'I will love you forever': Wife of fallen US Deputy Marshal Tommy Weeks gives emotional speech
Kelly Weeks, the wife of fallen U.S. Deputy Marshal Thomas Weeks, speaks during her husband's funeral, one week after he was killed in the line of duty.
The 13-year veteran of the U.S. Marshals Service was one of four men killed while serving arrest warrants at a home in east Charlotte on April 29. Five other officers were hurt during the incident, including three Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officers. The suspect, a convicted felon with a long criminal history across North Carolina, was killed during the standoff.
Weeks, 48, lived in Mooresville. He was part of the Carolinas Regional Fugitive Task Force. He spent the last 10 years of his career in Charlotte. Before joining the U.S. Marshals Service, he spent eight years with Customs and Border Protection.
"I don't think words that describe the amount of pain that the Marshals Service and all of its members, the court family, law enforcement in general, this community and communities around the country are feeling," U.S. Marshals Service Director Ronald Davis said.
He is survived by his wife and four children. Weeks' body was escorted to Mooresville last week. Large crowds gathered along the route to pay their respects to a fallen hero.
"I get very emotional when something like this happens," one man said. "I cried my eyes out like a baby. It's a sad thing. They have the toughest job in the world. They go to work and never know if they're going to come home."

Yes, no matter WHERE we live in the US!!🙏🏻💙 I'm heartbroken in Idaho!
Wow, what a classy woman. Her character so strong, so intelligent and compassionate. To be under such as this and give such a poignant eulogy is so powerful. Bless her and her family. ❤
My sincerest condolences to U. S. Deputy Weeks wife and his entire family, Law Enforcement family and loved ones
She’s going to be a new driving force for change, I can tell she’s already motivated and she’s not afraid to be told no.
OMG she is so strong and he would be so proud ..
Her strength, poise and courage have left me in tears and I'm barely two minutes in. Her hugs in the beginning felt like she was comforting rather than being comforted. I wish there was something more than well wishes or prayers I could offer. Much love and gratitude from a Union County, NC resident.

Rest In Peace US Deputy Marshall Weeks. My condolences to his family and friends
Strong woman. Whose gonna make it. But of course is hurting
Thank you for your service, U.S. Deputy Marshall Weeks. RIP My sympathies to the family, friends and coworkers.
What a strong and elegant woman. Her strength is unmatched. God Bless her and her family.
Heartbreaking ... my heart goes to the family to the city.... heart wrenching.. we live in a sad world today! We all need prayer in the awful world we live in today.
My father was a police officer for forty years. As a cops kid to this day, at 69 years old I still wave hello to the police. What she describes here of the type of man her husband was I can say it applies to my Dad and most of the cops I have known. Very few are bad apples, and what she describes as having the children learn to respect law enforcement is right on. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us. Rest In Peace Tommy.
Prayers for the Weeks family. Hoping that the community surrounds her with the love and resources that she will need going forward. I cannot imagine that type of loss...

Take your negativity elsewhere. You can’t tell someone how to grieve smh. Ignorant at its finest.

Well this guy wasn't eating a burger. They were serving two felony warrants for a real bad dude. Someone with am extensive criminal record who had no remorse for human life. So quit disrespecting the officers who went after this dude.
