The Funeral?

Ghost_Tracker · #1 08-14-2005, 10:00 PM

Does anyone happen to know anything about the funeral?

I know they wouldn't want a bunch of uninvited guests there

but I figured it was okay to ask now since they've probably

had it already. Also, has there been anything in the Phoenix

newspapers about this? Or an obituary, etc.?

I've also wondered about how the Phoenix business community

is taking this, and the Phoenix citizens in general - my understanding

is that he was rather well-known there, and popular.

I haven't seen anything in the Phoenix papers about Jess Nicks' obituary or funeral plans. Maybe they want to keep it a private affair.

And I don't blame them one bit.

Maybe? I'm 100% sure they DID keep it a private affair.

i was actually kind of curious about this also. I would hope people would respect their privacy. what a shame to have to put bouncers at the door of a funeral home or church.

It's pretty quick for funeral to have already happened isn't it?

In the part of the country where I live at, it's "average" to have a funeral 2-3 days after someone has died. And yeah, I was thinking about this too, that he was a really well-known person in his own right through his corporate and civic works and yet, no obit ran in the paper and the funeral was probably private and by invitation only. I'm sure that there were a lot of people who would have like to have attended and paid their respects, friends and associates of his but who weren't able to because this man's daughter is who she is. And that's really sad--never doubt for one second, that despite all the fame and the fortune, that celebs (and their families) pay a very high price for stardom.

I'm sure they've kept it private....as respectful as some fans may be there will always be the people who don't know their boundaries. Which is sad.

I think at a time like this - she's made her public statement - the fans have an outlet a la the NicksFix and AHI to send condolences/donations...that should be enough for people who love Stevie but don't know her or Jess Nicks.

on the families wishes & the funeral-home's plans...My Mother's funeral was 4 days after she passed away because the funeral home did not have an opening 1 day later (Why were trying to accomodate family members who were busy during the week and may not be able to attend, So we thought a funeral on a Saturday would have been best.)

Kudos to whoever thought to post that.

If there was no mention of Jess Nicks' death in the Phoenix news papers it would have been because of bad journalism. Prominent community members in a major city are always given a decent write-up in the obituary/city sections even if their loved ones wish to keep their loss private. Out of respect to the family the story wouldn't have to disclose specifics of the funeral - like the date and place. If his passing was mentioned on Phoenix television news, it should have been in the paper.

Just wanted mention that sometimes ..by request of the family, the obit..will appear After the funeral..Which would probably be the best way to avoid reporters and intrustion on the families privacy..
