It was a solemn procession from Stanford to Oakdale on Nov. 4 as multiple first responders accompanied Jett Trunnell, 15, to Oakdale Riverbank Memorial Chapel on West F Street in Oakdale. The teen passed following a lengthy battle against cancer – Osteosarcoma – and had made many friends among the ranks of firefighters, police, EMTs and more during his illness. Residents lined the streets of Oakdale to welcome him home.
