Eric wad truly one of the best friends i have ever had. He was loyal and caring and so much fun. I miss the days of him Mindy and I doing everything together. It was a good time in my life when they were around . Eric had a way about him that made everyone love him and want to be around him. I miss him everyday and I think of him just as often..... he was an amazing person and friend, a good man and if you didn't know him you were truly missing out. He was just the greatest coolest guy. His parents are proud of who he was i know it. A kind and good heart...you can't ask for much more . And he had both.... I miss him and his friendship. I hope that his family is doing well. These days that come around are hard and bittersweet. But the memories keep our hearts beating... Love you Eric. I wish you were here. Ill always remember and miss you.

Eric was so amazing to me such a wonderful friend. I could turn to him when I could turn to no one else. I just loved him. As it was easy to do. I miss him everyday and think about him just as much. I have his name tattooed on my foot over the left vein that runs straight to your heart because that is where he stays in my heart forever. I can't believe we have been without him for so long . I can still hear him laugh. He was such a happy and helpful soul. I miss him.

God is near to those that are broken at heart and those crushed in spirit he saves. God will sustain you and help you to endure.
