John, Keri and Alyssa Altobelli—who died in the same helicopter crash as Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna Bryant—were honored as part of a memorial service held Monday at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California.

Alyssa Altobelli, 14, was a teammate of Gianna on the Mamba Academy girls basketball team. John and Keri Altobelli were Alyssa's parents. The helicopter was on the way to Mamba Academy in Thousand Oaks, California, on January 26 when it crashed in Calabasas, killing nine people in total.

According to Josh Peter of USA Today, "well over 1,000 people" were in attendance Monday to pay their respects to the Altobelli family.
