In July of 2022, he established his own business, Ground View Excavating, LLC. He was extremely proud of his work and of his dump truck that he just had completed for his new business.
Eric was full of life and was always quick with a joke. He was a wonderful father and loved his fiancé, his children and his dog, Lincoln, more than anything. Everything he worked for and did was for them. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, motocross, snowmobiling, motorcycles and muscle cars.
