How do I describe my precious grandson...Eric had a ready smile, an infectious laugh, and an upbeat personality. He viewed the world without judgment and with a unique ability to put a positive spin on almost anything. No matter what was going on in his life, his outlook was always, 'It's gonna be okay.' He was the best big brother ever to his little sister, Taylor, and his love for his mother, Sheila, had no bounds. He was a loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend. He was also a caring ""daddy"" to his fur baby, Gizzy. He enjoyed music and was a talented rapper, writing and performing his own songs; his lyrics were insightful and he sang with an intensity that was powerful. He was also a talented artist with a wonderful way of expressing himself through his drawings. Eric was wise beyond his years and he loved helping others. He often talked about becoming a counselor 'some day.' Sadly, Eric's 'some day' never came. He left this world on 06/28/14 at age 22, taking all of his hopes and dreams with him and leaving many broken hearts behind. He is dearly missed and will be forever remembered with love in the hearts of many.
