The 31-year-old trooper was struck by a car while he was on the scene of a car fire along I-295 in West Deptford. He succumbed to his injuries hours later. Trooper Cullen fulfilled his life-long dream of joining the state police two years ago. He served before that on the Westhampton and Mount Holly police departments.

Many of those who turned out for the vigil knew Trooper Cullen or his family personally. He was a star college and high school wrestler from Cinnaminson. Clearly he touched many hearts in his short life. Police officers from across South Jersey came to salute their fallen comrade. Many told stories and shared fond memories.

Trooper Cullen is survived by his fiancee, a 9-month-old son, his mother and father as well as two brothers and a sister. His brother is also with the State Police. His father Eamon had the final words from the family.
