To all of Eric’s Family: I worked with Eric @ TNT Service, Inc. when he was getting concrete from us, and also when he was driving one of the concrete trucks. He always had a kind word for me when he came to the office and was joking around. Eric loved to brag on his children and I know that all of you will miss him very much. You are all in my prayers and God will help you in the healing of your hearts.

I was very sorry to hear of his passing. Eric was my cousin on my mothers side. I haven’t seen him since we were children, as most of our family is very spread out. My thoughts are with him and his family.
Greg & Liz Cody
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Eric was super nice and a great person and friend. Always smiling and waving as he would drive past our home In the neighborhood or blowing the horn as he would go by our new home on the main highway. He will be missed.

There are no words to say. Eric was always a kind person to me. We worked at TNT together. He was always bragging on his children.

Well Eric, another year has past now and it doesn’t seem to be getting any easier. You told me months before this happened that you had been dreaming about this happening and I didn’t believe your interpretation to be valid, and I had some underlying message that the dreams were trying to tell you. Because I didn’t want to believe that would happen to you at only 50 y.o. and I told you that there were older more deserving of the brothers that you would have to wait in line to pass first. Well brother , remember what I said to you if you did pass first, that I’d be the next to follow if that happens because what a cruel balance of fate that would let that happen would surely not want me around kicking dirt in its face. Misty Owens left condolences and now she too has that same sympathies and condolences I write to you may she too rest in peace. As I know you will too, but before I say good bye I do know you always said if there was a afterlife and you could communicate to us through it that you would let us know any way you could, and now I know it is true , I will see you again Eric , but what are you telling me is over the mountain top? I will not worry then too much about it , until the time is right and when thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven . Ye though we walk through the valley of death , I shall fear no evil. Satan, get behind me. I love you and will see you again very soon.
