NEW YORK – NYPD Det. Steven McDonald, who became an iconic symbol of courage, faith and forgiveness after getting paralyzed 30 years ago on the job, has died.
McDonald, 59, died shortly after 1 p.m. Tuesday at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, where he had been on life support after suffering a massive heart attack at his home Friday.
A man of faith who attended Mass frequently, his wife's cousin — an Irish priest — said Mass was held for the family at McDonald's hospital bedside the day after his heart attack.
McDonald's extended family began the process of saying goodbye, one by one, Tuesday morning.
Following news of his death, fellow officers offered the family their condolences, including one from an NYPD official who said, "Steve is now an angel."
McDonald's funeral will be on Friday at St. Patrick's Cathedral, and will be celebrated by Timothy Cardinal Dolan. The wake will be held next to the church, at the Rockville Centre Community Center.
The first-grade detective was paralyzed from the neck down in 1986 after he was shot by a teen bicycle thief in Central Park. He is one of the best-known NYPD officers of the past three decades. In the early days after his catastrophic injury, it wasn’t certain he would survive days, much less years. Breathing with the help of a respirator and using a wheelchair, he had remained on active duty with the department, often traveling from precinct to precinct to address young cops.
McDonald’s only child, Conor, 29, followed him into the NYPD, and Steven McDonald watched proudly as his son was promoted to detective, and later sergeant in 2016.
PIX11 found a moving Facebook video from this past July 12 — the 30th anniversary of McDonald's shooting. His son, Conor, posted it, writing "Dad wanted to say a few words."
"It's Steven McDonald speaking from my home out on Long Island," the detective said, sitting in his wheelchair with the respirator that helped him breathe. "I wanted to say thank you for the support and the help that you've given me all these years. 30 years. A long time. I never thought I'd be around this long. I'm very proud to be a part of the New York City Police Department — to be a friend, I'd like to believe — to all of you."
The video concluded with McDonald relaying that the support received by his family had been so special to his wife, Patricia Ann, and their son.
McDonald's wife was three months pregnant on July 12, 1986, when McDonald was shot in Central Park.
Their son, Conor, was born in January 1987 and will turn 30 years old later this month.
McDonald and his wife, who is the mayor of Malverne, Long Island, impressed New Yorkers with their amazing faith and his determination in the face of grievous injuries.
McDonald even forgave the young shooter, Shavod Jones.
Ironically, Jones was fatally hit by a car, three days after he was released from prison in September 1995. He died just a short distance from the shooting scene in Central Park.
Conor McDonald joined the NYPD in July 2010.
McDonald was very close to the late FDNY Chaplain, Rev. Mychal Judge. They made peace trips to Northern Ireland. Father Judge was the first listed casualty of the 9/11 attacks. Steven McDonald started a walk of remembrance in Judge’s honor in 2002.
Now an entire department mourns a brother in blue who was there for every funeral and every officer in need.
