KOKOMO, Ind. (WISH) — Funeral services are set to begin Friday morning for an Indiana State trooper who died in the line of duty.

Law enforcement officers, family, friends and community members have gathered at Crossroads Community Church in Kokomo to honor the life of ISP Trooper Peter Stephan.

The funeral service at the church located at 4254 S 00 EW will begin at 11 a.m.

Trooper Stephan, 27, died in a car crash while responding to a call in Tippecanoe County on October 11.

Stephan left behind a wife and a 5-month-old daughter.

Following the funeral service, a burial will take place at Russiaville Cemetery.
