Over 300 mourners gathered at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Smithtown for the service. His coffin, covered in an NYPD flag, was carried into the church by colleagues from the NYPD. Outside the church, ladder trucks from the Smithtown and Nesconset fire departments hung an American flag.

“The Smithtown Fire Department was honored to receive the request to provide an arch for the funeral,” fire department Public Information Officer Jeff Bressler said. “We offer our deepest condolences to the Luca Family.”

Luca, 41, was an NYPD officer and a resident of Smithtown.

He is survived by his wife Stephanie, son Caden and 22-month-old daughter Brea.

He was laid to rest at St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale following the funeral service.

An investigation into the kayaking incident is continuing.
