Eric was a force from the minute he entered this world to the minute he left. He was passionate in what he believed and would stand up without question for any of those he cared about. He loved driving fast in his “R”, hunting and fishing, working on cars and anything else. He was quick to learn things. Smarter than most.
He loved his family and friends but most of all he loved Caitlin, Mila and Madison
