The exact cause of Mr Warmbier's death is unclear.
The 800-capacity auditorium at Warmbier's high school in the Cincinnati suburb of Wyoming was packed, as were overflow rooms set up to accommodate additional attendees.
The family of Otto Warmbier, the American student who died days after being released from North Korea in a coma, deliberately hid the fact that he was Jewish in order not to impede negotiations for his release, the Times of Israel reported on Thursday.
"Otto's a young, thrill-seeking, great kid who was going to be in that part of the world for a college experience and said, 'Hey, I've heard some friends who have done this".
Haley Berry is a UVA student and she did not know Warmbier but said she felt she need to come to support the community.
The University of Virginia student was imprisoned for 17 months in North Korea after allegedly attempting to remove a propaganda poster.
We do know that the 22-year-old university student was medically evacuated from North Korea on 13 June and flown to the U.S. where he died on 19 June.
Suffering from severe brain damage, Warmbier died Monday in his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio.
North Korea reportedly told a US official that Otto contracted botulism and slipped intothe coma after taking a sleeping pill.

"It didn't happen to me", Bae said.
His family did not give a cause of his death but said in a statement on Monday that the "awful torturous mistreatment" Warmbier endured while in custody meant "no other outcome was possible".
Given how ardently the USA had sought the cooperation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump upended much of that work in 140 characters, tweeting that Chinese efforts have "not worked out".
Warmbier's treatment by the reclusive North Korean regime sparked strong condemnation in Washington, and inflamed already high tensions stoked by Pyongyang's atomic tests and missile launches.
