Eric had an infectious smile that could light up a room.

He never met a stranger and was in turn loved by everyone he met.

Eric had a keen sense of humor, and was a charismatic, fun loving, genuine man who stuck to his convictions and refused to compromise his beliefs.

He loved sports, golfing, traveling, the great outdoors, all kinds of music, dancing, his Papa’s truck, microbrews, spending time with friends and family, and working with children.

He brought out the best in everyone and truly made the world a better place with his presence.

He was the epitome of living out loud.

Eric was gone too soon but will never be forgotten.

His memory will live in our hearts forever.

Sleep well my love, until we meet again.
