I had the privilege to know Eric and sit next to him for 16 weeks in the Academy. It seemed like just yesterday I was arm wrestling him in class. Eric was a very kind person, the kind of person we all wanted to be around. He will truly be missed. Rest in peace Brother, may you watch over all of us. Kane.

WE ALL GO TO WORK EVERY DAY WITH THAT THOUGHT OF NEVER RETURNING HOME TO OUR LOVED ONES IN THE BACK OF OUR MINDS, BUT WE NEVER THINK WE WILL BE THE ONE. MAY GOD HOLD HIM CLOSE TO HIS SIDE AND ALLOW HIS FELLOW OFFICERS OVERCOME THIS TRADGEDY AND REMEMBER THIS OFFICER FOR ALL THE LIFES HE TOUCHED, AND THE DIFFERENCE HE MADE. GOD BLESS

To the family and co-workers of Eric. I am sorry to hear of the loss that you have just sufford. A very good friend and co-worker of mine was murdered on 8/21/01. He left behind a nine month old daughter that will never remember him in person same as Eric's son. So those of you that are close to the family make sure that his son knows what kind of hero his father was. he may not remember him, but he will never forget him. GOD SPEED AND GOD BLESS!!
