Braves honor Hank Aaron with memorial service at Truist Park By Aungelique Proctor and FOX 5 Atlanta Digital Team Published Saying goodbye to Hank Aaron A service was held on Tuesday at Truist Park to honor the late Braves legendary slugger Hank Aaron. ATLANTA - Hank Aaron’s unparalleled accomplishments span from the Midwest to the South, but echo in every ballpark, schoolyard, and sandlots across America. But Tuesday, all eyes were on Truist Park for a private memorial service for the Braves legendary slugger. The 86-year-old Hall of Famer passed away in his sleep on Friday leaving behind not just a three-decade rule as the home run king on the field, but also a bevy of unseen and mostly unspoken about charity and civil rights work off.
