On Monday, police officer Montrell Jackson was remembered in death the same way he was celebrated in life: as a peacemaker. "Montrell was a man who truly loved being a policeman, and he loved this city that he protected," Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said at Jackson's funeral, held Monday afternoon at the Living Faith Christian Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Jackson, a 32-year-old new father and 10-year veteran of the police department, was one of three law enforcement officers slain on July 17, in what authorities have called a targeted attack on police. His friends and family gathered Monday to say their goodbyes.

Montrell Jackson's young son, Mason, turned 4 months old on Monday. It's a milestone his father - a Baton Rouge, Louisiana, police officer who died Sunday in what authorities have described as a "targeted" attack on law enforcement - never got to see. "It's kind of surreal, it really hasn't sunken in yet," Jackson's uncle Charles Cavalier tells People. "You know it's real, but it seems like it's a dream in a way." Speaking with Jackson's family, there are a few things you'll hear over and over again. He was a unifier, a defuser. He loved his city, where he was born and raised.
