city of Stockton.
