A funeral will be held Monday in Marshall, Minn., for the 5-month-old son of Southwest Minnesota State men's basketball coach Brad Bigler and his wife, Heather.

Services for Drake Bigler will be held at 1 p.m. Monday at First Lutheran Church in the southwestern Minnesota town.

The boy was killed Saturday when a pickup collided head-on with an SUV carrying Bigler family members. Brad Bigler's surgeon says the coach continues to improve. His wife's grandmother, Sharon Schuler, also is making progress.

The pickup driver, Dana Schoen, 38, of Starbuck, Minn., faces three criminal vehicular homicide or operation charges. Schoen had a blood-alcohol content more than four times Minnesota's legal limit of 0.08 percent, the complaint said.
