Eric, a kind, gentle, caring soul who’s short life touched everyone around him.I loved him dearly and surely always will. He was everything good this old world has to offer. I’ll keep your memory in my heart son and see you again some day on the other side.
He would always kiss my head and tell me i smell good. He saved my life in Florida one time. Mayonnaise cake was his favorite. He loves the candy letters gma puts on his cake. Loved Eli SOOO much. He loved Lisa SO SO much. He loves his family. He kept everything I’ve made/given to him. He used to live with us.
Mommy always calls him ‘Eric Steven’ when she’s mad at him ! (: <3333333
I remember when he thought I was just the craziest kid ever. I remember going to his house and meeting baby Eli. I remember him telling me not to let the Juniors and Seniors pick on me. I remember I asked him how he was and told me he was good and just trying to be the best dad he could be. I remember making a funny audio recording with my best friend and he was right there. I remember when I would be with Lexi and he was always around with a smile on his face. He told me ‘Its 5 o’ clock somewhere’ 🙂 I remember how we would always pick on eachother. I remember him being the BEST uncle/father/sibling/friend . I miss you Eric.
A memory that comes to mind…Eric would pick Andria Smith and I up for school in his little Honda CRX and we would listen to Master P. Andria and I would be scrunched together in his front seat. LOL Eric was a pretty awesome guy. It was always fun to catch up with him from time to time. Last time I saw him was at his sister’s house. We sat outside by the fire. Probably a little over a year ago. Man how time flies. You will be missed Eric!
our dear sweet eric, u truly are that. one of a kind, so gentle. ive never mett another person like u. and i cant believe the world has lost such an amazing person. it feels so unreal. ive been constantly reliving all of the memories i have of u, and i dont have a single bad one. u cant say that about many people. we will never get over the loss of u. im going to leave with my most favorite memory of u. the day u mett ava. the second u walked through the door, she had u wraped around her tiny little finger. u were always so good at making me feel wanted, but the second u saw her, i was replaced, lol. and i was ok with that, happy about it really. we went on that really long drive that day. watching u b soo careful with putting the car seat in ur big truck. picking her up like she was glass. taking 5 minutes to buckle her in. and even though she was asleep before we got to the interstate, u cldnt keep ur eyes off her. every turn, every bump, u wld whip ur head around,(with lightining like speed), and check on her. the best part was u doing 55 mph on 70. u kept saying, look at these idiots flying by us. id just smile, (while thinking, dang ur not even close to the speed limit, lol). it took us an hour and 10 minutes for a 45 minute drive. and i know u didnt think i noticed the look of relief when we got to our destination. i appreciated u treating the most precious thing in the world to me like she was just as precious to you. but thats how u are, and theres not enough people in this world like that. we truly have been cheated. rest in heaven our sweet eric.
I can hear Pam Jenkins saying it now ‘ the ladies Love MY Eric Steven!’ and she was so right!!! He had charm out of this world and eyes that you would drop dead for….I remember the kindness in his touch the first time I ever met him & he truly was a very compassionate protecter. Baby Eli will live on and be the strength for Pam,Angie,Lexi,& Terry and Lisa you will forever have the golden piece to Eric’s heart, that beautiful baby…I will always be their for your mother that was so special to you Eric. May God BLess……
Just Friday Eric was showing me his new pictures of Eli on his phone and talking to the picture in ‘baby’ talk. He was such a proud Dad and truely a kind soul. He will be missed. Dawn
I never got to meet Eric but his mom is an icon in this community and we mourn his death with her.
I was ALWAYS excited to see him. I always wanted to be with him. He was my pride and joy, and I miss him so so much, But I’m sure he’s much better off now in heaven . I miss you more than I ever have. I still can’t even believe he’s gone. This probably isn’t the last time I’m gonna write on here. But it helps…
I remember walking over to Lexi’s house every morning before school to make sausage and eggs with her. Then we’d save some one a different plate for when Uncle Eric comes downstairs. I miss joking around with him and picking on each other, he was a great person to be around. R.I.P. Uncle Eric, we love and miss you soo much. <3
You are in our thought and prayers, so sorry for your lose.
Eric, you have been taken away from everyone too soon. I am going to miss your very very sweet self. You definately left your mark on all of us.. RIP
Eric was a kind gentle soul. he is loved and missed terribly by me.
I just saw a vid with me and Eric (: I didnt know about that… Made me happy that I have some sort of memory to look back on with him. Im gonna hopefully head to his showing in a bit! See you soon, Eric! <3
Pam & Terry: Our thoughts are with you and we certainly understand from experience how difficult it is to lose a child. I know that all the messages in the world cannot bring Eric back, but the support of loving family & friends will help you in this difficult journey. We are moving out of state so we do not know when we will see you again, but please accept our virtual hugs & tears as the angels take care of your son. He will be waiting to see you again some day. Love to you, Mike & Betsie Routh
