Hardin County Firefighter Remembered in Service

Kentucky News Network photo

Glendale firefighter Jonathan French was eulogized in Elizabethtown, less than a week after his tragic death along I-65.

French was killed and his mother, Linda, also a firefighter, was injured when a semi hit their fire engine as they battled a car fire along the Interstate last Wednesday.

His funeral service was held at Elizabethtown's First Christian Church. The eulogy was delivered by French's uncle, Glendale Fire Chief Richie Peters who said Jonathan had wanted to stick close to him ever since he was young.

Glendale Reverend Doug Sanders said Jonathan was a great example of someone who practiced "selfless service" during his brief life.
