"We as a family will never see that smile again, but we'll never forget either,” Tubby’s Aunt Sarah Wunderlich said.

Tubby is remembered as a giving man who's smile lit up a room.

"I don't think he can get away with being mad because that was just not his personality,” Tubby’s Aunt Sue Doxtator said.

The family said they lost that smile almost two months ago.

"We needed our time to gain strength,” Doxtator said. “It’s still not by any means over for us, but we needed that quiet time to pull it together.”

Saturday evening the family spoke out for the first time during a celebration of life for Tubby.

"We are in the process of hiring a firm that will represent us in a civil suit of Green Bay and officers involved,” Tubby’s Uncle Arlie Doxtator said.

Sue Doxtator said even though they've had limited contact with anyone involved in the investigation, they remain hopeful that someone will be held accountable for Tubby's death.

"We hope that we can influence other people out in the nation to proceed in the manner that we are with being positive, staying strong and staying united,” said Doxtator.

A letter Tubby's mom wrote was read out to the crowd.
