Sgt. Christopher Callan Death | Obituary – Sgt. Christopher Callan sadly died over the weekend due to skydiving accident in Danielson, Connecticut.
Sgt. Christopher Callan, a 15-year veteran of the force, succumbed to his injuries Saturday morning, according to the department. He leaves behind three children, along with his mother, father and sister.
Police say Sgt. Callan was also a member of the Rhode Island National Guard and served numerous tours of duty overseas as a member of the U.S. Army Special Forces “Green Berets.”
He served as Jump Master for the National Guard’s annual Leapfest competition at URI, according to police.
“Sergeant Callan was an exemplary officer,” police said in a news release, adding that he “developed and maintained an extensive network of friends and colleagues worldwide due to his military and police service.”
The incident report from Connecticut State Police says troopers responded to Danielson Airport just before 11 a.m. Saturday for a “report of a skydiver that sustained the injury during a rough landing on the airfield.” He was then taken to Day Kimball Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
We express our sympathy and deepest condolences to Callan’s family today and in the days, weeks, months, and years that are to come as they cope with his passing. May his soul rest in peace.
