A young Alabama police officer was killed in a “freak” motorcycle crash just two weeks after he married his wife and bought their first home, his heartbroken widow revealed.

Dakota Davis, 25, died after being struck on an Autauga County highway Monday in a wreck his wife had feared would occur when he bought the bike.

“I’m waiting for him to walk through the doors,” his wife, Chloe Greiner-Davis, told 12 WSFA.

“I just want him to know that I love him. So much. I just love him so much.”

The corporal with the Prattville Police Department was off duty when he was struck by a Chevrolet Tahoe at 3:30 p.m., Alabama State Troopers said.

Davis was thrown from the motorcycle and pronounced dead on the scene.

There were no arrests made as officials continued investigating the crash.

Greiner-Davis had major safety concerns about the motorcycle — but accepted that her husband was pursuing a passion he harbored since he was a kid.

“I was so upset that he got a motorcycle, but I knew it was his calling,” she told the local outlet.

“My biggest thing was you could be the best driver on this planet, but other people just don’t know how to drive.”

She and Davis’ father described the tragedy as a “freak” accident, saying no one was to blame for the newlywed’s death.

The officer was a family man who found purpose in his job and serving the public, his grieving father said.

“A man of few words, and he meant what he said. Deep into the heart. He didn’t say it unless he meant it,” said Paul Davis.

“Very outgoing young man, but a man of few words. You know, he loved his family, loved playing sports.”

The newlyweds had tied the knot on Oct. 10 — and had bought their first home just weeks earlier, the family said in an online fundraiser.

A funeral for Davis was held Saturday morning — landing on what his family said was his favorite Halloween.

The Prattville Police Department honored the fallen officer with a procession that carried his body to the church for the service.
