This has to be tough on everyone involved.
It breaks my heart that Haskins’ mother and father weren’t at the funeral. His body will be transferred to New Jersey for another memorial service on Saturday. It is sad that they have never met his wife even though he had been married for almost a year now.
Haskins was gone way too soon and it was too much to bear for his wife Kalabrya at the funeral. She stayed strong throughout the ceremony but when they took the casket out of the church the emotions just were too much.
Dwayne Haskins’ wife, Kalabrya, was visibly emotional at the former NFL player’s memorial Friday … in tears over her husband’s casket as pallbearers removed it from the church. The scene was extremely somber … Kalabrya was seen wiping away tears throughout the ceremony after reportedly saying some words during it.
Urban Meyer and Ryan Shazier are among the many coaches, players and friends paying their respects to Dwayne Haskins on Friday … with those close to the late quarterback attending his memorial service in Pittsburgh. Haskins’ wife, Kalabrya, previously announced the Allegheny Center Alliance Church will be holding a “celebration of Dwayne’s life” on Friday for family, friends, coaches and teammates.
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith, Meyer — who coached Haskins on the Buckeyes from 2016 to 2018 — and current head football coach, Ryan Day, all made their way to Pennsylvania for the service. Steelers owner, Art Rooney II, and offensive coordinator, Matt Canada, also arrived to pay respects.
Friday’s ceremony is one of several that will be held for the Steelers QB — on Saturday, Haskins’ family will have a memorial at the Christ Church in his native New Jersey … and on Sunday, there will be a service at his former high school in Potomac, Maryland.
Please send all your thoughts and prayers to Haskins’ family and friends at this time because they will surely need it.
