Yung E,

Miss you much my boy! Sad that we wasn’t able to have an exchange in dialogue, another game of pool, another link up. Your last text to me was that you joined the stiiz term club and that you missed me around. You said we’ll link up next time your were in the bay. You’ve stained my heart through our overcome hardships, and your peaceful presence. You were loyal and respected. 

I’ll keep your family in my prayers for strength though this tragedy and pray that God has mercy on our souls. Farewell my boy. Love. 

Thanks for always being willing to help and showing kindness. Your support was much needed during our time in the OC. Forever in my heart ♥️.

Genuinely one of the funniest people I’ve ever worked with. Thank you for believing in me my guy. 

Eric tengo tanta tristeza en mi corazón por tu repentina partida con Dios. Te vi crecer atraves de los años como un hijo. Celebrando tus cumpleaños,  tus reconocimientos en la escuela, tus triunfos en el béisbol.  Siempre estarás en mi mente y en corazón con tu bella sonrisa.  Te recordaré con ese brillo de alegría y nostalgia de tus ojos. Siempre admire tu inteligencia y tu humildad y fortaleza en muchas de las adversidades de tu vida. Te prometo estar cerca y cuidar de tu mamá todo lo posible. Deseo que ahora que estas con Dios, estés más feliz y esa sonrisa permanezca para siempre.  Te llevare siempre en mi corazón.  Y en un futuro pueda volver a verte cuando llegue mi tiempo,  no te adiós sino hasta pronto. Te quiero mucho! Ahora descansa en paz.

I wish I had the words to consul you in this time of need. We are saddened by your loss and send you our deepest condolences. As I look at pictures of this young man, I still see the same playful child from when we grew up together playing at your house. I will forever remember the joy in his laugh and carefree spirit. I pray that God will walk with you and help ease your grief. 


Eric  estoy tan cerca de darte el último adiós y todavía espero y deceo que alguien me diga despierta es una pesadilla. Pero desgraciadamente es real  te fuiste pero se que de alguna manera sigues aquí  cuidándome como siempre  ya no me vas a llamar sólo para decirme fea cómo estás? o llegar de sorpresa en mi cumpleaños con mi pastel y un ramo de flores o venir en enero para irnos a las montañas todas esas cosas se fueron contigo , me  quedan lindos recuerdos y agradezco a Dios por regalalarme 33 años de tu compañía te voy a despedir y tendré que esperar que el me llame para volvernos a encontrar  love you mam

To Eric’s family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. Eric and I used to work together at Nike ages ago and he was the sweetest soul. He was such a dedicated person and so compassionate. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. 

In Memory of a Wonderful Brother

I hold onto our memories
 The ones that are so dear
 To try to keep you always close 
Now you are not here 
You were called, it was your time 
But it is so true 
You have left a legacy 
There was no one like you
 You were very special 
And I want to say 
I feel lost in many ways
 You are not here today
 But I will never forget you 
And I know I have been blessed
 To have you for my Brother 
Because you were the best…

Connor and Ethan love you so much- 
They miss you.

We miss you. 



Eric became the Big brother in my life, I was always someone who carried a small circle, Eric was bless full to be part of it. He took a chance on me working with him, he was able to make me the man I am today, he mentor me into new heights, we would travel the world together to get work done, we ended creating a relationship where I found my big brother. The bravest man I always knew because he was willing to take responsibility. 

Eric would wake me up with funny motivational videos and audio messages. Send me videos like this to keep me going. 

From buying sneakers, opening Pokémon cards, and sharing laughs

Eric will always live on in our hearts ❤️ 

I lost my best friend 
My brother
My mentor 
But his spirit will always stay alive in me 
I’ll keep your legacy going on 

Rest in Paradise Papa
I love you Eric 



Hello my name is joanna and I had the honor of meeting and working with Eric at stiiizy. He was very hard working, passionate and intelligent. Although he was also very professional he was a huge goofball! Always making everyone laugh. He will be missed and forever loved by many ♥️

We miss you Eric. We miss your humor. We miss your sincerity. We miss your presence. I didn't realize until now how much of a brother you were to me - A brother to struggle with, contend with, and grow with. You are in our hearts and thoughts. You are with us in Spirit. See you again soon. Love you 

Eric and the STIIIZY fam 

I can’t narrow it down to one favorite memory with Eric. He was a best friend and an extra brother I didn’t know I needed. To know him was to know belly full of laughter with constant jokes and sweetness wrapped into one. His hugs were the best and our adventures were always what we needed. Time and life separated us but when we would check in on each other it was like no time has passed. Now I think about all our memories and tears of sadness and joy roll down my cheeks. He is truly missed and I will never forget the great person, and best friend I got to call my Hokie. I had the pleasure of meeting his sister, brother in law, nephews and his mother. Who are all as great and welcoming as Eric. I will be praying and keeping you all in my thoughts. I know he’s up there dancing and laughing and watching all who he loves. 
With much love 
Gabriella James 

Eric loved his nephews.  He was an incredible uncle.
He made Mickey Mouse pancakes for them, played with them, and always made them laugh.

Eric you were an awesome Nino and uncle! I will make you proud and watch over our godson!
