Manley's daughter Sydney died in 2018 from cancer when she was 8 years old. Sydney liked motorcycles, and her final wish was for bikers to visit her procession.

Manley said Sydney's story inspired Alec to have sports cars at his funeral, because he loved them so much.

"He just had an absolute love for big, shiny super cars ... the McLaren, Lamborghinis -- he even had a wish day where he got to ride in a Lamborghini," Maley told "GMA."
