Family devastated after priest at young son's funeral service calls him 'a sinner' because he took his own life: 'He might not get into heaven'
Losing a son is hard on its own, but a Michigan family was left pretty much outraged at their son's funeral after a priest suggested that the dead teen might not get into heaven and also 'called him a sinner' as the boy had committed suicide, according to the family. Maison Hullibarger, the said 18-year-old boy from Temperance, Michigan, took his own life and died on December 4.
The boy's grieving family shared that the priest, Reverend Don LaCuesta, repeatedly kept bringing up the cause of the teenager's death during his funeral, which took place on December 8, reports the Detroit Free Press reports. "It was his time to tell everybody what he thought of suicide, (and) we couldn’t believe what he was saying," said Jeff Hullibarger, Maison’s father, according to the Free Press.
