Reverend Al Sharpton will deliver the eulogy, and Tyler Perry is footing all funeral costs. The family’s plans include a repass celebration at the Jackson County Fairgrounds, reflecting Nolan’s lively spirit. As authorities investigate, his mother Christine Wonsley has hired attorney Ben Crump for an independent review and Colin Kaepernick is funding a second autopsy. Though no new leads emerged from a recent meeting with the district attorney, both sides agreed to let experts examine Nolan’s phone. The family urges peaceful protests, honoring Nolan’s wish for nonviolence, as the community rallies around them in search of truth and closure.
