ERIC JOHN GOEPFERT

GOEPFERT, Eric John Lovingly Remembered 37, died on Tuesday, March 13, 2018, after a three-year battle with brain cancer. In 2006, Eric graduated from Baylor School of Medicine and in 2009, he met his devoted husband Brian McDonnell. Eric had a phenomenal memory and a truly beautiful, creative mind. He loved to teach, to learn, to facilitate relationship building, and to fight for people and things that demanded advocacy. Eric was a committed physician and was a founding faculty member of the Autism Behavior Clinic at Tufts where the Annual Faculty Teaching Award has been renamed the Eric Goepfert, M.D. Faculty Teaching Award in his honor. He will be sorely missed, but his warm laughter, inquisitive mind, infectious energy, and kind words will live on in those he touched. A memorial service was held last weekend. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made per Eric's wish to the American Family Therapy Academy (AFTA.org) and a full version of the obituary can be viewed at: https://lawlerfuneralhome.com/obituaries.html
