Eric was born June 08, 1973 in Tuscaloosa to Margaret Ann (Holladay) and the late Harvey W. Averette. An avid Hunter and Fisherman, he enjoyed being outdoors more than anything. Tinkering in his shop, riding his motorcycle, spending time at the River and watching Auburn Football with friends were among some of his most favorite pastimes. Eric loved his family, a wonderful Daddy, he enjoyed being at the ballpark watching his children. He was especially proud of his role as “Paw Paw” to his grandchildren. Riding his grands around on the side by side will always be among some of their most treasured memories. Eric’s beautiful blue eyes and contagious smile could change anyone’s day from bad to good. He was loved beyond measure and will be greatly missed by all.
In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by one brother Shannon H. Averette, and his grandmother Margie W. Holladay.
