The brother of George Floyd wept during the final memorial service Monday as he was joined by the family members of other slain black man, including the mother of Eric Garner and father Ahmaud Arbery, in Houston  as thousands lined up to pay their respects. 

Reflecting the weight of the moment, the service drew the families of black victims in other high-profile killings whose names have become seared in America´s conversation over race - among them Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Ahmaud Arbery and Trayvon Martin.

'It just hurts a lot,' said Philonise Floyd, George Floyd´s brother, sobbing outside The Fountain of Praise church. 'Just being here, talking, it's pain.' 

The body of George Floyd arrived to The Fountain of Praise church in Houston, Texas, on Monday following a memorial service in North Carolina on Saturday and one in Minneapolis on Thursday

Floyd, a 46-year-old father, died while saying 'I can't breathe' as a white offer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes on Memorial Day in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

The disturbing incident was captured on cell phone video and shared to social media, prompting two weeks of continuous protests across the country over police brutality.   

'Just being here, thinking about my brother, he's a gentle giant,' continued Philonise. 'He had his life taken away when it shouldn't have been. He should've been here, speaking on someone else's behalf right now.'

He recalled growing up with George in a 'houseful of love' and said his brother was a 'huge role model for a lot of people.' 

Philonise then thanked the family members of other police brutality and gun violence victims, including relatives of Eric Garner, Ahmaud Arbery, Trayvon Martin and Pamela Turner.

'I thank y'all for coming out so much to support us, And all the families that are here with me today - Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor - it just hurts. 

'We will get justice. We will get it. We will not let this door close.'  

Rodney Floyd, George's younger brother, also spoke to the crowds of mourners as Rev. Al Sharpton comforted Philonese. 

'We're all getting tired of seeing the same routine play out daily by the police in every state, and I'm just happy we're united on that front,' said Roger, referring to several demonstrations that have happened over the last two weeks. 

Roger said George was 'such a wonderful man, father, human being and he gives the best advice on anything.'

'I got some much wonderful advice from him. And every day, it seems unreal, because I'm waiting on that phone call. I'm still calling his phone number,' he said. 

'If he was told he would have to sacrifice his life to bring the world together, and knowing him, I know he would've did it.' 

Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, then took to the podium to call for action and reform within law enforcement. 

Garner, a  27-year-old African American man in Long Island, died after an NYPD officer put him in a chokehold during an arrest in 2014. 

Garner pleaded 'I can't breathe' at least 10 times while  officers pinned him to the concrete sidewalk. His death was later ruled a homicide and sparked outrage over police brutality.

'I stand in solidarity with the family,' Carr said, 'because it mimics my case and this is personal to me.'

'They have doubled back and claimed another life by a chokehold. That's why we have to fight for justice. This family is hurting now, like I've hurt - my hurt doesn't go away.'

She then gave an passionate plea for attending mourners to rise up in solidarity against police brutality.

'Don't go home and not do anything. You're paying your respects, but the most respect you can pay is to help this family Come out, even after the cameras are gone in a few days. The lights are going out. But like when my son was killed six years ago, even when the lights went out, I kept fighting. Because I don't to stand here again for another mother, another father, another brother crying because [their loved one] was killed by police senselessly. '

'My son said he couldn't breathe - 11 times he said he can't breathe. Floyd said he could not breathe and called for his mother. He was calling for all mothers!' 

Then, Marcus Arbery Sr., father of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery, denounced police brutality and said his son was lynched on that tragic February day.

Ahmaud Arbery was shot dead by two white men while jogging through a residential neighborhood in Brunswick, Georgia. The suspects said they suspected him of being a robber, despite having no concrete evidence.   

'I'm the father of Ahmaub Arbery, my son that was lynched...I just had to come support the Floyd family. I feel what they're going through because I've lost a loved one. 

'But my son was lynched by two white men, so I'm just letting you all know the fight must go on.'

The sister of Botham Jean, a 27-year-old black man who was killed inside him home by a neighboring police officer in Texas, and the father of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man who was shot dead by a police officer in Missouri, also took turns speaking to mourners.
