Some 2,000 people packed into Detroit's Fellowship Chapel on Wednesday (April 19) to mourn the death of D12's Proof.

The Detroit Free Press reports that lines wrapped around the block for the service, which started 45 minutes past its scheduled 11 a.m. start time due to the massive crowd.

Eminem, who broke down while giving a testimonial about his former hype man and close friend, wore a black suit and was seated behind the late rapper's family. "He taught me how to be a leader," the Free Press quoted Em as saying. "I'm sure everybody who has ever met him, even just once, can testify to the fact that he illuminated a room when he walked in it. I believe that Proof loved people and people loved him. ... Without Proof, there would be no Eminem, no Slim Shady, no D12."
