It was a packed out Church service, today at Durham's First Calvary Baptist Church, in Durham N.C. as family, friends, and students from Hampton University and North Carolina A &T State University said their final goodbyes to Yusuf Neville. 

MStars previously reported that a well-known, popular marathon runner, and member of Kappa Alpha Psi college grad committed suicide by jumping from the Marriott parking deck in downtown Greensboro, NC. News of Neville's death sent an impact and a strong awareness on social media remembering the fun, sweet-spirited person Yusuf was. Hashtags continues to read,  #RIPYusuf and #OhLetsYusuf and #RunForYusuf.
