Papiss Cisse drove the tributes at a commemoration for previous Newcastle United colleague Cheick Tiote in China.
Tiote, 30, kicked the bucket in the wake of caving in amid preparing for Chinese second-level side Beijing Enterprises on 5 June.
Companions, family and previous partners went to the remembrance and his casket was hung with an Ivory Coast signal.
"I experienced some uncommon minutes with this man and today he is gone," said Senegal striker Cisse, who put in four years at Newcastle.
"He resembled a sibling. We shared a considerable measure in life. His family was my family," included the Shandong Lueng player, who was in tears at the administration.
May his soul be comforted in the hand of God.
