WBBM's Steve Miller reports the memorial service will be at Great Oaks Banquets in Cedar Lake, Indiana.

That's the same place where Knight's wedding reception was on Saturday - hours before he was killed.

According to a blog set up by Riley Knight's family, it's the same place where Riley Knight had met his wife Nikki eight years ago.

A memorial fund has been set up for the couple's four children.

Knight was a veteran, and his family says donations may also be made to the Wounded Warrior Project.
