Late MLB star Jose Fernandez was remembered at a memorial service by his grieving loved ones on Wednesday.

The event marked the first public appearance by Fernandez's pregnant girlfriend, Maria Arias, since the Miami Marlin's pitcher was killed in a boating accident off Miami Beach on Sunday. He was 24.

Arias, 24, was seen visibly grieving during the ceremony at St. Brendan's Catholic Church in Miami. She is reportedly four months pregnant with her due date set for February.

Prior to Fernandez's tragic death, he instagrammed a shot of Arias' growing belly bump, with the announcement celebrating his impending fatherhood.

"I'm so glad you came into my life," he wrote. "I'm ready for where this journey is going to take us together. #familyfirst."

Born in Cuba, Fernandez defected to the U.S. in 2008. In 2013, he was voted the National League Rookie of the Year, and placed third in Cy Young Award voting.
