Rev. Jesse Curney, III of New Mercies Christian Church, will be officiating the services, beginning at 1:00 PM, according to TMZ.

In a statement, Rev. Curney said,

"I was really sad to hear the news. Kirsnick has been a faithful member since he was ten years old. He and his family were active and avid supporters of the church and the community as a whole."

Emotions in the world and his hometown have been heavy since Takeoff was shot and killed on November 1 in Houston.

Graffiti artist Armondo "Ape" Monoletti crafted a mural in Atlanta, just hours after the tragic news and friends and fam of Takeoff held a balloon sendoff over the weekend in his honour.

Law enforcement sources recently told TMZ they’re vigorously investigating the argument that led to the 28-year-old rapper’s death, but they haven't pinpointed any suspect just yet.
