Manly rising talent Keith Titmuss has been laid to rest in an emotional ceremony by family, friends and teammates.<\/a><\/p>\n

Titmuss' funeral was held at EFKS Mount Druitt Church on Wednesday after the 20-year-old tragically passed away last week following a Sea Eagles training session.<\/a><\/p>\n

His coffin was adorned with his Sea Eagles jersey, marked by his official club number, 623.<\/p>\n

Manly coach Des Hasler, club owners Rick and Scott Penn, chief executive Stephen Humphreys, club education and wellbeing officer Matt Ballin and recruitment manager Scott Fulton where in attendance.<\/p>\n

As were, players Daly Cherry-Evans, Marty Taupau, Brad Parker, Reuben Garrick, Lachlan Croker, Josh Schuster, Morgan Boyle, Ben Trbojevic and Jake Trbojevic were among the 250 mourners, as was NRL head of football, Graham Annesley.<\/p>\n

There was also a video montage of his blossoming rugby league career.<\/p>\n

"From the moment Keith was born, we could tell our baby was special. He was a determined individual. I have seen him be laser focused on a goal and then set his mind to achieving whatever it was," Titmuss' mum Lafo said.<\/p>\n

"Keith was a down-to-earth type of fella. You could call him a no-frills type of guy. He was self-assured and full of confidence. He didn't like being the centre of attention, preferring to gain a reputation based on his actions on the field.<\/p>\n

\"Jesse<\/p>\n

"To Keithy's circle of friends, I say chin up, back straight, be strong. Be sad, but only for a little while. Pursue your dreams and live your best life and remember 623."<\/p>\n

Friends performed an impromptu Haka for Titmuss after the service.<\/p>\n

The Sea Eagles also held a memorial service for Titmuss last week.<\/p>\n
