Bernie Mac was remembered by family, friends and thousands of fans at a public memorial, reports E! News. Mac died one week ago from complications with pneumonia at the age of 50.

Some stars to pay tribute to the late actor/comedian were Chris Rock, Rev. Jesse Jackson and actor Samuel L. Jackson – who all delivered emotional speeches.

Mac’s fellow Original Kings of Comedy – Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey and DL Hughley – sat next to each other, breaking down in tears during the service. However, once on stage, the group remembered the Mac Man with funny memories.

“This dude is a very popular guy,” said Cedric. “You know y’all were like ‘let me get four tickets to the funeral!’ He’s still the hottest ticket in town.”

Oprah Winfrey, Senator Barack Obama and Andy Garcia all sent written condolences.
