A Vancouver pilot who was killed in a helicopter crash will be buried Monday morning at the Air Force Academy in Colorado.

The funeral service for Capt. Christopher Stover will be at 10 a.m. (mountain time) in the Cadet Chapel. It will be followed by a graveside service in the Air Force Academy Cemetery, academy spokesman Meade Warthen said.

Stover, 28, was a 2004 graduate of Evergreen High School. His parents are Maribel and Richard Stover of Vancouver.

The 2008 graduate of the Air Force Academy and three other airmen died on Jan. 7 when their HH-60 helicopter crashed during a low-level training flight over a coastal wetland near Salthouse, England.

Stover was with the U.S. Air Force’s 56th Rescue Squadron, based at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, England.
