I met Eric when studying at the University of Pennsylvania.  We worked on a class project together. Through that and Friday night Wharton get-togethers, I got to know him better. I will always remember him as an insightful, methodical and calm person. My love and sympathy to all those who grieve this loss,



Eric was my classmate at Wharton.  It was 10 years ago that I met him.  I will always remember him as a loving and smiling person.  May his soul rest in peace.

I was so sorry to hear of Eric's passing. I got to know Eric when we worked together at CSAA. Eric and I both started working early on the morning and had many good conversations before our coworkers arrived. He had a great sense of humor, was full of life and always a pleasure to be around. I had the pleasure of hooking up with Eric and some of my CSAA coworkers while in Denver attending a conference in the fall of 2015. We met at a bar so that we could try his beer.  My sincerest sympathies to Christie, Paxton and Eric's parents for your loss. Eric will truly be missed by all who knew him and loved him.

I still can not wrap my head around the reality that you are no longer here with us.  My heart breaks for sweet little Paxton.   You were a great dad, husband, friend, son and cousin.    You will be deeply missed cousin.  I have great relief knowing you are no longer feeling anything but happiness and love walking the streets of gold in heaven with my daddy, your uncles and grandparents meeting you with open arms at those pearly gates.  Please give them a big hug from me. Words just can not describe the feeling of loss any of us have.  Until we meet again cousin.  Xoxoxo

Eric was a great friend! He always laughed at anything... and I mean anything. I never saw him unhappy. We had a lot of great times in high school and after. We had a blast with our friends in high school and there after on the lake in Lake Havasu. I remember taking him to Papago Park in Phoenix riding mountain bikes in the 90s. He pulled of the best crash I have ever seen. Going down hill from one of the buttes and laying it down right on the pavement below at 20 mph and doing this tuck and roll and landing on his feet. Someone was definitely looking out for him that day. Below is a photo from a Vegas trip we took. We were throwing paper airplanes out the window of the 19th floor (I believe) of the Circus Circus tower hotel.  We did some funny stuff together. The trips we took to Tahoe snowboarding were a blast. Lots of laughs on the slopes. I will always remember his laugh. It was almost always louder than everyone else's and was full of happiness. I will always remember you dude!

Love, Sean

We want Eric's family to know that he was such a great neighbor. We felt so fortunate when he and Christie and Paxton moved in next door. He was kind and helpful and laughed at our dumb jokes. He took great care of his home and property, and we loved seeing him outside playing with his cute, cute boy. We are in shock that he is gone. We wanted to spend many more years getting to know him and seeing his business thrive. We share in your loss but can only imagine how this must be for you. With our deepest sympathy,
Bridget and Jon, Falls Church, VA
