Here’s a statement from the family after the service:

“We wanted to extend our gratitude to the community for their support leading up to today’s memorial service. Witnessing the seats of the arena filled with representatives from across the country was warming to our hearts as we came together to honor a beloved husband, father, son, and brother. We deeply appreciate all who have reached out and shown your love to our family during this difficult time. We will continue on this difficult journey together privately as a family.”
