Josh and his partner were on patrol during the evening of February 8 when they noticed a suspicious male in the 1100 block of Edgerton Street. When the officers turned their squad around, the teen fled on foot. Josh pursued and apprehended the suspect and the juvenile was issued a citation for fleeing police and violating curfew.

Shortly after that, Josh became ill. He was transported to Regions Hospital where he was treated for a heart attack. He died 8 days later. 

During his 5 years with the Department, Josh earned 16 commendations and letters of recognition, including two Life Saving Awards.

Michael, Archangel, Patron Saint
of the Police, pray for Josh

Josh is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his father, Tim Lynaugh, who is a retired St. Paul police sergeant.

Thank you for serving, Josh. 

Pray for all who die as a result of doing their jobs. 

Let us pray that Josh Lynaugh is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
