Eric and I weren't close, nor did we even see eachother after highschool. But I remember him; as the morning dew remembers the moon I remember Eric Kidder. We were classmates. Peers just getting by, I wasn't a very upstanding student and didn't go with the same crowd, but every class we had together was made brighter and more enjoyable just by Eric's presence. His actions have made a lasting impression on my memory and on many others. I am truly saddened by his passing but I hope people will...

I just wanna say that i never have coached or been around a young man who has touched my life as much as Eric. I have been around a lot of players in my day and attached to quite a few but eric always had and will always have a place in my heart. My condolences to his friends and especially his Family. He will always be my "captain". love you little brother.

My cousin touched many lives. more than can ever be counted. I am told that he looked up to me but he did more and influenced many more lives than I could ever hope to in my entire lifetime. He will be greatly missed by our entire family and I just wish there was something that I could have done for him. I am very blessed for having him in my life and I just hope that people can learn something from the battle that he endured. The lord only takes the truly good from us too soon, he certainly...
