Eric lived life with a spirit that couldn’t be contained. During his time here, he worked at CS Wind America as a Stock Assistant Trainer, where his hard work, loyalty, and heart made him respected and loved by everyone who had the privilege of working beside him. Outside of work, Eric made every moment count. Whether he was out fishing at sunrise, rapping with his friends, hooping on the court, camping under the stars, or just vibing at the gym he lived fully and fearlessly. But his favorite moments were always with his family and friends, especially his baby brother, Xavier, who was his pride and joy. Eric had a smile that could change the whole energy of a room bright, contagious, and unforgettable. His humor, his presence, his energy; you felt it. He was deeply spiritual, starting each morning in meditation, collecting crystals, and grounding himself in nature. He always knew there was more to life than what we see that this human body was just a temporary vessel for a much greater soul. And that’s why we know even though he’s no longer here in the physical Eric isn’t gone. His spirit is free, his energy is eternal, and he’s still with us in every laugh, every sunrise, and every moment of peace. His light will never fade. Eric, your journey here may have ended, but your story doesn’t stop. It lives in every soul you touched, every laugh you sparked, every bit of love you left behind. You showed us what it meant to live fully, to love deeply, and to walk in truth. The world feels different without you in it, but we’ll keep your light alive not out of grief, but out of gratitude for ever having known you. Fly high, and rest in eternal love and peace, Da Real ET; You will forever be loved and missed by all who knew you.
