Wilhelm honored Quick by posthumously awarding him the Distinguished Service Medal, which he presented to the officer's mother. Dispatchers also aired Quick's ceremonial final radio call.
"PR11, Capt. Kevin Wayne Quick, end of watch, February 17, 2014. Rest in peace, sir."
Quick's neice, Allison, recited a poem she wrote for her uncle.
"Love is kind words. Love is helping someone up. Love is always keeping Kevin's memory alive. Love is in the air," she read.
The police departments represented at the service include Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Arlington, Lake Monticello, Petersburg, Fredericksburg and West Virginia State Police.
"No matter what he had going on with his life, he always had a smile on his face and kind words in his heart," Wilhelm said.
A number of officers in attendance saluted Quick's hearse as it left the arena.
