The families and the San Diego Police Department have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor Detectives Ryan Park and Jamie Huntley-Park for their service to San Diego and Country. It will be our privilege to do so.
Ryan and Jamie are both decorated detectives of the San Diego Police Department.. The couple and pair of police detectives lost their lives in a wrong-way car crash. They spent their lives serving and protecting the city. They met in the police academy in April 2012 and married in 2016. The couple was off-duty at the time of the crash.
Jamie was a successful hockey player, a hockey referee, coach and even refereed Olympic trial games, She was an outstanding officer and detective who was assigned to the southern division.
Ryan was a remarkable patrol officer, who quickly assembled through ranks and became a homicide detective assigned to team one of the homicide team.
The department is quoted as saying about them "They really were embraced by so many people, and that's why this is so devastating to all the police officers and the dispatchers and for the firefighters that they knew," Alex Morrison, group director of San Diego Angels, told CBS/CW affiliate KFMB. "Ryan was Jamie's world, and he was amazing. He was so devoted and loving, fun and adventuresome. He was a great runner and would do anything for his wife, absolutely anything. It was one of the sweetest things."
"Ryan and Jamie completed each other in every possible way, and we take comfort knowing that he is with his soulmate," Park's brother Justin added in a statement. "They did everything together, and they always had a little friendly competition. Right now, we picture them traveling all over heaven, walking among the clouds together, sipping on a beer and some whisky or scotch, which Jamie loved to collect."
Ryan and Jamie are survived by parents, siblings, extended family members, and of course their family in the San Diego Police Department. They are so painfully missed and will never be forgotten.
