My condolences to ur family 💐 I have to admit I had to keep scrolling ur pic back on the screen the other day from disbelief. I saw a pic of u smiling and showing ur golds. I thought about wen I use to have u laughing wen we was locked up, and u would always slide over smiling.. "hey u gona braid me up☺️?" I will miss u and I'm glad and honored I was given the opportunity to meet u. U was a kool and silly dude, as well as a great friend. Keep smiling, Lil Twin😉 SIP my guy

Eric was more than a friend. He was my brother. His words always so soft spoken yet so meaningful. To have a conversation, one always came out looking at the world differently and those moments of simply sitting in his car at work talking about everything are just some of the smaller moments that now are the biggest effect. I will miss him. The world feels a lot smaller now without my friend. Rest in peace, Eric. You are my brother.
