The life of late Ravens megafan Wes Henson, known as Captain Dee-Fense, will be celebrated at a funeral service next week, which will be open to the public and livestreamed online.
Henson died of cancer last week, after spending years as one of the Baltimore Ravens’ most prominent ambassadors. Before becoming a Charm City icon, Henson served in the Navy for 15 years as a cryptography technician.
His funeral is set to be held by March Funeral Homes at its tribute center in Randallstown on Oct. 23, with a wake at 10 a.m. and funeral following soon after at 11 a.m. A visitation is scheduled for the day before at the same location from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m., and on Oct. 21 at March Funeral Home West from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
A news release Tuesday from March Funeral Homes said Henson’s family urged “everyone to celebrate his legacy by wearing purple in his honor.”
The services will be livestreamed at March Funeral Homes’ website.
