Dwayne Haskins, 24, was killed April 9 when he was struck and killed by a dump truck on I-595 in Fort Lauderdale at 6:27 a.m.
“We have never met or spoken to his wife , and we didn’t want our son’s funeral service to be the place we met her for the first time,” Dwayne Haskins Sr. and Tamara Haskins said in a statement to the site.‘Love of my life, forever’: Dwayne Haskins’ wife, Kalabrya, breaks silence following death of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Two other memorials are planned for Haskins this weekend. One will take place Saturday, per USA Today, in Rockaway, New Jersey and another at his former high school, Bullis School, in Potomac, Maryland.Haskins was a star at Ohio State before being selected 15th overall in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Washington Commanders. He was released by the team during the 2020 season and picked up by the Steelers going into the 2021 season.
That helped make him a semifinalist for the Maxwell Award, and he finished third in the Heisman voting. The Steelers signed him in January of 2021, and he spent last season behind Ben Roethlisberger and Mason Rudolph on the depth chart, and was inactive for all but one game. However, his big arm, big upside and what he was able to show in his one season with the team, was enough to convince the Steelers to re-sign him in early March. He was expected to compete with newly signed Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph for a shot to replace the retired Roethlisberger.
