From Lynch's father, Roberto:

Out of respect to the Avilez Family, who has taken care of Eric for the past year, Nilsa has decided to do a viewing for everyone here in Georgia. Davis-Struempf Funeral Home has provided a website so any of his friends may leave a message for him. We wanted to thank you all for all the help - these past few days have been very hard for all of us. Eric has worked for Angel & Tharyn at Angels Auto Care for quite some time now, not only did they give my son a job while he finished school – but they have also watched over Eric along with the Avilez family. Angel & Tharyn have played a big part in our family & we care for them deeply. If possible please bring any pictures you might have of Eric, especially any of his artwork you might have, Nilsa and I would be forever grateful. Any electronic photos can be sent to Eric’s auntie Angie Voccio via Facebook or at: angiedimple@aim.com. After the viewing in Atlanta, Eric will be flying to New York. His Auntie Angie is handling the funeral arrangements in NY.

Thank You All For Being There For My Son
