A touching tribute to a 3-year-old boy who was tragically killed in a lawnmower accident in Snohomish County last week.

Jack Ruben Laulainen was riding on his dad's lap on the lawnmower when he fell and was run over.

Family and loved ones held a funeral for Jack in Monroe Wednesday, and a string of semi-trucks held the funeral procession of "Jack's last ride."

Jack loved being around trucks and always wanted to be a truck driver, said Jack's father, Tim Lailainen.

I wanted to give him one last ride, he said.

Jack's father led the procession, driving a green semi truck with Jack's casket in the back.

The procession went from Paradise Lake Road in Maltby on 522 to Highway 2. Jack was laid to rest at Monroe IOOF cemetery.
