The Edgewater Police Department and the entire Edgewater community are grieving the tragic and senseless loss of Officer David Jewell, a man whose life was defined by service, love, and unwavering dedication.
For the past two years, Officer Jewell proudly wore the Edgewater Police Department uniform, protecting and serving with honor. But beyond the badge, he was a loving husband, a devoted father, and a pillar of strength for his family. His commitment to his role as a provider was as steadfast as his commitment to the community he served.
Officer Jewell was known for his kindness, humility, and quiet strength. He brought light to dark days, laughter to tense moments, and compassion to every call. To his colleagues, he was a trusted teammate. To his friends, he was a loyal companion. And to his family, he was everything.
His sudden passing has left a void that words cannot fill. As the Edgewater Police Department mourns one of its own, we also recognize the profound impact this loss has had on his family—his wife, father-in-law, and young son, who now face an uncertain future without the man who held them together.
To honor Officer Jewell’s legacy and support those he loved most, a community fundraiser has been launched to provide ongoing care and financial support for his family. David was their sole provider, and now, in his absence, we have the opportunity to step in and help carry the weight.
💙 How You Can Help: Any contribution—no matter the amount—is a meaningful way to stand beside the Jewell family, the Edgewater Police Department, and the broader community as we navigate this unimaginable loss together. Your support will help ensure that Officer Jewell’s family is cared for in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
In the coming hours, details on how to donate will be shared through official Edgewater Police Department channels and The Edgewater Gazette. Additionally, Officer Jewell’s patrol vehicle will be parked outside the Edgewater Police Department for those who wish to stop by, reflect, and pay tribute to a man who gave so much.
We thank you for your compassion, your solidarity, and your willingness to honor a life that truly made a difference.
Forever EP698. Rest in peace, Officer Jewell. Your watch is complete.
