OBITUARY
Eric Karl Reuter
May 26, 1968 – January 30, 2013
Eric Rueter-- there is NO other like him. He had the biggest smile you have ever seen and a personality that was larger than life. He was born to light up any dark room, and would do so at any given chance. His motto for his life was “living every day like it’s your last”……and that he did. If there was a good time to be had anywhere/ anytime you can bet Eric was not going to miss out and he was bringing himself as the main attraction!! Silly faces and Goofy voices, what a character he was…. Eric was a SHOW STOPPER!!!! This was a man that could literally meet you in a gas station while pumping gas and before you know it---he is someone you are calling a good friend. Eric made a huge impact on many people’s lives. Eric had many interest and hobbies, but one BIG DEAL to him was to ride his Harley---summer, spring, winter and fall---he didn’t care, put the wind on his man’s face and he was in heaven. He liked the feeling of freedom he got when he was on his bike, being the free spirit that he was. In the past year Eric also had been developing a relationship with GOD and enjoyed going to church, so no doubt he is smiling where he is now…HOME with our heavenly father, smiling his great big smile looking for us to celebrate his life…GOD BLESS is family and friends, may you find peace knowing his spirit will never leave us. May his soul rest in peace, but his spirit always be alive!

I was so saddened when I saw this in the paper. This brought me back to such fun,innocent and happy times in my childhood in Norwood and Eric was a big part of those times for me. Eric was a charmer even in grade school he was popular ,funny,caring,and I was lucky enough to have called him a friend. I am so sorry for all that have to endure this terrible heartbreak. I pray for all of his family and friends that each day their hearts heal enough to live their lives as happy as one can expect as I'm sure that's what Eric would want.

Eric,
What do I say? We were through sooo much together. I was sooo excited that my new job was potentially bringing me to visit you in South Carolina this year. You and Josh were my anchors. Your energy was everlasting, your vibe contagious and your soul beautiful to the core. I can never thank you or tell you love you enough. Although our time was cut short it was the amazing! Xoxoxoxo thank you for everything you know what you have done.
Love Always,
Your lil' sis
