Eric Harrison - Center City Phila. Macy's Tragedy

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Eric Harrison, whose life was taken from us through a senseless violent crime that occurred at his workplace, Macy's in Center City Philadelphia. Yesterday, Eric went to work like many of us and sadly didn't return home. He works in Loss Prevention and he and a colleague thwarted a would-be theft in action. Eric was a hardworking young man. We are devastated by his passing as he was such a good son, grandson, brother, nephew, and friend. He was respectful to his parents, his elders, and others. He was kind, giving, and loyal. He always smiled, was a man of few words, was an observer, loved to make jokes and laugh and enjoyed a small circle of true friends. He did all the right things and never dishonored his parents. The family is heartened to have received countless requests from family, friends, and strangers asking if there is a way they can show their love and support by way of a Go Fund Me donation, so we are establishing this fund on behalf of these requests, which will go to his mother, Dawn Fobbs and father, Eric Coates, to settle any final expenses.

Please continue to pray for the family. We appreciate each and every one of you.

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Matthew 5:4

Sorrowfully,

The Family
