Funeral services are being held on Friday for Honolulu police Officer Steve Favela.

Favela, a solo bike officer, died last month after an accident while escorting President George W. Bush's motorcade.

He left behind a wife and four young children.

The services at Borthwick Mortuary begin at 8 a.m.

At about 2 p.m., a motorcade procession will leave the mortuary, drive past the Honolulu Police Department headquarters and then head to Mililani Memorial Park.

Motorists are advised to expect delays along the procession route.

Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne and Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez will represent the president at the funeral.

Two other motorcycle officers also crashed in the accident. They were not seriously injured.

Favela was an eight-year veteran of the Honolulu Police Department.
