Eric was in 3 of my classes at ECU. He demonstrated a beautiful spirit, a loving heart, and a humble persona. He was intelligent, courageous, and ready to give all of himself to others. He so wanted to make his family proud by graduating and so desired to help those in need. I am sure he did indeed make his family proud and he always did helped others. With just a smile he could make someone feel better. Everyone who knew Eric well will miss him and love him always.

I am deeply saddened to hear about Eric's passing. Eric was an amazing student who I had the privilege of teaching AVID during his seventh and eighth grade school years at Enfield Middle School. He was a smart young man who consistently exhibited good manners, respect and integrity. Sending heartfelt condolences and sincere prayers for his family and friends.

Eric was such a wonderful young man. He was such an inspiring social work student and I was so impressed with his kind heart, passion for his major, and overall maturity. He spoke at a College event for Health and Human Performance about his experience as SOCW student for high school counselors. He was funny and charismatic and I remember him well. I wanted to extend my deepest sympathy for your family. Susannah Berry, Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Studies for College of Health and Human Performance
