Eric was raised and lived his entire life in Arlington. He loved fishing, the outdoors, and especially spending time with his beautiful daughter Riley whom he was so proud of and hitching up the mules with his stepdad Johnny.

Eric is preceded in death by his father, Jim Anderson, in 2015. He is survived by his daughter Riley Anderson; mom Carol (Johnny) Green; brother Steven (Kim) Anderson; niece Kylee Anderson; nephew Cooper Anderson; several aunts, uncles, cousins and many, many friends.
