Ryan Albin was remembered on July 6 as an Illinois State Police (ISP) trooper who strived to help others, according to an ISP press release.
“Ryan took such pride in serving and protecting," ISP Director Leo Schmitz said in his eulogy, according to the release. "Over and over, he worked to make a difference to positively impact the citizens of Illinois. It will take time to heal. It will take time to rebuild. But Ryan would want us to carry on.”
Albin was killed on June 28 when his car collided with a box truck as both vehicles entered a construction zone on Interstate 74 near Farmer City.
