(LAWRENCEBURG, Ind.) – Friday will mark one year since South Dearborn grad Bryce Valdez lost his life in a car accident.

Family and friends have organized an 'Angelversary' ceremony which will honor Bryce on the first anniversary of his passing. 

It will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. on Friday at the Lawrenceburg Speedway on Friday. 

Community members are invited to let off lanterns and light candles. 

"I only have a few lanterns so people can stop at a fireworks place and pick one up. If not just bring a candle and lighter please," his mother, Eugenia, said.
