A funeral for Blake Elliott, the C. Milton Wright High School student who was killed in a crash last week, will be held Sept. 27 at Mountain Christian Church.

Following a candlelight vigil held for the 16-year-old star soccer player, visitation will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., with a funeral service to follow. A private graveside service will be held later.

Elliott died in a crash involving two cars and a Harford County school bus on Sept. 18. Her boyfriend and classmate, Zach Griffin, was taken to Shock Trauma as a result of the crash.

Elliott’s family created a GoFundMe page to help with financial and emotional support, while Griffin’s family has a separate fundraiser to support his recovery.

“Zach was one of my favorite people,” Elliott’s brother said at the vigil. “I always talked to him when we played soccer, and he was the first guy I knew at this school, except for, of course, my sister and my friends.”
