However, I did not know him into adulthood. Anyways everybody around me is sad and it's making my emotions go crazy.
My mom who is a 911 dispatcher doe the county took the wife's calls, he knew the trooper not only from growing up, but also as a former sheriff deputy and she dispatched for him. She is wrecked and wants to quit her job. And I just don't know how to handle all the Sadness around me.

I don't think one has to handle it. I think one simply has to let the others be sad.
They are separate. You can't fix it and it is not yours - I don't see that you have to do anything.
