When a 20-year-old veteran lost his life in the line of duty, many cops whose lives he had touched in some way or another came out to escort his daughter on her first day of kindergarten to honor him. It did not matter that the veteran had passed months before. August 8, 2022, may have been an ordinary day for many people on planet Earth; however, for Anna Stolinsky, it was a milestone. It was the very first day she would kick off her education by joining her kindergarten class.

Every parent hopes to be there to see such milestones, but Anna’s father, Police Lt. Kevin Stolinsky, could not make it this time. The proud father passed away in November 2021 after a medical emergency while he was at work.

Kevin Stolinsky was a veteran with more than two decades of experience in La Vergne. He had created memories, connections, bonds, and a family of his own in those years. So when he passed on, those lives he had touched while he was alive felt the loss.

He was an excellent man to most, but nobody will miss him more than his daughter Anna and her mother, Casey Stolinsky. After his death, his friends and family gathered together and gave him a big send-off at his funeral.
