Sgt. Edward “Eddie” Dougherty passed away suddenly on March 12, 2022 at the age of 52. Eddie leaves behind his wife Margaret and two sons, Ryan and Liam. Eddie was a decorated veteran of the Chicago Police Department, having served the city for over 24 years, with the majority of his career spent in the 008th (Chicago Lawn) District.

 

Eddie suffered a medical issue in November 2021 that prevented him from returning to the job he loved. He was a dedicated co-worker, cherished friend, and brother who will forever be known for his love of family, his dog Cooper, the University of Alabama (Roll Tide!), and spirited discussions about current events. This fund will assist his family with educational expenses, bills, and immediate needs. Donations can also be made directly to Margaret Dougherty through the Chicago Police Federal Credit Union.

 

Thank you for your prayers, generosity, and support of the Dougherty family.
