Final salute to Mass. State Police Trooper Kevin Trainor

A funeral is being held Wednesday for Massachusetts State Police Trooper Kevin Trainor, who was killed in a wrong-way crash in Lynnfield last week. Trainor, 30, died early Wednesday morning after his police vehicle was struck by a wrong-way driver on Route 1 in Lynnfield. The wrong-way driver also died in the crash.Hundreds of law enforcement officers from Massachusetts and across the country are gathered at St. James Church in Salem.Gov. Maura Healey spoke and addressed Trainor's mother, Barbara, his fiancée, Jessica, and several siblings.“I want you to know, Barbara, that you did everything right. You raised a hero. You raised a son who was drawn to service, a son who gave his life so others could live,” Healey said. Trainor was traveling home from work along Route 1 one week ago when he heard reports about the wrong-way driver. While Trainor was on his way to investigate the incident, his cruiser was struck."Trooper Trainor laid down his life so others could live theirs. He did that not by chance, but by choice. The choice to serve and protect, no matter the risk, and that is what makes him a true hero," Healey said.Video Below: Gov. Maura Healey honors Trooper TrainorMassachusetts State Police Col. Geoffrey Noble said in Trainor's far too short time with us, he earned an "exceptional" reputation."Kevin knew what it meant to be a state trooper -- to be a part of something bigger than him, bigger than all of us -- that sense of purpose, that sense of humanity that comes with a life of service," Noble said.

The department will also present the flag that drapes over Trainor's casket to the trooper's mother. Additional cover flags will be given to Trainor's fiancée and siblings. State Police will lead a riderless horse with boots in the stirrups, symbolizing the fallen trooper making his final journey home. After a pipe and drum performance of Amazing Grace, a police radio will transmit the last and final dispatch call for Trainor that will go unanswered. Mourners have been leaving flowers and notes of gratitude on a state police cruiser that sits outside the Massachusetts State Police barracks in Danvers, where he worked.Hundreds of members of state police and various other departments gathered Tuesday at the Conway-Cahill-Brodeur Funeral Home in Peabody for Trainor's wake. Trainor began his career as a corrections officer in Essex County and has been with the Massachusetts State Police since his graduation from the academy in 2023."I was always both impressed and scared by the amount of courage you showed both on and off the job," his fiancée wrote in a social media post. "Gone but never forgotten until we meet again, my love." Video below: Fiancée remembers Trooper Trainor
