The sound of engines roared through Butler County streets Sunday, with flags waving in the wind, all for one man.

The Chief McIntire Thunder Run returned for its third year, once again bringing the community together to honor Chief Justin McIntire, who was killed in the line of duty on Jan. 2, 2023 . Chief McIntire served as the police chief for Brackenridge before the tragedy.

Chief McIntire was remembered as a man who loved to hunt and fish. His brother, Brandon McIntire, proudly wore a "Huckabuck" shirt in his honor, ensuring his love for hunting was on display.

Most of all, his family says he loved to serve his community.

"Everything gives you a reminder. Images that run through your head constantly, randomly, that you can't control," said his brother-in-law, Matt Black.
