Public memorial for Jose Fernandez to be held Wednesday, funeral Thursday
A public memorial service and viewing will be held for Jose Fernandez on Wednesday, with a private funeral to be held Thursday.
Mourners will process from Marlins Park to the Shrine of Our Lady of Charity beginning at 2:16 p.m. Fernandez wore No. 16.
There will be a blessing at the shrine and the procession will continue to Saint Brendan Catholic Church, where there will be a public viewing from 4 p.m. to midnight.
Fernandez and two other men, Eddy Rivero and Emilio Macias, were killed when his 32-foot boat crashed into a rock jetty at full speed on Sunday.
Marlins outfielder Marcel Ozuna said Monday that Fernandez invited him to join him on the boat that night but he declined.
The Marlins honored Fernandez with a pregame ceremony on Monday and will retire his No. 16.
