The parents of late Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins were not present at their son's funeral on Friday, April 22, in Pittsburgh. Their absence is due to the fact that they did not want their first encounter with Haskins' wife to be at his funeral. Dwayne Sr and Tamara Haskins said in a statement to USA TODAY, “We have never met or spoken to the wife, and we didn’t want our son’s funeral service to be the place we met her for the first time.” Haskins' parents however did not explain why they and Haskins' wife never met before his death. 

Haskins' parents, according to WUSA9, will have two additional services for their son. One in New Brunswick, New Jersey, where Haskins was born and reared, and another in Potomac, Maryland, where he grew up later. They told, "We have had such an overwhelming outpouring of love for our son since the news broke of our loss. He was touched by so many people on his journey to being a standout athlete, and we are grateful to all of them. This pain is unimaginable, and we appreciate everyone who shares in our heartbreak."
