‘A wonderful and sweet kid’
Sweeten’s on screen father Romano pays him tribute.
I am shocked and terribly saddened by the news. He was a wonderful and sweet kid to be around. Just a great energy whenever he was there. My heart breaks for him, his family and his friends during this very difficult time.

Sawyer Sweeten was a funny and exceptionally bright young man. He is gone from us far too soon.
