6/3/13 - The funeral plans for a college football star from Livingston County have changed. Originally, services for Cullen Finnerty were to be held at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Brighton. Instead, they have been moved to at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church in Brighton Township. Thatâs where visitation will take place from 1-8pm today, followed by a burial Mass and funeral tomorrow at 11am. Burial will follow at St. Hedwig Cemetery in Dearborn Heights. The 30-year-old Finnerty, a former Brighton High School and Grand Valley State University football star, was found dead last week near the Baldwin River, about 30 miles east of Ludington. Autopsy results have so far been inconclusive as to a cause of death, but officials hope additional test results will shed light on just what happened. Finnerty,a 2001 graduate of Brighton High School, led Grand Valley to three Division II national championships. His 51-4 college record makes him the winningest quarterback in NCAA history, from any division. He leaves behind a wife and two young children. Memorial contributions can be made to the Cullen Finnerty Memorial Trust Fund at any Chase Bank branch. Contributions can also be made online through the link below. (JK)
