I am so saddened to hear about Erik's passing (which I just learned of). I don't know the circumstances, but his spirit is in my prayers. Erik and I were childhood friends and met in the third grade in Columbia, South Carolina. His family moved to Simpsonville a couple of years later and we kept in touch — and saw each other during the summer breaks from school — until just before our high school years, when we went our separate ways and pursued our path in life.
After years of...

My heart goes out to the family. I knew Erik from church and always loved running into him at Kroger. I know he's in Gods presence now and I look forward to seeing him again, not in Kroger but in Glory!

Erik was a customer of mine over the years, and then a supplier, and then a mentor and friend. I just now heard the news of his passing. Such a light he was. Thoughts and prayers continue for the family.

He was well liked in high school. Such a sweet young man he was. I was really sorry to hear of his passing.

I first met Erik when I was looking for a lease to start my business, at that time i didn't have a lease or faith. I can honestly say that without Erik I would not have a business or Faith. He coached me through my first years as a entrepreneur and helped me make the transition from an atheist to Christian. He lead by example of how to bring one's faith into the workplace, I can't thank him enough for that.
I will truly miss Erik and even though I don't understand why he was...

I had the privilege of reffing soccer with Mr. Henson a couple times. He was a truly kind soul. He also gave me some advice that really helped me at the time. He will be remembered by his kindness. Prayers for his family and friends. May he rest In peace with our Lord.

I had a business relationship with Erik for several years. We shared many values and were in lockstep regarding many things including our faith. Always enjoyed our conversations. So sorry to hear about this. My prayers are with his family and business associates.
