Eric had nothing more important to him than his relationship with Christ. His greatest priority was seeking to live as Christ and being in the Word of God, and he ensured that he raised his family under the Word. Next to that was his priority first to his wife and then his children. He wanted to be a husband like Christ and the father to his children that he never had. He loved to read books and intentionally gifted godly books to his children every Christmas for their growth. He was known as the wisest, most knowledgeable man by everyone who knew him but he was truly and deeply humble. He saw himself as a great sinner and saw the great mercy that covered all his sin from his Great Savior, Jesus Christ. He spent his life seeking to tell everyone of the One who saved his soul and he died fully trusting in that great and merciful Savior.
