PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Funeral arrangements have been set for a Florida Highway Patrol trooper who was killed in the line of duty last Friday in St. Lucie County.

Trooper Zachary Fink's funeral will be held Feb. 12 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Christ Fellowship Church along Southwest Village Parkway in Port St. Lucie.

The service is open to the following individuals:

  • Friends and family of Fink
  • Law enforcement or law enforcement personnel
  • State agency personnel 
  • Members of the public

The service will be livestreamed on Fink's memorial page or by visiting the Christ Fellowship Church website.

Fink, 26, was killed while pursuing and trying to stop a fleeing felon who was driving recklessly and at high speeds on Interstate 95, authorities said.

A procession was held Monday for Fink that transferred his body from the St. Lucie County Medical Examiner's Office to Aycock Funeral Home in Port St. Lucie.

On Friday, Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered flags of the United States and the State of Florida to be flown at half-staff at the St. Lucie County Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles in Port St. Lucie, the St. Lucie County Courthouse in Fort Pierce and City Hall of Port St. Lucie from sunrise to sunset Monday.

Fink is being remembered by friends and family members for his energy, enthusiasm for life and love of the outdoors.

The suspect, Michael Addison, 30, faces a slew of charges, including two counts of vehicular homicide, for his alleged role in the crash that took the life of Fink and a truck driver.
