CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. — A funeral for Citrus County Deputy Andres “Andy” Lahera will be held next Sunday. The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office is inviting the public to attend.
It will take place at Seven Rivers Church in Lecanto at 2:30 p.m. A graveside service will follow the memorial.
Lahera was directing traffic at a high school graduation two years ago when he was hit by a car. It left him with serious brain and spinal injuries.
His case spurred lawmakers to pass the Andy Lahera Act, providing full premium coverage to all law enforcement officers injured in the line of duty.
He spent months in the hospital and went through rehab before he died Thursday.
The 19-year-old driver who hit Lahera was not charged.
