LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Quincy Jones has been laid to rest in an “intimate ceremony” in Los Angeles, California, a week after his death on November 3. 

The private funeral ceremony held for the music titan was notably attended by his family members, revealed The Mirror US.

Quincy Jones’ funeral was attended by his family members

Elaborating on the funeral, Quincy Jones’ family shared in a statement with The Associated Press that the ‘Soul Bossa Nova’ hitmaker was laid to rest in an “intimate ceremony” which was attended by “Mr Jones’ seven children, his brother, two sisters, and immediate family members.” 

The statement, however, did not reveal the final resting place of the music composer. The family, nevertheless, thanked his fans for their condolences and love during the difficult times. 

"[We are] enormously grateful for the outpouring of condolences and tributes from his friends and fans from around the world," shared the statement.

Meanwhile, the statement further revealed that a public memorial service is underway for all his fans. "Details for a memorial celebration of Mr. Jones’ life will be announced at a later date," wrote his family in the statement. 

Quincy Jones' daughter Rashida pays emotional tribute to her dad

Rashida Jones, Quincy Jones' daughter, recently took to her Instagram to bid an emotional farewell to her father. Sharing an unearthed photo from her childhood, the 'Parks and Recreation' star penned a heartfelt tribute to her "culture shifter" father. 

Revealing her father's artistic idiosyncrasies, Rashida wrote, "My dad was nocturnal his whole adult life. He kept “jazz hours” starting in high school and never looked back. When I was little, I would wake up in the middle of the night to search for him. Undoubtedly, he would be somewhere in the house, composing (old school, with a pen and sheet music)."

However, he would always have time for his children, as 'The Office' alum wrote, "He would never send me back to bed. He would smile and bring me into his arms while he continued to work...there was no safer place in the world for me."

"He was a giant. An icon. A culture shifter. A genius," gushed the proud daughter. 

She continued, "All accurate descriptions of my father but his music (and ALL of his work) was a channel for his love. He WAS love," before adding, "He made everyone he ever met feel loved and seen. That’s his legacy."

"I was fortunate enough to experience this love in close proximity. I’ll miss his hugs and kisses and unconditional devotion and advice. Daddy, it is an honor to be your daughter," continued Rashida, before concluding, "Your love lives forever."

Apart from Rashida, Quincy was a father to six other children - Jolie, Rachel, Martina, Quincy III, Kidada, and Kenya. He also married thrice — Jeri Caldwell (1957-1966), Ulla Andersson (1967-1974), and the late Peggy Lipton (1974-1990).
