In lieu of flowers

Please consider a contribution to Eric’s Celebration of Life.

Background

On March 4th Eric left earth side to be with his Mother, Mother in Law, Father in Law and many past relatives and friends in the after life. If you knew Eric you knew he was rugged, a hard ass, and blunt. Though if you also knew Eric he was loyal, Honorable and a true Teddy Bear. He had a kind soul though it had a rough exterior. He loved fiercely & continuously.

With his passing my mother and I are shocked from the out pour. Honestly, Eric would be as well. He always said no one would notice, but everyone has noticed and everyone is grieving. It shows you how much he was loved and cherish and we are so thankful so many got to enjoy him like we did.

This fundraiser is to help cover the cost of the celebration of life he requested we throw. He wants this to be a party, he wants everyone to enjoy being around one another, telling stories about him, and showing life some hell just like he did. Due to the out pour of love and support and how many people want to attend this celebration we are finding we need a much bigger space. Plus many have asked where they can donate or help us in this time, we truly only need the help of throwing the biggest party Eric wanted.

All money raised will go towards the rental of the facility for the celebration, the catering for the event, and any other expenses that may come with this. Any money left over will go towards helping his wife Andrea or going into a savings account for Eric’s two grandchildren, Penelope and Orion. He adored them so deeply, and enjoy the special times he had with them. Beyond that anything else will go to the Clark County Veterans Assistance. If you cannot donate but would like to honor Eric in some way, we do ask that you donate food or clothes to the Clark County Veterans Assistance in Vancouver, WA. The work they do for veterans in their earth side life and their post death is amazing along with what they do for their families. They are a gift from god.

We greatly appreciate you all sharing, donating, giving back and celebrating Eric and his life in any way you can in this time.

With Love,
Andrea, Erin, Zac, Penelope and Orion
