Eric, gone too soon. You and my other cousins are core memories of my youth. When I think of my childhood you are the main person that comes to mind. Us playing charades, riding bikes and scooters through the neighborhood, eating and laughing with one another. You are in better arms now, but your memory and spirit and essence live on cousin. I love you man. Rest In Power.

I really don't know what to say but it so obvious you love your family. The way your eyes lit up when you saw your cousin Blanca. You treated with respect and it's hard to believe that your gone. Your an ancestor now, may you continue to watch over your family.

Unfortunately I didn't see Eric as often as I wanted to. But every time I saw him, he gave me the biggest hugs and had the brightest smile on his face. I will always cherish that. I love you family.

Eric! My heart goes out to your entire family. I need you to do me a big favor though...me knowing the power of prayer, and being a recipient of God´s benevolence and omniscience. His time is far more greater than ours, his timing is divine. My request is, send your prayers to your parents, your siblings, your wife...and most of all your children! We´re all going to need it, to survive without your radiant smile...but your kids, cover them! Rest easy lil cuz~~The flesh passes, your spirit and prayers don´t!~~

Eric, you overcame and accomplished a lot in such a short time. I´m glad I got tons of video footage of all the times we shared camping and just hanging out at your house. The love you had for your family was unmeasurable. Rest well, I will miss teasing you when you always ran through the house shirtless and making everyone laugh. You got your since of humor from your mother. Rest well, job well done!

Here's a Bible passage I'd like to share
"Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.]"
John 14:27 AMP

My very favorite moments that I immediately think back to are the times big sissy used to drive from the city to Iowa so that baby girl and you could spend far of the summer to visit Jo´Varres and I.
We all used to put on movies or music just to laugh and sing our selves silly. My love for you and your siblings runs deep and will always.
This is a hard one neph; you made me an auntie!! My heart is super broken behind you. I Will Always Love You Forever & Ever

I got to see Eric / Reggie / Derrick grow from a kid to a man, this man had great character, personality and showed love with jokes and laughter. Funniest moment was when Buck had Eric teach me how to tootsie roll because I lost a bet. Safe to say my tootsie roll got better and my bet was paid..
