Ray Lewis delivered an emotional eulogy at the funeral of his son Ray Lewis III over the weekend.

TMZ shared a barely audible snippet from Lewis' speech during the service at Calvary Orlando Church Saturday where he seemed to mention a dream in which Ray Lewis III excitedly told his grandmother about becoming an angel.

"We will see you again," said Lewis, dressed in all white.

Lewis III passed away earlier this month at the age of 28. Police later determined he died of an accidental overdose. Officers were responding to a medical emergency call when Lewis III was found unresponsive as one friend was performing CPR and another was screaming for Narcan, a "lifesaving emergency treatment that reverses opioid overdose," as described by the FDA.

A used needle was discovered at the scene, along with a small plastic bag located inside an empty beer can. A blue pill, which has been unofficially identified as Alprazolam, was found next to his body. The drug Alprazolam is commonly found in Xanax.

Lewis III followed in his father's footsteps, playing football for Coastal Carolina University, and Virginia Union University, as well as the NFL Hall of Famer's alma mater, the University of Miami.

Lewis' friend and fellow Hall of Famer Michael Irvin attended the funeral, sharing a photo of the pamphlet and a clip of the service on Instagram.
