WATCH | Procession for fallen Euclid police officer Jacob Derbin

Funeral arrangements have been announced for Jacob Derbin, the Euclid police officer who was killed in the line of duty on Saturday night.

Calling hours will be on Friday, May 17, from 3-8 p.m. at A. Ripepi & Sons Funeral Home on Bagley Road in Middleburg Heights.

The funeral service for Derbin will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 18, at St. Columbkille Church on Broadview Road in Parma. The burial will be held following the service at St. Mary's Cemetery in Cuyahoga Heights.

Derbin joined the Euclid police force less than a year ago, following in the footsteps of his father, who also works as an officer with the department. The 23-year-old dedicated his life to public service and also served in the Army reserves.

Derbin had plans for the future, as his wedding was scheduled for July. But now his family, friends and loved ones are remembering his life and legacy.

“My heart absolutely breaks,” Euclid Police Chief Scott Meyer said during a press conference on Sunday night. “He’s 23 years old. I want the public to understand what this looks like. I want them to understand the repercussions of this violence. It is absolutely disgusting and it is affecting us all. My heart breaks."
