We are heartbroken to share the sudden passing of our dear friend, Eric—known and loved by so many as “Eric Black.” If you knew Eric, you know he was the life of the party. Big energy, always laughing, always showing up for his people. He didn’t know strangers, just friends he hadn’t met yet. He loved his Peruvian culture, loved soccer, and even found peace taking care of his bonsai trees. And more than anything, he loved Pam, the love of his life.

Right now, Pam, his mom, brother, and cousins are going through the unimaginable. The loss of Eric has left a huge hole in their lives, and they are facing the emotional and financial challenges that come with saying goodbye far too soon. We want to help ease some of the burden by raising funds to cover funeral expenses and provide support to Pamela and Eric's family as they navigate this difficult time.

If Eric ever made you smile or showed up for you, this is our chance to do the same for him and his loved ones. Your support—whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser—means everything. Thank you for helping us honor Eric’s memory and support his family when they need it most.
