I was shocked and saddened to hear about Eric's passing. He moved into his home in Stonepoint the same time I did. We always smiled and chatted when we saw each other in the neighborhood. Loved that his front door was always open and enjoyed the love he had for his sons. Eric will be missed by all of his Stonepoint neighbors. RIP Eric.

So very sorry about Eric's passing. He was like a big brother to me growing up. He always watched out for me, scrutinized my dates telling them they better be good to me and gave me advice when I needed it. He will be missed here but heaven is an even brighter place with him there.

Hard to believe the world has lost this bright light! My entire family LOVED him dearly! Eric was the brother myself and two sisters never had. He joined us many times on the big holidays and he just always fit right in! We're all better off for having had him in our lives. As I write this, I'm smiling because of all the goods times we had (he'd love that)! Will miss you so very much.

My sincere condolences to the Sanchez Family and friends. Please take note of the comforting words at 1 Thessalonians 4:14 and the beautiful hope of seeing your loved one again.

I will miss this guy terribly, he was indeed an amazing storyteller, and a better friend. He was incredibly proud of his boys and he spoke of them often. Travel well , Eric, the world is a little less festive without you in it.

Eric will forever be my favorite hispanic / work husband. I have many fond memories of Eric coming into the office and announcing as he walked up to my desk, I'm here, your favorite hispanic! Eric was a very caring, loving person who loved his boys more than words could possibly share. You will be missed and I will never forget your generosity, compassion and words of wisdom and love that you shared. I will see you again my favorite hispanic/work husband.
