A Champion Remembered - Dan Wheldon Memorial Service
Dan Wheldon Memorial Service Part 1
St Petersburg, FL | Oct. 22, 2011 - Of all the indelible moments from Dan Wheldon's public memorial service with fellow IndyCar drivers Dario Franchitti, Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan serving as pallbearers, his father carrying his racing helmet and country music star Wynonna Judd singing two gripping songs, the heart-wrenching letter from his wife cut deepest. Susie Wheldon's letter to Dan left few eyes dry in the First Presbyterian Church of St. Petersburg...
Wheldon, a 2x Indianapolis 500 winner, died Sunday, October 16th in IndyCar's season finale at Las Vegas. He was remembered Saturday not only as a champion but as a devoted husband, loving father, loyal friend and beloved son. And one more thing: a neat freak. Hundreds said goodbye to the 33-year-old Englishman-turned-Floridian during a service that included a eulogy by the best man at his wedding, Judd's rendition of "Amazing Grace" alongside a church choir and letters by his wife and sister that offered a detailed portrait of the popular, fun-loving and always tidy driver.
