Not sure what to say?

I knew Eric in high school as the drummer everyone wanted to be. He was a big brother to my little drummer self. To his family and friends-- you are in my thoughts & prayeres.

Eric was a great friend and an exceptional musician.

Brea,
You were the funniest guy I ever met! There were so many times you'd make me laugh so hard that my stomach hurt, or I'd cry! Like all those times you, Matt, Chad and I would hang out and drive around in the Super Nova, causing trouble! I'll never forget the night that we stayed up late "Vogue" dancing in your living room and making fun of videos on Mtv!
You were so talented...I was always a little envious of how awesome your art was. And it blew my mind how you could pick...

There are no words that can fully express the feelings of this sorrowful crux. Anyone that met Eric knew of his immense talents, wonderful personality and intelligence despite his shy persona. A pure and wonderful soul, Eric graced anyone surrounding him
with his presence and charisma. The memories I have of Eric are infinite, although I feel that there should have been many more.

I have memories of watching Eric play music in environments that varied from authentic venues to...

My heart goes out to your family. I never knew Eric, but judging by the many entries in his guest book, he was well loved.

Eric- you were such a great person to be around … you always filled the room with laugher and kindness. You will be truly missed by so many individuals that admired not only your talents but also the kind of person you were. You would do anything for anyone no matter what it was…which showed how much of a considerate, loving, true friend you really were. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family, God bless you all.

Elo, You were such a wonderful loving and happy person! I will miss your silly laugh! :) We had so many great moments that I will remember forever.

Eric, it's been a long time, but you always made me smile and feel so okay. I never went to a Corporate Gun show, but I have a CD. I guess I was a secret fan. I was always so impressed with your talent, your quiet confidence, and persistent smile. I'm sorry I wasn't there more. you were a good person and the world is a little less without you.

Our deepest sympathies to your family. Eric was a good kid with a great sense of humor. He will be missed even if I only knew him for a short time.
