I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Death is never welcomed, but it seems to be something we all are accustomed too. Please be assured that the bible promises that God will soon undo death (Revelation 21:3,4) and he promises in John 5:28,29 to resurrect our loved ones right here on earth. I hope these promises as well as your wonderful memories bring you comfort.

To Kirk and the Small family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I looked up to Eric like a big brother. I will always cherish the great times we had in CYO and I will always remember his smile. Hugs to you and your family.

Patty - so sad to hear the news. I'm SO glad we got to visit last summer. I have precious memories of your wonderful living arrangements with Eric and Craig, with Eric cheerfully managing everything both at home and throughout the neighborhood. Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. God bless.

Eric tied two beautiful bunches of baby balloons to our porch before I got home from the hospital with our baby, Teddy. He met Teddy when he was 4 days old in our dear neighbor Connie's home. He was so thrilled to meet him, and so happy for us. He was a man I always looked forward to seeing. He was true, and kind, and loving. He was the best. I will miss knowing he is here with us, but will forever remember his generosity of spirit and love of life. Hugs to your entire family.

Kirk I never met your brother Eric but after reading that beautiful obituary I feel  I know a little about him.  When I saw his smile I knew he was your brother.  It is heartbreaking to lose a loved one so young.  May you and your family find peace in all the love and prayers that are being offered for you.
My condolences to you and your family.

Uncle Eric had a loving and giving spirit that nobody will ever be able to replicate. His generosity, caring personality, and passion for everything he did is what comes to mind whenever I think of him. He left an impact on everybody around him, and his smile and contagious laugh was something that could light up any person's day. I miss you more than you will ever know.I love you so much Uncle Eric, ahaw

What a beautifully expressed tribute to a much-loved man. Kristin, knowing what it feels like to lose a brother at too young an age, no matter what age, you and your family are in my thoughts. May you take comfort in memories of his physical time on Earth and find peace knowing his spirit remains always with you.

Uncle Ralph and I are sure going to miss our monthly early bird specials at Applebee's in Windham, with you, your mother and Craig.  Also all the summers at Little Sebago Lake jumping off the Big rock with the nieces and nephew.  Eric left us way too soon.

My heart is with the family during this time of sadness. Seems so unfair that he's gone at such an early age. He was/is a person with such an extremely huge heart, there can only be one reason that he's no longer here with us.
