Overview

  • Whitney Purvis says she was misled to believe the funeral started at 4 p.m. before learning it began at 2 p.m., and that she and her guests were turned away from the Georgia chapel.
  • Weston Gosa Sr. counters that he personally invited Purvis and informed her of a 2-4 p.m. viewing and a 4 p.m. service, and that late arrivals were locked out.
  • The death certificate for Weston Jr., 16, records his passing on June 2 as due to natural causes after years of health struggles.
  • Purvis has alleged her ex withheld access to their son’s ashes and used funeral arrangements to further their ongoing co-parenting dispute.
  • Purvis lost custody of both sons following a 2024 arrest for missed child support, intensifying tensions in the aftermath of Weston Jr.’s funeral.
