Wow my heart is hurting and sad for all who knew Eric. What a loss to our community and all that knew him. He changed many lives and shared his passion and light with so many! An angle in our midst now looking over us in a different perspective and place. Can´t wait to see you again dear friend! Thank you for being a living example of kindness and excellence.

I don´t know if the Eric Cerwin family will see this but I was Eric´s neighbor at his his parents lake cottage at Bass Lake in Wisconsin in the 1970´s. We became fast friends & had alot of fun together. Out of the blue I looked him up & found out the tragic news he passed & I can´t tell you how sorry I am. He was 1 of the funniest, craziest, coolest guy I ever came across & thou I haven´t seen him in maybe 40 years, I´ll never forget him. Please tell Todd @ Janis how sorry I am & if they ever want to get ahold or to call me @ 715-275-3029. Again, my condolences, Paul Fermanich

I first met Dr. Cerwin after dislocating a rib from my spinal column while studying Aikido. After canceling my first appointment, because of hearsay about chiropractors, I made a second appointment and kept that appointment. I was so strung out on painkillers from my family doctor for months that I was suicidal. After only three weeks with Dr Cerwin, I was sleeping through the night with no painkillers, after about six months of treatment I was fixed. I am saddened to find out today about Dr Cerwin passing away, I would no be alive today had I not met Dr Cerwin. RIP

Eric was a friend and colleague. He was always someone that I could trust for guidance and support. He taught me a lot about being a husband, father and chiropractor. He was truly a great man and will be greatly missed.

Dear Renée and family
Hearing about Erics sudden passing left me in shock and with great sadness. As his class- and roommate at NCC I remember his compassion, his humorous wit and his brilliant mind. I thought of him often through the years and I wish I had kept in touch across the ocean despite the busy lifes we all seem to lead every day. He will always be in my heart as a great friend and I hope for you all that the pain and sadness will soon be replaced by beautiful and loving memories!
Love

I was so honored to have been part of your family when your children were young. You and your family were so kind to me and treated me just like family. Eric was an amazing father and family man. I loved his strength and passion in everything he done. Even though it has been many years since we have been in touch, I loved seeing your family grow through pictures on Facebook. I am truly sorry for your loss and pray for peace and comfort in the coming days.

Renee and Family, I am just now seeing Robin's post and have been out of town all week. I am shocked and so deeply saddened. What a kind and wonderful man, and what a great doctor he was. I always enjoyed my interactions with him in the office. I know how proud he was of you and those kids. Please know you all will be in mine and Kendall's prayers, as we thought the world of Eric.

November 23, 2019

Eric will be missed terribly. He was one of the kindest, most loving and gentle souls I have ever met. I am so grateful to have known him and the opportunity to spend time learning so much from him. His legacy of love and kindness for all will be carried on.

Todd & Deanna, Janet and the rest of the family are in my constant thoughts and prayers. Logan, Savannah and Graham, he loved you guys so much and was so proud of all 3 of you.

Eric, you are gone, but never forgotten and will be carried in my heart. ❤

I was referred to Dr. Cerwin a number of years ago from a friend after I injured my back while moving here from Virginia. Immediately I was impressed by his kind & genuine concern for my well-being. This injury and fall a few years later required frequent visits. His chiropractic knowledge was exceptional as was his performance. During this time, we discovered we had a number of mutual friends and became good friends too. I would come in early so we could talk and support each other in lifes trials. I join what I am sure is all that knew him in saying he will be missed greatly.

Eric: You have fought the good fight and your race is won. I am a better person for knowing you. Thank you. I pray that you rest in the arms of our Lord forever.

Family: I know you are all hurting and Im sorry. As time passes it will get better. I pray the Lord fills your hearts with His peace, love, and understanding so there is no room left for pain.

The girls (Logan, Savannah, Alex): You probably arent smiling much right now but one day you will. As Ive always told you, your smiles brighten everybodys day. I look forward to seeing you in the future and seeing those smiles. God bless you all.

With sympathy & respect,
Larrie Matthews

For the brief 45 minutes I met with Dr. Cerwin, he was the most sincere and genuine person I have met in a very long time. He spoke about the love he had for his children and his passion for chiropractic care. He was an amazing man and gone way too soon. I'm so terribly sorry for your loss and will be thinking of everyone in the family.

Eric was extremely helpful to me during
a very difficult time in my life and career. He personified what I aspired to become as a Chiropractor and individual following that time.
The last time I saw him was in Atlanta in 2015 totally by coincidence.
May the Peace of God that surpasses all understanding be with you.

Renee, Logan, Savannah & Graham,
There are no words I can say to ease your pain right now but PLEASE know how much I love each of you and pray that God's comfort will soon come to each of you. It will come to you in different ways and at different times. I'll never forget my first "sign" that Al was with me and letting me know it too. I had stopped by the cemetery one day on my way home from work ( which I went there every single day for over a year, rain, shine, snow, whatever.) Our church chimes played three songs every hour on the hour. One of the hymns we had at his service was "Here I Am Lord" or also known as "I, the Lord of Sea and Sky". It was a VERY special hymn to the four of us, just because we loved it, but Al and I also served as Church Youth Advisors for over ten years and we normally sang this as our anthem on Youth Sunday. That was one of the very first decisions I made when making his funeral arrangements was to include that hymn. Well, this particular day I stopped at the cemetery, this hymn was the middle one that played. Then, you literally could've knocked me off my feet as the final hymn started. What was it? "It is Well With My Soul." I'm sitting here at work at my desk crying just thinking back on that day. From then on, many days other special hymns played during my visits. After I told my girls about this experience they both wanted "their time or sign" with their Dad too. It wasn't long before Ashleigh had her first one. She and her Dad shared such a love and passion for the weather. (At one point after Twister was released in theaters, Ashleigh decided she wanted to become a storm chaser. Thank goodness Mom didn't have to live with that reality !!! Anyway, I'm fairly certain her first experience was a rather active thunderstorm. She immediately said, Daddy visited today. Then, poor Breanne kept waiting and waiting to get her "sign" from above. It was months after his death but she finally got what she was waiting on. One day after work she was driving from Chapin to Little Mountain to visit his grave. She said she couldn't find anything on the radio she wanted to listen to, and then, Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar" started playing. BINGO !! Her "sign" had finally arrived. Not many people knew it, but there was a guy that worked with Al and when that song came out, he would go around the shop singing "Mmmm, I Love Big Al (in place of this bar). It was ALL she needed to know her Dad was there with her. So I don't know how or when you four will get your signs from Eric, but I believe with all my heart, it's gonna happen. From someone who's been there (albeit different circumstances), take comfort in those tiny, but SO important messages from Eric letting you know he's there and still watching over ya'll. Also, just all the wonderful memories you have individually and as a family. We talk about Al a lot and bring up varying memories we have. We've enjoyed quite a few family stories since April, 2010. I can't believe it's been almost 10 years.!! And Renee, I know you have a lot more family, work family, and friends (both in Newberry & Charlotte) that will be there for you and help you and the kids work through it even on the days you think you won't make it. Every "Wicker" function we've had since Al's death (funerals, reunions, etc.), I've always felt like you were the one from the family that's been most there for me. You have NO IDEA what it's meant to me, and I want to be there for you as well. Again, we endured different circumstances but the end result is the same. I LOVE you (and your family) girl !
I'm always there for you if you want to talk. No one can truly understand that hasn't experienced it.
Love & Prayers to you ALL,
Kim & Ashleigh
Breanne, Jeremy & Aubree

PS: After Al's death, every time somebody asked me what they could do, my constant reply was, just pray for us. (even tho some appliance may have needed repairing, all I asked for were prayers. I never would have gotten this far without my Faith !)

What a shock to lose this wonderful man! Dr. Cerwin was my chiropractor, but after 15 years, I really considered him my friend. Dr. Cerwin went beyond the realm of his profession and recognized problems far beyond what we considered his field. He recognized illnesses and difficulties, often before we did. He was loving and compassionate, and wanted his patients to have the best life possible. To his family, I offer my deepest sympathy. The world lost a truly wonderful person.

I am shocked and saddened by Dr. Cerwins passing. I have known him since he first started practicing. He was a kind, caring person and a great doctor.

Our prayers go first to the family but also to the community of friends, co-workers and patients he nurtured, challenged and led. We were all blessed by his humble yet huge presence in our lives. May God bless you now, Eric!
