Services will be held this weekend to honor the life of Master Trooper Adam Gaubert, who was killed in the line of duty Saturday. His funeral will be held Saturday morning at St. George Catholic Church in Baton Rouge. Trooper Kate Stegall said visitation will be Friday evening at Resthaven Funeral home and on Saturday morning before the 11 am service.
“There will be a procession on Saturday morning from Resthaven Funeral home to the St. George Catholic Church,” said Stegall.
47-year-old Gaubert was a 19-year veteran of the agency and was one of the two fatalities in a multi-parish shooting spree last Saturday. Gaubert’s body wasn’t discovered in his vehicle until 15 hours after his shooting in Ascension Parish. Stegall said it’s been a difficult time for everyone who knew him.
“Whether you knew him or not there’s only been good things to say about him, and it’s a very hard time for the agency,’ said Stegall.
Those attending services for Gaubert are asked to use a face mask and socially distance. Stegall said the public can show their support for Trooper Gaubert and his family by lining the procession route from the funeral home to the St. George Catholic.
“He made the ultimate sacrifice, and we want to give him the best honor possible,” said Stegall.
The funeral will also be live-streamed Saturday on LSP’s Facebook page.
