On Monday morning, Santaquin Police Sgt. Bill Hooser was honored in a procession from Taylorsville to his hometown of Santaquin. Despite the rain, hundreds of police cruisers and ambulances accompanied his body on the 60-mile journey.
Hooser was "struck and killed" by a semi-truck driver early Sunday morning. An extensive manhunt led to the apprehension of the suspect.
“Everybody out there listening, if I can give them any advice, it’s to hold your loved one a little tighter. Make phone calls, tell them you love them — especially the ones you don’t get to see every day,” Hooser's brother told KSL on Sunday.
Hooser will be remembered as a "great man" devoted to his family and community.
