I never bought you that beer I owed you... we met on Legendfire, and I will always remember our late nights and poetry we shared; even if it never ended well, there is so much appreciation and deep love here; I'm really sorry you hate semi-colons, but I love you for that and so much more Mr. Vargas. I hope to meet on the other side, at least we can meet in our dreams dear sir.

Eric shined bright in life. His sense of humor and camaraderie is deeply missed. My condolences to family and friends.

Eric was a tireless human with many aspirations. His wanderlust was highly evident in his life. He was very intelligent, outgoing and thoughtful. I am saddened by his loss of life, but admire his zest for democracy and coming to the aid of others in protecting democracy and life. Semper Fi...Until Valhalla!

Eric was one of the most intelligent, dedicated, thoughtful, principled students I have ever taught. He will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, Eric. You made this world better by being in it.
