A funeral will be held Dec. 8 for Honolulu police motorcycle officer Steve Favela, who suffered fatal injuries while escorting President Bush's motorcade Nov. 21.

Visitation is from 9 a.m. until noon at Borthwick Mortuary, and services will begin at noon. It will be followed by a procession from Borthwick, past police headquarters on Alapa'i Street and on to Mililani Memorial Park in Waipi'o.

Favela died at 9:55 a.m. Sunday from injuries he suffered at Hickam Air Force Base Nov. 21 when he crashed on a rain-slickened road as he escorted the president's motorcade to a breakfast with troops.

He was one of three motorcycle officers who crashed near a bend along O'Malley Boulevard as the motorcade left Hickam. The two other officers were treated at a hospital and released.

Favela was hospitalized with internal injuries, including a torn spleen.

Favela was the 12th Honolulu motorcycle officer to die in the line of duty since 1923.

A fund for his family and children was set up Tuesday at First Hawaiian Bank.

Anyone wishing to participate can donate to "Friends of Steve Favela" at any First Hawaiian Bank branch.

Honolulu police officers also are chipping in with their own fundraising efforts to benefit Favela's four children.
