Hudson Joseph Meek was laid to rest one week after his tragic death at age 16.
A Celebration of Life service for the late “Baby Driver” actor was held at Dawson Memorial Baptist Church in Homewood, Alabama on Saturday.
The service was livestreamed on Meek’s Instagram page.
During the 93 minute video, Meek’s family and friends gathered at the church to say goodbye to the teen actor.
Several people spoke at the podium and shared their fondest memories of Meek. A choir also sang during the church ceremony.
Fans paid tribute to Meek in the comments section of the livestream.
“Praying for Hudson’s family at this difficult time,” one fan wrote.
“The choir did a beautiful job honoring Hudson,” someone else said.
A third person wrote, “Beautiful service. Our church has been blessed by this family and we will continue to support and pray for them here at Dawson.”
Fellow teen actor Grace Culwell, who has appeared in “Law & Order: SVU,” revealed in the comments that she was at the service.
“Such a beautiful service and & so glad we were able to be there. Sending so much love & prayers to all,” she wrote.
Meek was best known for starring in the 2017 film “Baby Driver” alongside Ansel Elgort, Kevin Spacey, Lily James, Jon Hamm, Jamie Foxx and Eiza González.
The 16-year-old died on Dec. 21 after he sustained blunt force injuries when he fell from a moving vehicle on the evening of Dec. 19 in his hometown of Vestavia Hills, Alabama.
Meek’s mother, Lani Wells Meek, posted about her son’s death on her Facebook page shortly after he passed.
“Our hearts are broken to share that Hudson Meek went home to be with Jesus tonight,” she wrote. “His 16 years on this earth were far too short, but he accomplished so much and significantly impacted everyone he met.”
An obituary for the young actor read, “He was surrounded by friends, family, and the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
“Hudson was also an accomplished actor,” his obituary noted. “He worked on several major motion pictures and television shows, some of which will be released in 2025. He absolutely loved spending time on set and having the chance to learn the names and stories of every member of the cast and crew.”
“Hudson was an organ donor, and his family is comforted by knowing that he will continue to help others for years to come,” the obituary added.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that no foul play is suspected in the accident.
In the wake of Meek’s death, his family created the Hudson J. Meek Memorial Scholarship, which will be given to a Vestavia Hills High School student each year.
