Services set for fallen state trooper Sherrill

Oct. 31—The life of New Hampshire State Trooper Jesse Sherrill will be celebrated at the SNHU Arena on Wednesday.

Tributes to Sherrill continued to pour in over the weekend. Gov. Chris Sununu has directed flags to remain at half-staff on all public buildings and grounds in the state through sunset on Wednesday.

Sherrill, 44, was killed shortly after midnight Thursday when a northbound tractor-trailer on Interstate 95 stuck his state police cruiser. Sherrill was on an overnight traffic detail when the crash happened.

The 19-year state police veteran served as the assistant troop commander of Troop A in Epping.

Sherrill, who lived in Barrington, was very active with the Seacoast United Baseball League and the Barrington Baseball League. He leaves behind his wife, two children, parents and his brother.

As of Sunday at 5 p.m., $159,218 has been raised through the Greg Hill Foundation in support of Sherrill's family.

The celebration will take place at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the SNHU Arena at 555 Elm St. The event is open to the public.

A private burial will follow for family only and will not be open to the public.
