I just found out about this terrible/unfortunate travesty. This is unreal to me. What a wonderful, intelligent, witty, focused individual Erik was. I had the fortunate pleasure of meeting his aquantaince as his AF recruiter and I have to this date not met a person with the intellect and drive that Erik had. My heart hearts today and will do so everytime I see his picture on my wall. Miss you Bro! (904)237-2763. Please would someone from the family reach out to me.

I still can't believe your gone and I don't ever know when this nightmare will ever seem real. The selfish part of me wishes it was someone else's son, someone else's friend, someone else's love but the strong part of me knows your at peace. Kandace and Sandra I know there is no hug I can give, no words I can say to calm your pain, but I do know Erik loved you both very much and appreciated you both, he is watching down on you and wants you guys to find strenghth thru this. I am blessed I met him and got to share so much with him because of him I am a better me.. may he rest peacefully in paradise! God.needed him more than we did!
