I did not know Eric personally but I was there in Hadley Park at the African Street Festival the night of his death. And have been thinking about him and his family ever since. I remember praying for the news that he had survived but that news was not to come. So, now I pray for understanding for his family and friends and for myself. As the Bible states....blessed are they who mourn for they shall find comfort. Comfort in knowing that Eric is alright and at peace in the loving hands of God. Comfort in knowing that God is with you and knows the pain of your loss. Comfort in knowing that we shall understand it better by and by.
God Bless you All

I first met Eric Jackson my sophomore year of high school in February 2010. Being the "new kid" I was extremely worried as to how my classmates would treat me. Mr. Jackson and I had computer science class together that semester and he made it a point to make me comfortable throughout the transition. His jokes, antics, and laughs filled the classroom with joy. He will truly be missed not only by me, but by his entire Liberty family.
May your soul be in eternal peace and may your family find their own peace through loving memories.
I'll miss you.

I met Eric at Freeland Chevrolet where we worked, he was a bit younger than my boys. My heart goes out to his family. Eric was such a smart, bright, good looking young man with so much of a future ahead of him. He was so nice and polite to everyone, a pleasure to be around. I am in shock concerning his death... what a waste of such a good person. Rest in peace Eric, you are a beautiful soul.
My prayers and heart go out to his family. Bless you all. Eric was a wonderful young man and you should be proud of the person he was. God help and heal you all.
