Portland, Oregon (CNN) Ricky John Best may not have realized he was putting his life on the line by coming to the aid of two young women being verbally harassed on a Portland, Oregon, commuter train. "He was filled with love for his family, friends, neighbors and countrymen," Monsignor Richard Paperini said at Best's funeral on Monday. Myhanh Best, Ricky Best's wife, and their children attend a committal service at Willamette National Cemetery on Monday. "Out of this tragedy comes Ricky Best's bringing together a community. You can see here people of all faiths, walks of life, ethnicities representing the diversity of Portland," Portland Archbishop Alexander K. Sample said.
