Eric had this funny way of making me smile, he would say Sarah, I heard this nasty rumor of you the other day just to see my facial expression when I see he was lying! I think he did it so I would snap out of my mood and give him a smile. He cared like that. He picked up on little things. Always wanted to cheer people up. He was good at it too. Shared his shaman wisdom. Kind, generous and free spirited. Im sorry I failed to be there for you, Eric. You will be missed ❤

There is no way we can imagine the pain and sorrow you are now experiencing. There are no words that can be said to ease Eric's passing. We were once told sorrow is love with no where to go, only time and the memories began the healing. We wish we could have met him. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love and hugs to you all.

Having been dear friends of Eric's grandparents, Dick and Barb, for so many years, my heart and soul go out to you and your family on the death of Eric. You are all truly in my thoughts and prayers. Eric is now in the arms of God! I am sorry I cannot attend the service today; however, the streets around my neighborhood are are closed off for this evening's Christmas Parade, and I cannot get out. With deepest sympathy, Judy Matz

Wow. I dont know where to begin. This has been one of the most difficult passings to deal with because I never thanked Eric for being my friend. Eric saved me as a child. I was bullied, ditched and constantly excluded from a group whom I thought were my friends but never Eric. Eric was always there. Eric was always the greatest friend and I never got to tell him how much his friendship meant to me. I have so many amazing memories and moments of laughter with him. I still cant believe this is real. I wish one day I will be able to give him a hug and to tell him how much he meant to me. I just want to be hanging in his basement, hearing the phone ring and to here the robotic voice go call from Ven-it-oxic- David I couldnt tell you how many times me and Eric laughed hysterically because of the way the phone announced his last name. Rest In Peace always Eric. You will always be my best friend. I love you so much and cant thank you enough for always being there and always being my friend.
