Sgt. Eric Edbrooke

The Shively Police Department is deeply saddened to inform you that Sgt. Eric Edbrooke passed away today. As many of you may know, Eric was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in June of 2021. Through several rounds of chemo treatment and visits with doctors, Sgt. Edbrooke did everything he could to overcome his diagnosis. Although this was extremely difficult for him and his family, Eric always stayed positive and upbeat about his condition. While we are saddened by this loss, we find comfort in him no longer having to suffer. Additional details about his arrangements will be released as they become available. Sgt. Edbrooke, you will be missed and never forgotten. Rest in peace brother.
