Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

We will always remember Eric as very kind, honest, and fair. He had been to our home on different occassions, in the past, reguarding our son Ty. He never judged, accused, or placed blame. He alsways wanted to guide our youth on a better path and gave them advice on how to accomplish that. My daughter, Emily, remembers the time he helped on her car accident. She was petrified, but Eric was gentle and reassuring. Keokuk County lost a wonderful person, who set a fine example and made a lasting impression on this family. Our thoughts are with his family and and co-workers.
