Berry Gordy, Motown founder and close personal friend to Michael Jackson sits with music producer Suzanne de Passe Thursday during the burial service for the late King of Pop at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.

After Jackson's shocking death in June, Gordy opened up to ET about his friend saying that the legendary performer was like a son to him.

"I had no concern about his ability to go to the top," Gordy said. "He was like my son. He had warmth, sensitivity and two personalities."
