August 8, 2022, was a milestone day for Anna Stolinsky as she embarked on her educational journey, joining her kindergarten class. However, this special moment was bittersweet, as her father, Police Lt. Kevin Stolinsky, was not there to share it with her. Lt. Stolinsky, a 20-year veteran, had passed away in November 2021 after a medical emergency while on duty.
To honor their fallen colleague and support his family, a group of police officers came together to escort Anna to her first day of kindergarten. This heartfelt gesture was a testament to the impact Lt. Stolinsky had on the lives of those around him. With over two decades of service in La Vergne, he had built strong connections and created lasting memories with his community.
The loss of Lt. Stolinsky was deeply felt by all who knew him, but none more so than his daughter Anna and wife Casey. As they navigated this difficult time, they were surrounded by the love and support of their community. The police escort on Anna’s first day of kindergarten was a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between Lt. Stolinsky and his fellow officers, as well as the community he had served.
As Anna began her educational journey, she was surrounded by the men and women who had been touched by her father’s life and service. The police escort was a beautiful tribute to Lt. Stolinsky’s memory, and a reminder to Anna that she would always be supported and loved.
