I lived down the street from Eric. When I was in High School, Eric would be the Hulk at pep rallies which made Tempe High School bearable and I always felt that he was a hero...a super hero and a super man.

Erik was one of my younger brother's best friends and was always a good guy to be around...he was like a little brother to me, my buddy. He was a kind and gentle spirit and will be missed terribly.

I lost contact with Erik after he graduated from high school but I will always remember him as a kind and gentle guy who brought a lot of fun and joy to our school with his wonderful and fun loving personality.
May God use his passing to bring many to Himself. And may God bring peace to the hearts of Erik's family and friends.
