Dwayne Haskins' wife breaks down in tears during former Pittsburgh Steelers QB's funeral

Dwayne Haskins' wife, Kalabrya Gondrezick-Haskins, broke down in tears at her late husband's funeral.

She cried over her husband's casket as pallbearers removed it from the church. Kalabrya was seen wiping away tears for the duration of the memorial after reportedly saying a few words throughout it.

Kalabrya did release a dove in honor of her late husband outside the church before his body was taken away to be moved to New Jersey for another memorial service.

Former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer and former Steelers and Ohio State linebacker Ryan Shazier were among several coaches, players and friends in attendance to pay their respects to the late QB. Meyer coached the QB at Ohio State from 2017 to 2018.

There were also those close to the late quarterback who attended his memorial service in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith and current Ohio State head football coach Ryan Day made the trip to Pennsylvania for the service. Steelers owner Art Rooney II and offensive coordinator Matt Canada were there to pay their respects.

General manager Kevin Colbert, head coach Mike Tomlin, QB Mitch Trubisky and defensive tackle Cameron Heyward were also there in Pittsburgh for the late QB’s memorial.
