ABITA SPRINGS, La. -- A song of remembrance filled the air before hundreds of balloons filled the sky.

More than 100 friends and family gathered to remember Jason Glover outside his parent's Abita Springs home Saturday. The Iraq war veteran was 32 when he was killed in March.

“He was an American hero. That's how I want them to remember him,” said Glover’s mother, Beth.

Glover earned a Purple Heart in 2003, after nearly dying in an IED explosion. He wasn't killed until after his time in the service.

A decade after Glover returned from Iraq, he was shot in front of his Abita Springs home by a St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office deputy. The sheriff's office says Glover pointed a gun at the deputy, forcing the deputy to shoot.
