Tyre Nichols’ funeral will be held at Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church in Memphis, Tennessee.
. Also fired: two Memphis Fire Department emergency medical workers and a lieutenant. And more discipline could be coming.
Nichols was the baby of their family, born 12 years after his closest siblings. He had a 4-year-old son and worked hard to better himself as a father, his family said. Friends at a memorial service last week described him as joyful and kind, quick with a smile, often silly. Nichols’ funeral will be held at Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church, beginning at 10:30 a.m. CST. The Rev. Al Sharpton, founder and president of the National Action Network, will deliver the eulogy. Ben Crump, a national civil rights attorney who represents the Nichols family, will deliver a call to action.
