    Eric was one of my favorite people growing up in Hereford, and mostly because of his good-hearted nature. We lost touch after high school, but seeing all of the accolades about him pouring in here and on Facebook, it’s apparent that he continued to bless many lives with his big heart.
    Please accept our heartfelt condolences. May the God of peace be with each of you as you lay him to rest and celebrate his life.
