The fact that he was able to hold it together to sing a song is wild. I couldn’t even keep cool at my grandparents funeral

I was unable to even breathe a word at my brother’s funeral, I’m shocked that he could sing an entire song

I believe his brother would have been so very proud of his little brother.... that was beautiful!! So very sorry for your loss!!

To sing while grieving, that’s a lot of effort it is a herculean task to appear strong when you are not

I am a Funeral Director and this has to be the most movingly beautiful tribute to a loved one that I have seen. Bless you all.

We lost my son to brain cancer 4 years ago. He was only 34. This was a song he loved and I can’t imagine how this beautiful boy managed to sing this while in such pain, but what a wonderful tribute to his brother. God Bless you and God Bless your brother.

Since we're all here because of the algorithm, let's acknowledge how incredibly lucky we are that we get to live a beautiful life. Yes, there are struggles. I have them too. But to have the support of your family, whether it's by blood or your chosen family, is incredible. Go give a hug and a kiss to your loved ones. What a masterpiece. Bought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing this.

No parent should ever have to bury their own kid. My condolences.

My dad absolutely loves this song. He’s also lost his two older brothers previously so I know he would be very emotionally moved if I showed him this video. Just beautiful, I admire this young man for being so strong.

My brother committed suicide at Christmas 2004. We held his funeral Mass in my mother's nursing home so she could attend. She had ALS and was completely bed ridden but could still speak. At the Offertory Mom and I sang a Christmas Lullaby together IN HARMONY (with no rehearsal). What a gift and surprise! I had no idea.... My memory of that day is a shining miracle, a true Gift from God Himself.

Funerals, I'd decided, are not for the dead. They're for the living. -Hazel Grace

The sniffles in the background and the people around him comforting eachother.. man.. death is so terrible yet it still unites. What a double edged sword..

My son died at 12 years old in 1996 after he was hit by a car. He left behind three siblings who still mourn him. What a beautiful tribute this young man had for his brother. My friend lost her brother in 1994 and sang Ave Maria at the funeral. She did a perfect job. I am so sorry for the loss of your son. It is a pain that never goes away.

Towards the end, he was almost to breakdown, but he continued singing. It was so very touching. My deepest condolences. May his soul rest in peace. May his family be strong.
