A Brockton community came together Saturday to remember a boy who died after he fell through an icy pond.

Friends and family gathered at the Brockton Community Center on Plymouth Street and held memorial service for CJ Thompson. 

A funeral for the 12-year-old took place on Wednesday.

Police say Thompson and another 9-year-old boy fell into an icy pond behind the Plouffe Academy in Brockton.

Rescuers saved the 9-year-old, but Thompson did not survive.
