Not sure what to say?

We are heartbroken for Eric´s family and are praying for God´s presence in your time of sorrow.

So sorry to hear of Eric's passing. He was a wonderful person, a kid that every parent would be proud of. I didn't see Eric that often, but when I did, he was always up beat, a positive attitude about his illness, gentle, kind, and extremely friendly. He put up a courageous fight over these passed few years, but now rest in the arms of the Lord. Your job here is now done, and you definitely left a foot print anyone would be proud to walk in, not to mention the Goodness you radiated to...

I am so sad to hear this. Eric was in my graduating class and was always so funny and nice. He got along with everyone. I will always remember his laugh and smile. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

Ed & Adelle were class mates with me ! I got to work with Eric doing harvest on occasion! He was a shining star! Such terrible loss of a youg life very much needed in these times! My Dearest and deepest sympathies to all of his family! I ll will miss him !

I had the pleasure of knowing Eric’s mom and dad through work and I remember when Eric was born and how excited Ed and Adele were to have a son join their family .my girls and I would often go to the pumpkin parade when the kids were young and enjoy sitting and visiting together with the Gabriel’s. Eric was an outstanding young man and will be missed by all who knew him. My condolences to his wife, children, parents and sister.

Toni and family, I’m so very sorry for your loss. Thinking of you all during this very difficult time. ❤
