With heavy hearts, the Massachusetts State Police announce the unexpected death of Trooper Jacob Mick who died from injuries sustained in an off-duty motorcycle crash in Grafton.
A member of the 88th Recruit Training Troop assigned to the Holden Barracks, the life of this 31-year-old Northboro native has been cut short by this enormous tragedy.
Speaking of the late Trooper, the Superintendent of the State Police, Colonel Geoffrey Noble said, “Together, we mourn Trooper Jacob Mick, and extend our deepest sympathies to his wife, their infant daughter, his family, and all who loved him. He was a proud Trooper and public servant who never hesitated to answer the call. We remember and honor Trooper Mick’s years of service, and all he gave to the Commonwealth as well as to the Department.”
Trooper Mick graduated from the Massachusetts State Police Academy in 2023.
The facts and the circumstances of the crash remain under investigation by the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office.
At this time, the Mick Family requests privacy as they grieve. Further information will be provided as it becomes available.
I'm personally devastated by this. I'm not 100% sure, but this young Trooper looks like the young off duty trooper who assisted me at the scene of a motorcycle accident in Grafton last October. I was the first to arrive and together we applied first aid including a tourniquet. I'll never forget his calm professionalism and compassion.
Whether this is the same trooper or not, it makes no difference. This is a devastating loss for his loved ones, the Commonwealth and all of us.
Rest in peace Trooper.
