Eric Biermann Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Eric lit up every room from the moment that he walked in. He always loved to be surrounded by his family and friends, especially when that meant going out to eat. He had a heart of gold and was devoted to his friends. Eric had more than a few people who considered him their best friend. He simply had a way to make everyone feel special. If you needed a confidant, a cheerleader, a tour guide or partner in crime, Eric was your guy. He just made people happy. He had a passion for reading and writing, which enabled him to always have the right thing to say in his messages to those he loved.
Cherished son of Ken and Sharon (nee McIlmail). Beloved brother of Todd (Andrea). Devoted uncle of Ava. Adventure Buddy of Dixon Cuff. Dear nephew of Maureen Kochanek and James McIlmail. He will be missed by his many loving "fousins".

Eric was one of the best things about living in West Hollywood. My now husband, Christian and I loved every minute of our time with him...I always felt such a close bond to him...it's not something I can put into words - just a strong bond - a mutual adoration...he had such a gift of sharing love and light with others. I think having read all of the stories about him...I realize this was not unique to me - this is just who he was. I will never forget all the beautiful spiritual conversations we found ourselves in - in the corners of the parties...finding some solace in the afternoon sun...while mayhem surrounded us. He had such a beautiful soul that shined brighter than even those gorgeous blue eyes...I believe God has a special seat just for him...where he may be at peace. My sincerest condolences to his family for this tremendous loss.

I met Eric on the set of Dr Phil approx 15 years ago. He was from the same area of PA as me so we hit it off and became friends on Facebook. Very sad to pass at such a young age.. Condolences to the family.

The world's a little less bright without Eric's smile. I feel fortunate to have known him and to have shared lots of laughter and fun over the years.

We worked on a UK shoot together - hard work but Eric made things better and brighter. What a lovely, lovely chap who will be missed xxx

This is such a loss. I, too, taught Eric at SJP. He always worked to make others smile. I loved watching his career flourish and see how happy he was with life. His smile will be a wonderful addition to heaven. My thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends right now. This sadness is profound.

Holding the family in my thoughts and prayers at this most sad heartbreaking news. Eric was a good friend of my son since high school. The (extended) St. Joseph´s Prep family mourns the loss of a bright soul, a good friend and Man for Others. May he rest in peace. May your memories bring you peace.

I am very sorry to hear of Eric's Passing. Eric was the very best friend to my childhood best friend. Eric always welcomed me into the two-some and was absolutely kind, open and gentle in those childhood, tween and teen years. He often had advice for tween drama that was wise beyond his years. Eric took the time to really see people. Sending my love and light to all those who were able to be in the light of Eric.

Eric´s smile was incandescent. He was kind, thoughtful, smart, fun and funny. He was an excellent bread baker and Christmas tree decorator, making holidays special. He will be sadly missed.

This breaks my heart. I taught Eric at St. Joe's Prep and always found him to be a kind kid with a big smile for all. He brought great enthusiasm to everything he did, and he made the Prep a better place. My sincere condolences to Eric's family and friends and all who were lucky enough to know him. May he rest in peace.

I am a very good childhood friend of Andrea´s. Over the past few years, she has told me about her amazing brother in-law. She shared with me what a wonderful, kind, and loving person Eric was. During our conversations, it was very evident how much she adored him, and she told me that he was the absolute best uncle to Ava.
My heart breaks for you. Hold all the memories you shared with him close to your heart.
Sending my consolescenes and love.
