Eric as always happy! He was my competition in the workplace for some time both of us trying to get a process to achieve 100% in the early days of working together. He would always give me crap, He was so created though he always had names for people very close to what their real names were like Eric would be earache.
I miss those olden days.

Im beyond sad to learn that such a kind and lovely man no longer walks this earth !
I have been out of touch with the boys from Toy for a VERY LONG TIME (obviously).
Eric was ALWAYS such a kind man and a gentleman to boot! (Rare in those days, even more so today,sadly!!!!)
I know that he is indeed in Heaven with the Lord and after hearing this news, I know he is rocking out with an AMAZING band!!!
God Bless you my dear friend, Ill see you on the other side and look forward to hearing your AMAZING TALENT once again!!
Peace be with you!!!
Love you dearly!!!!

I am sad to hear of Eric's passing. He was a great friend and colleague (Cottrell Ltd.) I had been searching for him through facebook only to hear of his passing through a mutual friend/colleague. To my saddened dismay I learned of his padding. Rest in Peace brother. Your friend always

I've always though that Eric was such a good drummer and he will be missed. Boy, the stories I could tell about some of the things we did. I hope his family and close friends are doing alright, he will be missed.
Here is a video from youtube if you wish to take a trip back through memory lane.

Eric, I hope you have found peace with God that you weren't able to find and hold here on earth. I missed you since you left Iowa and wish we'd had more time to reconnect after we'd found each other. You were always a great friend to me and will always be my "best buddy".

A terrific drummer who has learned all he can from his adventure here on earth. I look forward to hearing the music of his next band.
Thanks for inviting me on part of your journey Eric.
We laughed, we fought, we lived and learned. I know we will meet up again and continue the laughter.
May the world remember you every time they put on some headphones and hear the beat of their favorite song, magic only a true drummer can create.
You are missed. Love ya.

Don't think of him as gone away-
his journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets-
this earth is only one.
You'll always be driving the "cool bus" in my memories, but you no longer have stop signs.
Love You Bro

A prayer for the family and friends of Eric Hileman -
Lord God, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
