A funeral service for the British Columbia police officer who died in an avalanche last week has heard he was a selfless person with a wicked sense of humour.

Constable Wade Tittemore was killed and his co-worker was badly injured when the slide came down while they were skiing in BC's backcountry.

Speaking at the service today, Nelson Chief Constable Donovan Fisher says Tittemore was dedicated and that's why he has been posthumously promoted to detective.

Tittemore, who was 43 years old, had been with Nelson police for four years and the Calgary Police Service for 11 years before that.
