As most of you know, Eric has passed away. He was like a brother to me, and I know he was like a brother to many others. He had a one of a kind personality that made him so easy to love. From the moment we met we were inseparable to the point that people actually thought we were brothers. We remained close until the end and I thank God for having a friend like Eric to go through life with. He was a great friend to so many people and will be deeply missed by all. I can honestly say that Eric was the strongest person I've ever known and he has my deepest admiration.

Unfortunately, Eric was diagnosed with ALS which he ultimately succumbed to. Watching him face this devastating disease with such courage was both heartbreaking and inspiring. With his passing, I would like to do anything I can to help with any expenses that come with putting Eric to rest. The costs of a funeral can be overwhelming, and I want to help ease the burden on his family during this difficult time.

If anyone can donate to help a grieving family, please do so if you are able. Your support, whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser, would mean so much to all of us who loved Eric. Thank you for your kindness and for helping us honor his memory.
