Lt. Eric Lorenz fell to the ground in a skydiving accident Saturday in Lafayette County. He had been with the department for ten years.
The mayor of Trenton, Mo., has ordered all flags to be at half-staff. Mr Lorenz was married and the father of two young children.
On Saturday evening on its Facebook page, Grundy County Emergency Management offered the following post:
“Our hearts are heavy this morning as we grieve, We extend our thoughts to the family and all of our emergency services colleagues within the city of Trenton and Grundy County in this time of mourning.”
