Sheinelle Jones’ “Today” show colleagues paid their respects at her husband Uche Ojeh’s funeral Friday.
Savannah Guthrie, Jenna Bush Hager, Craig Melvin, Al Roker and his wife, ABC News journalist Deborah Roberts, were all photographed walking outside of Riverside Church in New York City.
Hoda Kotb — who left “Today” in January after 26 years at NBC — was also in attendance.
The entire group looked downcast, with serious expressions on their faces as they exited the church behind Ojeh’s casket. The father of three died after a long battle with brain cancer in May at age 45.
Jones, his widow, was photographed taking in the somber moment at his service Friday, placing a hand over her heart as she spoke with a loved one.
On May 23, Guthrie, 53, announced live on the air, “With profound sadness, we share this morning that Uche Ojeh has passed away after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma.”
“There are no words for the pain we feel for Sheinelle and her three young children. Uche was an incredible person, and we all loved him.”
The “Today” show then played a montage of videos highlighting special moments from Ojeh and Jones’ life together, including when they met, got married and welcomed their three children.
Jones, 47, briefly took to Instagram later that day to write, “Thank you, for all of your love and support. ❤️.”
The journalist had taken a months-long hiatus from “Today” starting in late 2024. She then explained in January that it was due to “a family health matter.”
“It’s not lost how lucky I am to have not only the support of my Today Show family, but to also have all of you,” she added at the time. “Your kindness means so much to me. I’ll see you soon.”
Jones joined “Today” in 2014, as part of “Weekend Today.” In January 2019, she was promoted to co-host of the morning program’s third hour.
