Ormond Beach Police Cpl. Michael Bakaysa loved the force — and upon his death, his fellow officers ensured the force was with him.
About 300 law enforcement vehicles and motor units made up the procession to Bakaysa's funeral service on Thursday, Dec. 7, held at the Daytona Beach Drive-in Christian Church. The community stood on the sidewalks on Granada Boulevard and watched the procession cross the bridge, the American flag flying high from the ladders of two Ormond Beach Fire Department trucks.
Bakaysa died on Friday, Dec. 1 after a medical incident following a training session two weeks prior. He was 54 years old and had worked for OBPD for over 27 years.
