After a day of hiking and swimming we set up camp and spent hours talking about life. I will never forget those conversations. I was proud to watch you grow into a young man with so much enthusiasm and plans for your future. A future  that was cut much to short. My first  born son passed  away Thursday, unexpectedly and much to soon. He also leaves behind a beautiful baby boy who will never know what a caring, hard working, amazing father Eric would be.  I am asking for my family and friends to help me, help his mother and wife bury my son.
