I am so very sorry to hear of Eric’s passing! He and his family was always such pleasure to wait on at the Diner. Sending my deepest condolences to his family during this difficult time
I am so sorry Glenn. It isn’t suppose to happen this way. You are in our prayers and thoughts. Also, sorry for Amy and family. May God bless all of you.
Glenn and all Eric’s family members, Terry and I send sincere condolences for your loss. It’s just not the proper order of things, for you to lose Eric so young. Our hearts hurt at the thought of such incomprehensible pain, and we pray that memories of good days will be stronger for you as time passes.
Kathy and Terry Lynch
RIP Eric
It is hard to believe a young man and friend of my children has passed at such a young age. Eric spent lots of time at our home and at times seemed like one of my own. Having his license, he often drove to special events as our children did not have a license. He was such a fun loving, down to earth guy who loved life to the fullest. I immediately thought of the song, “I Can Only Imagine” when Troy called and told me of Eric’s passing. Praise God for His promises. Eric knew those promises and is now with his Lord and Savior.
Our deepest condolences to Amy, children as well as his Dad and all family members.

Dear Amy and family, So sorry for your loss. May the Lord be your comfort and peace. Hugs, Lovis
Glenn, Amy and family, so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
My condolences to the Byron family. I went to school with Eric and enjoyed his easy going manner.
Glen, Amy and family,
We are sorry to hear of the loss you all must be feeling. Life is short and we never know what tomorrow brings. Our thoughts are with you. I remember riding mini-bikes at the old farm and shooting pigeons in the barn with Eric.
So sorry for your loss. Thinking of everyone during this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss.
The saying “Only the good die young.” must have started for a similar reason as Eric’s passing. Amy, I was shocked to read your post on Facebook. I wish I could wrap you in my arms and make the pain go away. Dex and I send our sincere condolences to you and the entire extended family.
