This is many years late, Eric had a light that he exuded. He was one of the funniest and most positive people I had ever met. I cannot believe he's gone.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever. He was a very special person inside and out! Even though i didnt know him for a long time he still touched my heart with his silly ways and for just being his self. Ever time he came in my kids would run to him and mess with him... He will be missed but never forgotten!:(

Doris, Mike, and Scott, we are so sorry for your loss. Eric was a treasure...a loving son and brother, a proud father, and a steadfast friend. He lived a dozen lifetimes in these short 34 years....the tales that were told. I can still hear his laugh. He will be missed. All of our love and prayers, Danny and Judy
