All Results Showing at top of page

I am using server_processing.php, it connects and returns data, however all rows are returned at the top the page, then the datatables display correctly underneath.

At the top of the page I get this:(I am showing 2 of 2190 results which display)

{"sEcho":0,"iTotalRecords":"2190","iTotalDisplayRecords":"2190","aaData":[["Jonathan","D.","Davis","U. S. Marine","34","2\/22\/2013","Kayenta","Arizona"],["Mark","H.","Schoonhoven","U. S. Army","38","1\/20\/2013","Plainwell","Michigan"]

The page can be viewed at https://www.egoodbyes.com/site/pagin.php

The js I have is

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#table_id').dataTable( {
        "bProcessing": true,
        "bServerSide": true,
        "sAjaxSource": "server_processing.php"
    } );
} );

The HTML table

<table id="table_id"  class="display">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>First Name</th>
            <th>MI</th>
            <th>Last Name</th>
            <th>Branch of Service</th>
             <th>Age</th>
              <th>Date of Death</th>
               <th>Town</th>
               <th>State</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
 <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
             <td></td>
            <td></td>
             <td></td>
            <td></td>
             <td></td>

           
        </tr>

    </tbody>
</table>

And the server_processing is

Can anyone point me to the error of my ways?

Thank you
