In Loving Memory of Eric Rideout

On Monday morning, November 17, our beloved Eric Rideout was tragically taken from this world far too soon in a car accident. Born on June 1, 2003, Eric brought light, laughter, and love to everyone who knew him.

Eric is survived by his precious daughter and many loving family and friends.

A young man with big dreams, Eric was an aspiring boxer, working hard to build a life filled with hope and stability for his daughter. His sense of humor, loyalty, and deep love for his family and friends defined who he was. He showed up for the people he loved and wasn’t afraid to share his heart with the world.

Now, his family is left facing unimaginable grief as they navigate this devastating loss. Our family is asking for help to cover the costs of Eric’s cremation and memorial service, so we can honor his life with the love and dignity he deserves.

Any amount, no matter how small, will make a difference and help lift some of the financial burden during this heartbreaking time. If you’re unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing this campaign or holding Eric’s family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support as we come together to remember and celebrate the life of a remarkable young man who was taken too soon.

️Forever in our hearts, Eric.

Update:

We are beyond grateful for the vast generosity pouring in from our family and community. Any additional funds raised beyond the cost of his cremation and memorial will be donated to a cause close to Eric's heart. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
