The funeral for a Weld County Sheriff’s deputy who was killed by a hit-and-run driver will be held Saturday in Loveland. The service is not open to the public, but it will be live-streamed. People are urged to line portions of a procession route in tribute to the deputy.

The funeral service for Deputy Alexis Hein-Nutz will be at 10 a.m. Saturday at Foundations Church, 1380 Denver Ave., the sheriff’s office announced. Foundations Church will live-stream the funeral on its website.

Hein-Nutz, 24, who served with the sheriff’s office since 2018, was struck and killed in a hit-and-run crash Sunday outside Greeley. She was riding her motorcycle to work when she was hit.
