Greg Biffle and Six Others Who Died in a Plane Crash Mourned at Charlotte Memorial Service

Greg, Cristina, Ryder, and Emma, Biffle; Dennis and Jack Dutton; Craig Wadsworth - Rest In Peace.

 

The NASCAR community honored retired driver Greg Biffle and his family at a memorial service Friday, weeks after they were killed in a plane crash a week before Christmas.

 

Driver/influencer Garrett Mitchell, known as "Cleetus McFarland" in his YouTube videos and a close friend of Biffle’s, was among those who spoke at the service.

 

"We have all been saying, ‘Be like Biff,’ since we lost our hero," said Mitchell, who befriended Biffle later in his life. "What does that mean? That means to take opportunities when you see them. Whether you are taking opportunity to pass somebody on the track or getting off your couch to chase a dream you have only been talking about for the past five years.

 

"It means showing up for your friends and family. It means using your heart to make the world a better place. It means being generous whenever you can and helping other humans when they’re down. That is what it means to be like Biff," Mitchell added.

Biffle’s niece, Jordyn Biffle, told stories about Ryder’s hero being his father, Emma’s laughter and Cristina’s loving nature.

 

She said the Biffle family "lived fully, loved deeply and gave freely."

 

"Their lives remind us that what matters isn’t how long we are here, but how we use the time we are given and how fiercely we love while we are here," Biffle added. "And while this loss is devastating beyond words, their impact remains etched into all of us that were lucky enough to have known them, loved them and be changed by them."
