Diller, 31, was shot and ******* in the line of duty on Monday during a traffic stop.

His widow Stephanie Diller celebrated his dedication as a father, police officer and husband. “He wasn’t the type to sugarcoat anything, so I won’t sugarcoat this. This is devastating. It’s a devastating and tragic loss,” she said.

The somber event, held at Saint Rose of Lima Roman ********* ******* in Massapequa Park, New York, was marked by the mournful cry of bagpipes and drums.

“The city is mourning a cop. The tens of thousands of police officers outside are mourning a brother in arms. But Stephanie and Ryan are mourning their everything,” said Rev. Michael Duffy during the service, naming Diller’s surviving wife and 1-year-old son.

The NYPD reports Jonathan Diller and his partner were investigating an illegally parked SUV when a passenger in the car, Guy Rivera, shot and ******* Diller. The slain officer’s partner returned *****, wounding Rivera.

Adams said at the ******** Saturday that even after he had been shot, Diller fought back and disarmed Rivera.

“He ran towards danger, taking risks, making arrests and undoubtedly saving lives,” Adams said.
