Eric was one of those very rare individuals who put others before himself. The world will be a much poorer place because of his loss. My sympathies to his family and thank you for sharing Eric with us, however briefly.

Eric was an an amazing person and a great friend. I went to Herzing with Eric and I was always happy when I had class with him. He was a helpful, kind and driven individual. Even if we had an early morning class, he was always happy to be there. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to those who needed it. He has touched the lives of so many and he will be missed dearly. My condolences to his family and friends.I will miss you Eric.

Eric and I started Herzing at the same time. I felt close to him as he was close to my own age. He was always such a nice guy. Always had a smile and a hello for you when you saw him. I can imagine the pain you are feeling at the moment, I just lost both my parents to car crash in October. It is especially hard to lose some one so young and active as he was. Your family will be in my prayer in your time of great need.
