Little Elm Police Department detective Jerry Walker was honored during a FC Dallas soccer match Saturday night in Frisco.
Walker was killed in the line of duty January 17th when police responded to a neighborhood disturbance call and the suspect, Rudy Garcia, started firing.
Police got into a standoff.
Walker was shot and killed in the confrontation.
Nearly six months later, this game day started with his eldest son, Darien, doing the traditional scarfing of the statue at Toyota Stadium.
Walker's daughter, Lexi, kicked-off the match against Toronto FC.
Darien, now the man of the family, admits he was trying not to cry during the tribute.
"It means a lot," said Darien, "Just opening our eyes and seeing exactly how many people cared for us really and care for my family and for my dad and what he did."
This show of appreciation for his father's service and sacrifice means more than he can say.
"You know, words don't express how we feel," said Darien. "There's a loss of words sometimes for things like that."
