A sad day in Drexel Hill as loved ones said their final goodbyes to Michael Garr, a little over a week after the teenager was fatally stabbed.
Over 200 people paid their final respects at Saint Charles Borromeo Church. During the service, everyone sang along the Eagle’s flight song in honor of the 15-year-old who was a big Philly sports fan.
"When they did the ‘Fly Eagles Fly,’ Michael would’ve love that," said William MacIntosh, friend of Michael’s brother. "It was everything Michael would’ve wanted. He doesn’t deserve to be in a casket. He should still be at home, playing video games with his friends." Loved ones shared in his obituary, Michael had a big heart, a great head of hair and an infectious smile."Michael was an amazing person an amazing spirit, and I hope they find whoever did this to him because he did not deserve this whatsoever," said MacIntosh. "What did Michael ever do to anyone. The kid was such a good kid. We’re all going to miss him so much."
