The legendary music producer Quincy Jones was laid to rest following a private ceremony in Los Angeles, just one week after his passing at the age of 91. His family is also organizing a larger, public memorial to celebrate his extraordinary life and contributions to the music industry.

The family of the remarkable 28-time Grammy Award winner, producer, arranger, and composer Quincy Jones, shared a heartfelt statement with The Associated Press. They revealed that the intimate funeral ceremony was attended by Mr. Jones’ seven children, along with his brother, two sisters, and other immediate family members, emphasizing the close-knit bonds that defined his family life.

While the family chose not to disclose the location of the cemetery where the ceremony was held, they expressed their profound gratitude for the outpouring of condolences and tributes they received from friends and fans worldwide. They assured that further details regarding a larger memorial celebration to honor Mr. Jones’ illustrious life and career will be shared in due time.

Quincy Jones passed away peacefully, surrounded by his beloved family at his residence in Bel Air, Los Angeles, on November 3. This moment marked a significant loss not only for his family but also for the entire music community that revered his influence and contributions.

“Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must announce the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing,” the family conveyed in their poignant statement shared earlier this month.

“This is indeed an overwhelming loss for our family, yet we choose to celebrate the remarkable life he led, knowing that someone as unique as him will never come again.”

“He was truly one of a kind, and we will miss him dearly. However, we find solace and immense pride in the knowledge that the love and joy that were the essence of his being resonated with the world through his creative endeavors. Quincy Jones’ heart will continue to beat for eternity through his extraordinary music and the love he shared.”

Following his death, numerous tributes poured in from prominent figures across the media and political spectrum. Saturday Night Live, a show he once hosted, honored him with a memorial photo during a touching moment in the program just a day before his memorial service.

In lieu of floral arrangements, Jones’ family kindly requests that donations be made to the Jazz Foundation of America, a fitting tribute to honor his profound impact on the music world.
