Ryan Dunn Funeral: ‘Jackass’ Star to Be Buried in Ohio Saturday

No public memorial for “Jackass” star scheduled yet

Ryan Dunn will be buried Saturday in Ohio, where the "Jackass" star had family ties.

Dunn, 34, was remembered Wednesday evening in a closed-casket visitation in West Chester, Pa., with "Jackass" co-stars Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera among the mourners.

Funeral director Ron DellaVecchia, of the DellaVecchia, Reilly, Smith, & Boyd funeral home in West Chester, told TheWrap that Dunn would be buried in a private ceremony. The family has not yet scheduled a public memorial, though one is expected, DellaVecchia said.

Although members of the virulently anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church have announced plans to picket any public funeral or memorial service, DellaVecchia said it was his understanding that they would not target the private service. The group did not demonstrate outside Wednesday's private visitation.

The independent church, widely reviled for picketing military funerals, said in a statement this week it would protest because Dunn once put a "toy car up his rectum for entertaiment." It was referring to one of the stunts in "Jackass: The Movie."

Dunn and his passenger, Zachary Hartwell, 30, were killed in West Goshen, Pa., when Dunn's Porsche 911 flew over a guard rail, hit a tree and burst into flames. Police later determined that Dunn's blood-alcohol content was twice the legal limit and that he was driving at speeds of 132 to 140 mph.
