Brian Christopher’s Funeral

Brian Christopher’s funeral was held Friday in Memphis. Friends and family made a custom-made Pittsburgh Steelers/Grand Master Sexay casket for him.

His grave was also decorated in Steelers logos and a wagon of championship belts also was present at his funeral.

“This is gotta be one of the toughest days of my life and if I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times,” Lawler said on Friday. “They say the toughest thing for anybody to do is have to bury a child and that’s what we’re going through today.”

“My fiance Lauren and I are standing next to the casket and I keep looking down almost expecting Brian to sit up and start laughing,” Lawler continued. “It’s just tough.”
