My fondest memory of Eric was from middle school and we studied together. It is so sad to hear of his passing. He was so intelligent and always happy. His entire family was loving and kind. Condolences from the Young/Yeary family.

I am sorry that I am unable to offer my condolences in person and celebrate Eric's life. His example always challenged me to strive for academic excellence while being kind and having a little fun. We are all better to have know him.
