My deepest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. Eric was more than just a friend; he was someone I was grateful to have known and shared memories with. His friendship meant a lot to me, and I will always remember him with respect and fondness.

Eric, you will be missed, my friend. Thank you for the memories and the friendship. May you rest peacefully in heaven, and may your soul shine bright for eternity.

Erick, you supported me in so many ways. I could always count on you to have fun, laugh, or simply make light of a tough situation. I never thought I would love your music more than I already do. Growing up in the Wild was so cool, and it’s literally a “if you know, you know” type of childhood. 🤍 All of your boys came through to support you and us at the benefit. We all know you’re smiling and jamming alongside us. We’ll keep pushin’ through life just as you did. Whatever you did, you did it with so much effort, and I’m going to carry that same mentality in all I do. Rest in peace. We love you!

“…you up in paradise and that’s something you shouldn’t fear.” 🎶

My condolences to the family especially to his Three sons praying for them. The Lord to give them strength and to know the father they had. I do not know your family I live not too far from lindale is that has affected me and has heartbreaking me my prayers to all the family in the name of Jesus Amen and amen

You was my best friend, and a brother. I remember that hot summer day I met you, and Jay in that little swimming pool. I said “What’s up, cool pool, what’s your names?” You said “My name is Erick, and this is my brother Jr. Yall were eyeballing me, like who’s bro talking about our pool. I told yall I knew some other kids, and I’ll go get them we can all hang out. I ran to Frog, & Tony to tell em i found us a place to cool off there’s some new kids on our block. That day started a life time friendship. Tony, Frog, Erick, Jr, Isaac, and Brian were locked in. I remember you always bucking the system. You would stay out when them street lights came on, and if your from the 90’s you know that meant have your arse in the house. You would get Jay in trouble with you, cause Mr. G didn’t play that. We went from playing with water pistols, BB guns, sports, paintball, Astroworld trips, Splash Town trips, monkey hills, cici’s pizza, hide and go seek, to thuggin. You changed for the better though. God knows you love your family, and friends. You was a WARRIOR. I Stood next to you in combat in life in them “Nasty Nawf!” streets of The H. We were always in some bs once we got in our teens, and up to adult lives. We were in them streets heavy, and everyone knew it. It’s amazing that we made it as far as we did. We weren’t suppose to make it at the rate we was going. That’s what really hurts, because you did change. I guess I Remember you use to say “We don’t wanna grow up, we wanna fight pirates our whole life like THE LOST BOYS in PETER PAN.” You grew up though, and became an adult. You took care of your business. You need to know though,  I still will fight the pirates brother, and if the GOOD LORD LETS ME STAND NEXT YOU AS AN ANGEL in his war when my time comes….I WOULD BE HONORED TO DO IT AGAIN, FOR YOU ARE ONE OF THE LAST REAL WARRIORS. I LOVE YOU BROTHER!!! Like we use to say I’LL SEE YOU IN VALHALLA FOR…I KNOW YOU WILL BE THERE!
