My condolences to the Sears family for the loss of Eric, one of my best high school buddies and track teammates. I was there when he did 49.7 seconds in the quarter mile and won district as well. It was always Eric that made difficult things, seem fun. He brought out the best of all those around him.

I love you very much, and only wish that we had the opportunity to share more times together. I will never forget driving down the beach with my favorite uncle, listening to all the things you had to share, and experiencing all the love you had to give. You are missed.

I am saddened to read of Eric's passing as I have wondered for many years how and where he has been. Eric and I attended Terrell Wells Middle School and we had great times and shared lots of laughter. He was very athletic and we played hard during PE. I was with him when he broke his arm. Gladly, I see he did quite well, continued his positive ways, and never lost his smile. I have missed my friend throughout these many years and often wondered of his whereabouts. To the entire Sears Family, and to all his friends, my Sincere Condolences. Rest with God's Peace My Friend.
