What was Eric like?

He was a kind person. He had a vivacious laugh and a smile that would light up a room. He had a great sense of humor, was always good for a laugh. His niece Kaelyn was shy of six when he passed, she was the true love of his life, as was his sister.

Favorite memory of Eric

There are so many great memories, I have shared some already. We will be coming upon 10 yrs without him in just a few days. How did we get here? I miss my baby!!

What will be missed most about Eric

His voice, his smile, his laugh! All the memories and tomorrows that we will never get to share. His niece Nora, who look so much like him when he was a toddler, will never share memories, although we speak of him so much she believes she knows him. And I’m sure his spirit is surrounding her. I miss him not being around for holidays dinners. He was always the first to compliment a good home cooked meal! He was a good eater, but, you wouldn’t know it to look at him. I miss everything about him!!!

How will Eric like to be remembered?

As the brother who loved his sister and was always there when she needed him. As the favorite uncle who loved to spend time with his niece Kaelyn, he always took her with him for the end of year dog swims at the local pool with his dog Mandy. She was the light of his life. He would let her stay up late and watch tv, and tell her not to tell mommy. As the friend who was always there no matter the circumstances, always trying to help. A son, who loved his momma and stepfather with all he had.
