NFL icon Ray Lewis in tear-jerking speech at son's funeral and says 'we will see you again'

NFL Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis emotionally spoke at his son's funeral, recalling cherished memories with his first-born child, Ray Lewis III, who died earlier this month at 28 years old.

The ex-Ravens star gave the eulogy at Calvary Orlando Church in Florida, and fellow NFL players from his era, such as Michael Irvin, attended the service to lend support.

"We will see you again," Lewis said. "28 years, watching my first-born child… the referees thought I was crazy running up and down the sideline. Everybody that's here in this room today for my son, from the deepest corners of my family's heart, thank you."
