When Louisiana State Police Tpr. Stephen Vincent died at the hands of a motorist back in August of this year, he left behind one son, Ethan, age 9.

And what he left behind was an incredible legacy as a highly-respected law enforcement officer. Photographer April Reeves of Lafayette used that legacy as a basis for an incredible series of images. Reeves credited Louisiana State Police with the idea to have Ethan wear his father's hat and pose with his casket flag.

The results speak for themselves. You can check out the entire series of photos below on Reeves' Facebook page.
