Eric had many interests.Most apparent was his passion for aviation.At an early age, Eric was immersed in all things aviation; videos, models, posters, and clothes.While attending his first airshow as a 3 year old, Eric would talk incessantly naming the planes as they passed by. "Look, look!An F-18!There goes a C-130!"Eric also developed an interest in photography and videography, primarily around airports and airplanes. Others were his love of playing electric and acoustic guitar and bass, hanging out with his friends, eating Soba and Udon, Bronies, Amoeba Records, gaming, and building antique computers.

Eric was coming into his own. He was looking forward to pursuing a career in the computer industry, traveling to air shows, and visiting Europe and Japan again.Eric had a tender and loving heart.It was demonstrated by his deep loyalty and generous character. He was compassionate and empathetic, especially with those he sensed needed it.He touched many lives.He had a dry sense of humor and a deep laugh.

He was the joy of our lives and he is irreplaceable. The void he leaves is heartbreaking but we know we will be joyfully reunited someday.
