Our hearts are shattered. On 29 August 2025, my beloved cousin, Eric, passed away unexpectedly. Losing him so suddenly has left us devastated and struggling to process this loss while preparing to honor his beautiful life.

Eric was the kind of person who left a lasting impression on everyone he met. His outrageous laugh, goofy personality, and generous spirit could brighten anyone’s day. He had a heart of gold and was always willing to help others, no matter what. Beyond being a cousin, he was a loving father, a proud grandfather, a son, a brother, and a loyal friend to many.

We are raising funds to cover funeral and memorial expenses and to bring Eric home from Virginia to Tennessee, where he can rest close to family. This unexpected tragedy has placed a heavy financial burden on us, and your support—whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser—means the world.

Eric’s time on earth was far too short, but his love, laughter, and kindness will live in our hearts forever. Thank you for standing with us during this incredibly difficult time.

With love and gratitude,

Brecia Carr
