I met Eric through my nephue Joseph Johnson the day I met Eric I knew he was a great guy with a heat of gold Eric would have gave his last dime he had or shirt off his back to help u out just a all out American guy.  I asked Eric if he would help me one day do some things at my house he said yes so we Did them when we were done I went to hand Eric money for helping me he would not take it he said friends don't except money he said one hand washes the other so I tryed again he said if u try one more time I'm going to kick your butt lol we laughed so I then we ent to his book bag he had with him he never went anywhere without the bag so I put the money in the bag later that nite I received a call from Eric telling me thank you ...  Eric was a true friend like a brother I'll never forget him never he will always carry a special place in my heart and mind I love you buddy I'm going to miss you so much don't know what me and Joe Will do without you ..till we meet in heaven God bless Eric see u on the other side buddy hope your at the gates of heaven when we arrive .

My deepest condolences to the family, friends, and everyone grieving at this time.  May the happy memories give you strength at this difficult time and the days to come.  It was an honor to know Eric with his ability to put a smile on your face with his infectious smile.  Jessica, Maddyson, and Kaleigh, my heart goes out to you.

So sorry for your loss. Eric will always be missed but never forgotten.  Rest in peace my friend.

Sending my sympathy and prayers to Eric's family and friends.  Although I did not know him, being the son of Kip I can only imagine what a wonderful young man he was.  God bless!!
