RJ Mitte's on-screen family came together one more time to say goodbye.

Several of his former "Breaking Bad" castmates were among the mourners at a celebration of life for the actor in Hollywood on Saturday — weeks after he died by suicide.

Bryan Cranston — who played his father Walter White on the series — showed up in a black suit. Aaron Paul was there too wearing a blue button-down shirt with slacks.

Castmates stand with his family

Fellow castmates Raymond Cruz, Jonathan Banks and Bob Odenkirk were in the crowd as well to back the Mitte family.

His mother Dyna Mitte was among those grieving along with his sister Lacianne Carriere. Dyna has already shared a moving online tribute to her son — writing that from the day the family brought RJ home at 3 days old he inspired people and opened his heart to everyone he met.

After the service guests headed to a bar nearby where they were encouraged to keep sharing memories of him over drinks plus a few bites.

Earlier tributes

Paul has said Mitte "will be missed" while Cranston described being in "deep despair" over the loss. He was discovered dead at his home in Texas on Oct. 12.
