Wilton Eric McCain, lovingly known as Eric, and affectionately called Big E by his friends, passed away at the age of 54. Eric was from San Francisco, California, and leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, brilliance, and a spirit that touched every person blessed to know him. He was an athlete with natural talent, funny, witty, and gifted with a sharp mind. His presence brought comfort, humor, and understanding to the people around him, and his memory will remain a light in the lives he touched.
Eric leaves to grieve his beloved mother Amina, his cherished sister Aisha, and his loving stepfather David, who all loved him deeply and stood by him.
He is also survived by many uncles, aunts, and cousins who will hold his memory close. He was named after his grandfather Wilton McCain, whom he loved and visited.
Eric will be remembered for his kindness, his loyalty, his athletic ability, his brilliance, and the humor that could brighten any day. His heart was gentle, his spirit was strong, and his love for his family was unwavering.
His sister Aisha will continue to honor his life by advocating for him and for every person who deserves compassion, dignity, and respect.
His loved ones take comfort in knowing he is at peace and resting in God's care. They believe his grandparents have welcomed him home with open arms.
A celebration of Eric's life will be shared with family and friends.
May he rest in eternal peace, held forever in love.
