The world knows the 46-year-old Black man who was killed last month by a Minneapolis police officer as George Floyd. But we all loved him,” Floyd’s aunt Kathleen McGee said with a low chuckle Tuesday during the funeral service for Floyd. Al Sharpton and R&B singer Ne-Yo were among the high-profile mourners who were there to support the Floyd family. Former Vice President Joe Biden, who met privately with the Floyd family on Monday, spoke via a pre-recorded video played during the service. Floyd’s niece Brooke Williams spoke about how close he was with his mother, who died a few years ago.
