However, his parents Dwayne Sr. and Tamara won’t be there because of his wife Kalabrya. “We have never met or spoken to the wife, and we didn’t want our son’s funeral service to be the place we met her for the first time,” the couple told USA Today about their decision to skip the funeral.

This is maybe the most heartbreaking development that we’ve had from this entire situation. I truly don’t understand skipping your child’s funeral.
If I had a kid who died, you would need the military to keep me out of the church as they were buried, and I know my parents feel the same way.

I don’t care if you know his wife or not. It shouldn’t matter. Friday is about putting a young man to rest decades before he should have passed onto the other side.
It’s not about your nonexistent relationship with his wife. That can be dealt with at a different time.
