Former USC LB Kent Carter died last week after a motorcycle collision in Orange County.
Carter, 60, lettered in football in 1970 and '71 and went on to play a season with the New England Patriots.
After his football career, Carter served as an LAPD officer for nearly 30 years.
"Kent was the most gracious, warm and considerate individual I have ever met," Lt. Andrew Neiman of Emergency Operations Division told a myFOXla.com.
He loved his family, loved life and was looking forward to a wonderful retirement in a year," Neiman continued. "His passing will create a huge void in the department."
The funeral is Tuesday (12/21) at Calvary Chapel Golden Springs in Diamond Bar.

I just learned of Kent's death today.
He was my Bestman in 1970 before I went into the Airforce. We both attended Catherdral High.
He really was a "Best Man."
