Thank you Erc, for all the laughs, and great colleague to be around. RIP
Sincerely, The Nash Family🙏
Deeply saddened and shocked for your loss. My heart and prayers go out to all that knew Eric.
Eric and I served together at Mayport, FL. I recall several occasions where I would go into his shop about 15 minutes before end of shift and tell him we had a few pieces of gear for him to work on. His reaction was priceless. He was always happy to hear me tell him that I was joking, and then ask him for a pinch of skoal.
He will be truly missed.
My dear friend,
My heart hurts. How deeply profound is this?
I have learned so much from you in this life.
I am so grateful that you were my friend I love you like a brother and you will always remain in my heart.
Thank you for being a huge part of my life.
Love, Michelle
We had not spoken in awhile, but Eric was one of my closest friends when we were stationed at Mayport, FL together. One year we both didn't have plans to go home for the holidays, so we had volunteered to stand watch on Christmas day so others could spend that holiday with their families. Afterwards we picked up Chinese food and went back to my newly bought house and he helped me paint
my walls . He was just that kind of guy who would unselfishly give up his time for others. I am kind of speechless about this. Here is a photo I had of him back when he was on deployment around maybe 2005 or 2006. My dearest condolences to his family.
I will always remember when in June 2018 Joia and Eric babysat our 1-year old daughter Dinah so as parents, Annika and I could attend a concert. Eric was a big teddy bear playing games and rolling around on the floor with Dinah making her giggle the entire night. At the end of the night, Eric thanked us and said: I think I’m now ready to have another kid. I remember when you both opened your home to us on Christmas Day. Eric made a camp fire in the front yard so we could roast marshmallows. I remember how excited Eric was when he found out he was having a son. I will always appreciate that I was able to meet and get to know Eric. We will miss him.
