Tree Dedicated In Memory Of Cinnaminson's Sean Cullen

CINNAMINSON, NJ — A tree and a plaque were dedicated in honor of fallen New Jersey State Trooper Sean Cullen outside the Cinnaminson Post Office this week. Cullen, of Cinnaminson, was killed in an accident on 295 in West Deptford last year. He was struck by a passing driver while responding to the scene of an accident and active fire.

The idea for Tuesday morning’s ceremony came from Postmaster Tina Horner, according to the Courier Post. Cullen’s uncle, David, is in the postal service. He was among the friends and family, including Cullen’s fiancee and two children, who were among the 100 people in attendance during the ceremony.

Cullen’s fiancee Aryn McCormick thanked the community for their outpouring of support. "While our hearts our forever broken the outpouring of love and support is nothing short of amazing,” she said, according to 6 ABC. “I look forward to the years to come and showing our son how special their dad really was.”

Cullen is one of four officers who was recently recognized by the state during a ceremony in Ocean Grove. His name was also recently added to the large granite monument that bears the names of all officers from Burlington County law enforcement agencies who have died in the line of duty.

He was an all-American wrestler who graduated from Cinnaminson High School. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, emigrated to the United States with his family when he was a child, and graduated from Cinnaminson High School in 2003.
