Memorial Fund Set Up for N.J. State Trooper From Cinnaminson Killed in 295 Accident

Cinnaminson, NJ -- A GoFundMe memorial fund set up in honor of fallen New Jersey State Trooper Sean Cullen, of Cinnaminson, has raised over $60,000 in less than one day, already exceeding its goal of $50,000.

“We're totally floored by each and every person who has donated in Sean's memory,” a post on the Trooper Sean Cullen Memorial Fund read Thursday morning. “Your love and support has surpassed anything we could have fathomed.”

As of 9:30 a.m., the fund had raised $60,451 via donations from 815 people. The account has been active for less than a day.

On Thursday morning, State Police said the accident that resulted in the death of the 31-year-old Cullen remained under investigation.

Cullen died of head injuries following an accident on 295 in Gloucester County in which he was struck by a passing driver while responding to the scene of an accident and active fire Monday night.

The 22-year-old woman who hit Cullen stopped immediately, and has cooperated with police since that time, but no additional details on the investigation were available.

There will be viewings for Cullen at St. Charles Borromeo Church on Sunday afternoon, 2 p.m.-7 p.m. and Monday morning, 8 a.m.-11:30 a.m. The funeral mass follows at noon.

Cinnaminson Police advised drivers to anticipate major traffic delays in that area at those times, and to plan alternate routes of travel.

Cullen was an all-American wrestler who graduated from Cinnaminson High School. He was engaged to be married and had a son who is less than a year old.

“Thank you to our community, the troopers and our family in blue, old friends, new friends, brothers, sisters, not to mention those who are donating in memory of their own fallen family,” the Memorial Fund post read.
