Wow, Joaquin Oliver’s parents just said on @AlPunto that he was buried in a @DwyaneWade jersey
Oliver was excited about Wade’s recent return to the Heat, according to the officiant who led the 17-year-old’s memorial service on Feb. 17.
Wade tweeted this in response on Sunday:
You’re about to make me cry this afternoon https://twitter.com/rhetoric2/status/967780619701932032 …
An emotional Wade spoke to reporters on Monday (via the Sun Sentinel):
“You really can’t put that in words. You hurt for the family … You just hope that in the time that he was alive, you were able to help bring some form of joy to his life and something memorable — a story that his family and you guys can talk about. I don’t even know the words for it … It’s emotional even thinking about that — that his parents felt that burying him in my jersey was something he wanted. I take a lot of pride in what I’ve done in this state and what I’ve meant to the youth.”
