Jacqueline Reckling, who is pregnant with the couple's fourth child, told 'Fox & Friends' Tuesday that her late husband was the rock of their family.
Jacqueline Reckling said her family has lost its 'rock' after her husband was killed in the line of duty Saturday night, leaving behind three young children and one on the way. 'The world has been hearing about how the Oakland County Sheriff's Office lost a talented and dedicated detective this weekend. But more significantly, our family lost everything,' the grieving widow told 'Fox & Friends' Tuesday.
Jacqueline, who is pregnant with the couple's fourth child, said her young daughters – ages six, four and one – do not yet fully understand what happened to their father. 'He was everything that was good and truly an exceptional human being. He poured his entire heart into every aspect of his life, and he was selfless in giving. He put himself before others, and he always showed up,' she said. 'He loved being a detective, and he was a great detective for all those reasons.
Tunnel to Towers CEO Frank Siller has since promised to pay off the Recklings’ mortgage to help alleviate the financial burden Jacqueline now faces as a soon-to-be mother of four. The family also has a GoFundMe page for support. Jacqueline's message to Americans is to remember that police officers are just doing their jobs and going home to their families like everyone else. 'Brad was my best friend.
