RIP nephew see one day in heaven

Dearest Mike, Cyndy, family and friends: My heart is heavily burdened for all of you in the sad and sudden loss of Eric. He was such a special person and I was so proud to call him my nephew. He possessed the happiest disposition and he was always smiling. People were always greeted by him with open arms and a warm hug. Although I did not get to see him as often as I would have liked, I was blessed by him when we did meet. He was so special to talk to and I will never forget those precious moments in time. He was the cutest little boy-so happy, and I know how much he loved the R.O.T.C. Program at Boca High. I was so proud of him at his High School Graduation and I know how much Eric loved the Lord. Now I can just picture him, beaming from ear to ear as he is in the presence of the Lord-praising Him night and day. We will all miss Eric here on Earth but our loss is heaven´s gain. Until we meet again Eric, know you are loved and truly missed.

I´m so sorry for your loss. Eric always has such a sweet demeanor. Always a smile. He´s prob surfing with my brother on the best waves they could ever imagine! I pray the Lord continues to wrap his loving arms around you all!

Eric for a time was going to Calvary Chapel Church for a time with a group of us. He was always in a good and happy mood. I have many fond memories of our youth. When we were younger we used to love playing the board game risk, but our favorite was stratego. Eric was always the blue army and I was always the red army. As we got older a group of us would link up and play a computer game called Age of Empires. I remember during those times, we nick named him E-Trade, but that's a Tale for another time. But the real story to share was his belief in our Lord. It is because of his belief and and his salvation that all who believe will see him again, as King David exclaimed in 2 Samuel 12:23. Eric now is in a place, where all is perfect for an eternity. So until we meet again, save me a seat and the Lords table.

P.S. - Ecclesiastes 7:1 - your name and reputation will always remain.

Well.done good and faithful servant.

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Eric was a childhood friend in my neighborhood. Within months of moving to Cedar Ridge, I was riding bikes, shooting hoops, collecting baseball cards, swimming and playing pickle at the Thornton´s with Eric and Trent. Eric was a kind soul and would always give you the whole truth, even if you didn´t want to hear it. For anyone that never knew him, he was a good man with a pure heart. His intentions were based in altruism and though the rest of us aged and changed, Eric remained to be the boy that I grew up with, just with more responsibilities and facial hair. Thank you Eric for being my friend when I needed it most and treating me like one of the boys. You were my first pretend band mate (Zeta 2) and boogie boarding buddy. Help guide your brother and sister up there in the spirit world and I will see you again ol´ friend.

I will always remember Eric and his laugh and the way he always wanted to tease you Lindsay! The word that comes to mind is kindness when I think of your brother. We love your family and so deeply sorry for this great loss. I am sure he is surfing on heavenly waves, with endless golden hours!

Love,
Becca Sward xo

Mike, Cyndy and Family
Our prayers are with you.

Eric was a kind and gentle person who had the strongest work ethic of anyone I have ever known. His love of animals was something to be emulated. Miss Penny says "thanks for all your love and attention". He will be missed greatly. Fly high, Eric. Check out that rainbow bridge since you will be in the neighborhood.
