He really touched so many lives with his warm smile and big heart. My biggest regret is not being able to see his face one more timein the physical world. He had a natural ability to make you feel comfortable and that he would always be there for you as a friend. Never thought I would take his passing as hard as I did. Rest in peace beautiful soul. God needed you more...

Eric was like a son or younger brother to me. I was unable to attend funeral because my heart is broken. My life will never be the same without my friend. He was part of the Rylander family. I love you Eric and you will always hold a special place in my heart. Our kids shared special moments throughout the year and I hope I am able to reach out to them when the time is right. I LOVE YOU MY FRIEND

I loved Eric from the moment I met him (when he was 10 years old). I will never forget his sweetness and kind hearted soul. The last time I saw him was very special for me since it had been ions since seeng him last. (It was Michael's going away party at Danielle's apartment.)
