Curtis Cheng has been remembered as a gentle man, who was devoted to his family, friends and the NSW police force.
Family, friends, police and politicians are farewelling Parramatta shooting victim Curtis Cheng at Sydney's St Mary's Cathedral.
Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione addressed Mr Cheng's funeral service more than two weeks after the police accountant was killed in a terror attack by a radicalised teenager outside Parramatta police headquarters.
"The gentlest of friends lost to an act of terror; a man, the manner of whose death stands in stark contrast to the gentle, honourable way he lived his life," Mr Scipione said on Saturday.
He said Mr Cheng was "so proud to be part of the force", and was cherished by his colleagues who said he was "nothing but positive."
Alpha Cheng told mourners that his father had worked two jobs to move his family to Australia from Hong Kong.

"Above all, dad was a family man and put us first."
Alpha said his father was a man people liked being around because of his calm outlook, but he was also fun and loved to dance.
He called on mourners to honour his father by following his example.
"Dad did everything in his own, quiet, little way," Alpha said.
"We need to do the little things for the people around us ... if we all do that little bit more as dad did in his life, I believe we can live in a more gentle and harmonious world.
"May he rest in peace."
Mr Cheng's wife Selina, daughter Zilvia and son Alpha, have been joined by family, friends, police and politicians, including NSW Premier Bruce Baird, at Sydney's St Mary's Cathedral for the service.
Mr Cheng, 58, died after 15-year-old Farhad Jabar shot him as he was leaving work on Friday October 2.
Jabar died after he was shot by police at the scene.
Two men who allegedly helped the 15-year-old Jabar carry out the attack were refused bail in court on Friday.
Two men charged over Parramatta shooting
Two men who allegedly helped the 15-year-old carry out the attack were refused bail in court on Friday.
It is alleged 22-year-old Talal Alameddine met 18-year-old Raban Alou hours before the shooting and gave him a .38 Smith & Wesson revolver.
Less than two hours later, emergency services were called to police headquarters in Parramatta in Sydney's west to treat Mr Cheng, 58, and his schoolboy gunman, who was shot by police.
Both died at the scene.
Alameddine damaged and hid a mobile phone and SIM card on October 7 with the intention of hindering inquiries into the shooting, court documents say.
Alameddine, who was charged with breaching a firearms prohibition order and hindering police, is due back in court on December 10.
Alou, who has been charged with a Commonwealth terrorism offence, will return to court on December 16.
