Eric David Vanderpool

Missing him every day, especially today.
But today I'm remembering when we went snowboarding and I fell more times than I can count. Even though he could've just met me at the bottom, he went my pace, stopped, and helped me up every single time. Laughing at me of course, but so was I. Such a great day.
So much love to you all, I hope you're remembering the great memories that mean so much.
Miss you E

Eric was a stellar man who would love to be outdoors with friends or skate. I clearly remember looking out my dorms and seeing him skate around or say he was coming back from the local skatepark. Just saw you not even a few months ago but damn brother, Rest In Peace homie you will be dearly missed.

Judy,

Life is too fleeting! It sounds like Eric made every moment count!
I'm so sorry for Eric leaving you so soon. Xavier and he were good friends and is very saddened by the news. Our prayers are with you and him.

Eric has always been a kind, gentle and warm hearted person, he's done so much to help me get to where I had to in life, he actually helped me acquire a drivers license and help me practice for months, when it was time for me to take the test, he came to pick me up early to get some more practice in before my test. I passed and with the tips he gave me, I will always remember the good times.. he will always be a close friend to me and hold a special place in my heart. My sincerest condolences...

Dear Judy...You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope it is some small comfort to know that all of your colleagues from St. Francis have you in our hearts and on our minds. God bless...

Judy and Family,

As one of Jeffrey's former teachers at Smith School, my heart broke to read of the passing of Eric. I can not even begin to imagine the pain that you are all enduring. Please know that many cared about him and the he and the rest of your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for the conversations and random memories over the years. Your personality on the board was calm and cool just like you. Make sure you're still skating in heaven so when I get there well be ripping together. Love you bro always and forever <3

My heartfelt sympathy to Judy and the boys, Kevin, Brian, and Jeffrey. I remember Eric so well from Smith School. He was a sweet, smart, quiet, but stubborn little guy who knew his own mind. I am so saddened to hear that his life has been cut short. My heart is with all of you as you deal with your loss.
