Blessings on you Sue and Tommy....I remember you with great fondness.  Sorry for your loss and heaven's gain will sustain you.

Eric was a wonderful, caring, Christian man!  We have so many many memories of hanging out with Daphne and Eric being neighbors that I can’t even count. From the many times hanging out in our pool or their pool, to our hometeam meetings, playing poker, and countless more.  I never met a single person that did not love hanging out with Eric. He touched so many peoples lives! He was a great man and he will be dearly missed

Our heartfelt condolences are with all of you during this difficult time. Sending so much love, big hugs, and prayers.

A caring friend who helped many.  I enjoyed our travels together.
He will be missed.  Our condolences.🙏💙

We were neighbors for several years to the Martin family and have some great memories! Over time they became “framily”. He would always come to the rescue if I had a flat tire and Adam was at work, and he’d always try to help us out. We got to go through the joy’s of parenthood together and spent lots of time in our pools or talking at the fence while he was “smokin’ meat”. He referred to things as “the neighbor”, “the kid”, “the dog”, it always made us laugh. We were part of the Martin Home Team with church and he was always great at leading the Bible study and committed to talk about God and share a meal with friends and neighbors. He was always so easy to talk to and there was a sense of peace that you felt in his presence. He was a great listener and always had insightful input. He was an old soul and we’ve really missed spending time with the Martins/Buquets since they moved. He will be dearly missed and our most sincere condolences to all of his people. We’re sending many prayers.

My husband and I were at the recent trip to Ireland hosted by General Motors. On our first night, we sat in the company of Eric and his son, sharing a quick introduction and chat about where we were each from. He represented Northside, and my husband represented Gunn, and we shared time and space for a brief moment, then often seeing them throughout the various excursions and events. I thought at the time how cool it was to be able to experience beautiful Ireland as father and son. I can only imagine how even more priceless those special memories are today. 

You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We pray God’s comfort restores your soul and gives you strength for the days ahead. He is near to the brokenhearted, and in Him, peace and hope abounds, and we await a heavenly reunion… one day. Until then, may Eric’s legacy live on in each of his children, grandchildren, family, and friends. God bless you all.

The message of Eric‘s unexpected tragic death left us shocked and heartbroken.
14 years ago I was lucky enough to find a second family in Texas. And no matter the distance Eric always stayed family and every time we met again he welcomed me, my friends, my family and my partner with open arms and an open heart.
Eric will be deeply missed! And like he once said about Elvis, Eric isn’t dead, he still lives in our hearts! Rest in peace.

We became friends during 2010 and he help me with the collision center created an area only for body shop parts . I fish together , play golf , we hunt , we went to the hooks game with the whole family and always enjoyed his company you will be missed Brother .

I remember in 8th grade sitting in church with Eric and he wrote on a prayer card to pray that “David Lee Roth gets back together with Van Halen”.  He then dropped it in the passing collection plate. I thought this is a guy I really want to be friends with.

Eric will be truly missed. He was an amazing and wonderful boss with a great sense of humor. So fortunate to have met and worked for him. My deepest condolences to his family..

You will greatly miss. You were a amazing boss and friends. I will miss playing golf with you Buddy.

We are so sorry about Eric’s unexpected death and it’s hard to imagine what it means to his family.

For us we can say that he made our life much easier many years ago as he was a very caring host father for our daughter Christine during her high-school stay in Corpus Christi. She felt very welcome and at home with him and Daphne.

Fortunately we could even meet him in person when he and Daphne came to Munich together with JonMarie. We had wonderful days together and experienced him as a rather quiet person but open to everybody.

Eric, it was great to meet you. Thank you for everything. Rest in peace.

So heartbroken over this…we will miss Eric tremendously. He was such a character and had the best sense of humor, especially when wearing a robe and house shoes outside the house with scotch in-hand….and hair that was inexplicable. 🥰 There are too many memories to share but the Nuggets game is one of my favorite. We love you and will miss you, Eric.
