I am so sorry for your loss. It always a good time to chat and hang with you Eric, from bike rides to bon fires, drinks and fun, teaching me about ammo and guns, programming and cooking on the grill. I have the memories of you in my heart. I´m glad I got to know more. Your smile and presence is missed so much. Fly high in heaven friend I know you´ll be shining down on us, especially on those bike rides and when grilling up a feast... prayers and deepest condolences to the family. Rest In Peace Eric. Miss you.

I skated with Eric when he was in high school and I was an adult skater/judge. He was also so friendly and kind. Thinking of all who were close to him.

Tom and Kari, I am so sorry for your tragic loss. I had so much fun connecting with Eric this summer and talking about mountain biking. We were planning to ride Cuyuna next summer. Sending all my wishes to you and Eric´s loved ones.
