The funeral for Corey Comperatore, the father of two and volunteer firefighter killed in the shooting at the Trump rally in Butler, Pa., will take place on Friday at the church where he was a longtime member.
Corey Comperatore, 50, died at the rally on Saturday after a gunman on a rooftop attempted to assassinate former President Donald J. Trump. In Mr. Comperatore's final moments, he dove to shield his family members who had accompanied him to the rally, according to Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania.
The funeral arrangements will include a public visitation on Thursday in Freeport, Pa. Mr. Fehl told congregants to expect large crowds, security and media. The funeral on Friday morning will be a private event for family and friends.
Friends said that Mr. Comperatore was devoted to his wife, Helen, and daughters, Allyson, 27, and Kaylee, 24. He loved to fish and took meticulous care of his cars, boat and lawn.
