Milsap greeted Sawyer's father, Tim Sweeten, outside of the parlour. The two grieving parents were accompanied by a group of friends and appeared very somber during the 30-minute visit.
Although the funeral details are still uncertain, as a source tells RadarOnline.com that the family is "scrambling to pick up the pieces,"
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Sawyer's mother recently shared some insight into her son's tragic death, telling People, "What happened to our son was not textbook depression. He was happy, upbeat and loving. But in the last week of his life, we saw something happen. It was so rapid in progression that we were caught off-guard."
Sawyer's twin brother, Sullivan, and his sister, Madylin, who starred alongside him in Everybody Loves Raymond from from 1996 until 2005, were not present during the visit to the funeral parlor, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Tim Sweeten, Sawyer's father, has flown to California from Texas following his son's death. An eyewitness says that he looked distressed as he held his head in his hands.
