TULARE COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — Funeral services have been announced for Parlier Police Officer Jesus Dario Corona, killed Sunday in a Tulare County crash.
The 29-year-old leaves behind his almost 6-year-old daughter, wife, parents and siblings.
Corona served as a patrol and Parlier High School resource officer for the last two years, making his mark on a now-mourning community.
“There are 21 officers at the Parlier Police Department — now there are 20,” says Parlier Police Interim Chief Michael Salvador. “They’re hurting just as bad.”
He says Corona left a lasting impression, always showing up with a million-dollar smile.
“Over the 38-plus years I’ve been in this business, I’ve always been the one who made the call,” Salvador said. “Today, I got to receive it. Tough day. Very tough day.”
The chief says the toughest part was notifying Corona’s family, less than a week before his daughter’s 6th birthday.
“They lost a husband,” he said. “They lost a father. They lost a son. They lost a brother in the prime of his life. I can’t fathom how they feel tonight.”
