The memorial service at Blackhawk Ministries in Fort Wayne lasted more than two hours, the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette reported.

Austin Hatch, 16, was critically injured in the crash and is in the Munson Medical Center in Traverse City. The latest reports from family members says he is recovering as brain swelling is reduced and his breathing improves.
