SNIPPPET: “SEATTLE - Seattle Police Officer Timothy Brenton was remembered as a hero and a teacher at a solemn funeral attended by thousands Friday at Seattle’s Key Arena.

The funeral began with remarks by Deputy Chief Clark Kimerer and a moment of silence in the somber arena for the fallen officer who was killed by a gunman who still is at large.

“In our memorial today we seek to give back to Tim some measure of the devotion, humanity and selflessness that he gave to each of us,” Kimerer said. “The ceremonies of honor we undertake today represent our human desire to find meaning in unfathomable tragedy.”

He remembered Brenton as a teacher, a hero, and a “man of quiet dignity and virtue ... an upright courageous man, a good father, son, husband, brother and friend.”

The ceremony for Brenton followed a long memorial procession Friday morning of more than 1,000 law enforcement officers and firefighters from throughout the region.

Brenton’s family arrived under police escort just before 9 a.m. and, as the sun broke through the clouds, the procession began its path through the city on the way to KeyArena.”
