Gay founded Destiny Limousine in 1999, and managed a fleet of three limousines. He also worked as a chauffeur for the company. Several of Gay's peers in the limousine service spoke of their affection for their friend.

Bishop William Sheals talked about confronting death and coping emotionally and spiritually.

Bishop William Sheals hugs Brandon. "Your father was a kind man," Sheals said. "Was it too soon? God doesn't make a mistake."

Brandon Gay, 16, was joined by about 50 people at Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church in Norcross to remember his father. Mark Gay, 44, was the limousine driver killed in a wreck March 31 while driving a family home from the airport. Three other people died in the crash.
