PEMBROKE PINES, FLA. (WSVN) - Friends and family gathered at McArthur High School in Hollywood to celebrate the life of a teen whose life was taken too soon.

Sixteen-year-old Cameron Day was killed Sept. 18 after he was struck by lightning while riding his bike home from school. He was taken to the hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

During his life, Day was part of his school’s marching ban. They played one last song for him on Saturday.

Those same band members also set up a GoFundMe page for his funeral service to help his family.

Day’s casket was seen at the service decorated with flowers, alongside his band uniform and tuba.
