Chuck Norris has been laid to rest … and TMZ has learned his Las Vegas memorial service was — like the man himself — larger than life.
Judson Mills, Chuck’s co-star on “Walker, Texas Ranger,” tells TMZ … the star’s funeral was July 18 at the Rio Hotel & Casino … and he estimates there were as many as 5,000 mourners paying their respects.
Judson told us … he was one of the speakers at the funeral … and it was attended by several people who worked on ‘Walker.’
As TMZ reported … the martial arts and Hollywood legend died in March after being hospitalized in Hawaii.
As you know … Chuck had a black belt in several martial arts … he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1989 … and he later became an actual Texas Ranger.
Chuck was largely out of acting over the past few decades, except for a few minor roles in movies like 2012’s “The Expendables 2.”
No word if Chuck gave his own eulogy … but given his lore, we wouldn’t be shocked.
