Sawyer Sweeten Funeral: Mother Elizabeth Gini Delivers Heartbreaking Speech (READ IT)

On Sunday, friends and family of Sawyer Sweeten gathered at a funeral home in Riverside, California, where they paid their last respects to the actor.

It has been a little over a week since the "Everybody Loves Raymond" star committed suicide while visiting family in Texas. It was reported at the time that the 19-year-old shot himself in the head - an event that left his family devastated.

Approximately 200 people stood in silence as six pallbearers - including his twin brother Sullivan and his stepfather Jerry Gini - loaded Sawyer's casket into a hearse trailer attached to a motorcycle, according to People.

Elizabeth Gini, Sawyer's mother, mentioned that her son loved motorcycles, and that the funeral would display all of the things that he cherished the most.

Those who were in attendance wore clothes in hues of blue and green because they were his favorite colors.

Sullivan had dyed his hair blue in honor of his twin and joked that Sawyer "could be mean sometimes, but he was my brother."
