Today’s super hot topic is Steve McNair Memorial Service, more and more people are talking about it, seems people are paying high attention on Steve McNair, so let’s also discuss that.
First, let’s learn a little more about Steve McNair, Wikipedia introduced him like this:
Steve LaTreal McNair (February 14, 1973 – July 4, 2009), nicknamed Air McNair, was an American football quarterback who spent the majority of his NFL career with the Tennessee Titans.
McNair played college football at Alcorn State, where he won the 1994 Walter Payton Award as the top player in NCAA Division I-AA. He was drafted third overall by the NFL’s Houston Oilers in 1995. He became the Oilers’ regular starting quarterback in 1997, their first season in Tennessee (though he started six games over the prior two seasons in Houston), and remained the starting quarterback for the Titans until 2005. After the 2005 season, McNair was traded to the Baltimore Ravens, with whom he played for two seasons before retiring after 13 NFL seasons.
McNair led the Titans to the playoffs four times, and the Ravens once, and played in Super Bowl XXXIV with the Titans. He is the Titans’ all-time leading passer. McNair was selected to the Pro Bowl three times, and was All-Pro and Co-MVP in 2003.
On July 4, 2009, the bodies of McNair and his mistress, Sahel Kazemi, were found in McNair’s home in Nashville; both bodies had gunshot wounds. On July 8, 2009, the Nashville-Davidson County assistant medical examiner announced that traces of gun residue were found on the hands of Kazemi and confirmed that their deaths were the result of a murder-suicide, with McNair the murder victim.
Now let’s begin to talk about the Steve McNair Memorial Service and Steve McNair Funeral.
Just like this title said, there would be more than 5,500 people attend Steve McNair Funeral.
According to USA Today:
There will be a memorial service for Steve McNair in Nashville today with as many as 5,500 people in the Mt. Zion Baptist Church.
Fans and friends of the former NFL quarterback can attend a visitation from 3:45-6 p.m. CT, with a memorial service to follow at 7 p.m. local time.
Bishop Joseph Walker III said the ceremony will focus on celebrating McNair’s live, not the circumstances of his death.
“Eulogizing Steve McNair is a mammoth task,” Walker told the Tennessean. “He wasn’t just a parishioner but a friend, a dear, dear friend. It’s incredibly difficult, because obviously you have to work through your own grief and offer aid and comfort to others.”
Police said McNair’s shooting death on Saturday was part of a murder-suicide orchestrated by his 20-year-old mistress, Sahel Kazemi.
McNair’s pastor said: “Yes, he was cheating on his wife and 4 sons – Yes, he was probably cheating on his mistress who shot him as well…. but we choose to focus on the positives at a time like this……for instance: Steve McNair, at least he wasn’t involved in dog fighting, or sleeping with kids!”
Oh, a famous star has lost, what we can say is wish him be peace and move into heaven as soon as possible. God bless!
