Dear Karen, Ryan & Family,
We’re so sorry for your loss. Eric meant so much to us, & we hope it brings a little comfort to know how many lives he touched, including ours. To us, he was Airman, a nickname Samuel gave him, & one Eric returned with “SamMan.”
Summers at Whitefish Lake were always more fun with Eric around. Whether it was wild jet ski rides, golf cart & ATV adventures, or dancing on the deck with music cranked all the way up, he brought the energy, the laughs, & the joy. He was the best dance partner, always ready with the perfect move & an even better joke. His classic one-liners & those hilarious reels had us all laughing.
We’ll always remember the happy hours that turned into late nights, the FaceTimes, the stories from your trips with Mom & Gary, the laughs with “the peeps,” & the silly moments, like sneaking up on him during his afternoon naps.
Eric had a way of making everyone feel like they belonged. He loved big, lived fully, & made life a lot more fun. We’re all better for having known him.
We love you, Airman. You’ll always be with us.
With love,
Kelly, Olivia & SamMan
