Personal note from David

This online memorial was originally created to help provide an opportunity for those who knew Eric to send their condolences and provide emotional support for Mrs. Cho, who was bereaved of her son on February of 2021. She depended heavily on Eric for every day needs and routines and as the only immediate family member remaining in the U.S. after Eric's passing, she later returned to Korea and now resides there. Now, this online memorial serves as a memento dedicated to the life and death of a kind friend, a thoughtful manager, and a loving son we all will surely miss.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a moment to remember Eric. Please feel free to share this page with anyone you believe is not aware of his passing. His ashes were released at an undisclosed location but an annual memorial will be held in his honor. For details please refer back to this page or feel free to get in touch. Peace be with you all.

Event details

Memorial events are private

While there were many Ms. Cho would've liked to contact and invite to the funeral service which took place on February 25, 2021, she mentioned that it was nearly impossible to reach anyone due to Eric's phone being locked and she therefore had no way of contacting any of the people he knew. In addition to COVID-19 regulations that were imposed on the mortuary, the family was limited on the number of guests that were able to attend. In light of this and in consideration of how the status update announcing his passing may have been missed by those who knew Eric, this online memorial was created to help commemorate his life and the memories we all may have shared with him. It was meant to offer those who were not able to attend his funeral or did not know he has passed so that they may send their condolences and so that he may continue to live on, forever in our hearts. While some may wonder how he passed and may hope to find the answer to that question here, please be aware that out of respect and consideration for the family, I have refrained from including the cause of his death and kindly ask that you will do the same. It is a difficult time for many of us, some more than others, and whatever the cause may be, we wish only that Eric may rest in peace. Thank you for understanding. Eric was cremated and his ashes will be or has been disbursed.
