Eric graduated from Patrick Henry Highschool in 2019. He loved the cold weather and had the dream to move out west to Idaho or Montana. He enjoyed graphic design and loved his cats dearly. He began working at Dollar General in Montpelier and really loved his new found freedom. Eric will be remembered for his calm quiet nature and will be deeply missed by those who loved him.
