Ford's mother said she is still distraught over the party-turned-battle that killed her son.

"My son got killed by a human being's hands," said Ford's mother. "That's what I want the world to know: By hands."

A viewing for Ford will be held from 5-8 p.m. Wednesday at St. Johns Family Funeral Home, 385 State Road 207, St. Augustine. A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday at Anastasia Baptist Church, 1650 State Road A1A South, St. Augustine.

Ford's friends are to hold a memorial bonfire Friday night at the family home. A VyStar Credit Union account was set up for hospital bills and funeral expenses.  It's under his name at account No. 7029766009.
